We often opt for light lunches (and by the time Sukkot rolls around, light dinners as well). For first day lunch, among other delicacies, we enjoyed brie and “chunky” cranberry sauce. I took home the leftovers and have been enjoying it for breakfast. A trip to the store tonight brought more home.
I’m still struggling with packable yet healthy lunch and dinner ideas for during the week. I love my bento set but it is large and bulky to carry around, and that’s just for one meal! I also need to do better with gluten-free breakfasts. 3 packages of rice cakes came home with me, so hopefully that will help. I would love to be able to have congee/okayu, but am not aware of any ready-to-eat kosher options.
I’m also at a loss as to what to make for dinner any more. Everything is starting to taste the same and I’m becoming bored. Do you have a fast, yummy, vegetarian-able, kasher-able (make kosher) dish that you enjoy? We prefer non-spicy and I’d love gluten free…
There have been several comments as to how much fibrey stuff I’ve been finishing lately. Please keep in mind that [most] crochet for me goes really quickly! ;)

Have you tried yogurt with granola (I’m assuming you can find gluten-free granola) for breakfast? That’s been my standard for over a year now and it holds me pretty well.
For dinner — broccoli pasta. Cook the broccoli and save some of the cooking water. Take about 1/3 of it and puree it. Add a touch of salt and mix all broccoli (pureed and un) with cooked pasta. Even the kids like it.
And … get some of Madhur Jaffrey’s indian cookbooks. Lots of vegetarian stuff and you can spice to taste.
I’ve been in a soup mood lately… butternut squash soup, broccoli soup, and I’ll be making tortilla soup later this week. I use chicken broth but I imagine you could use veggie broth instead!
