Make your lunches more exciting

Make your mid-day meal more of a celebration than an afterthought

Most of us eat lunch most days. Yet every day it can feel like a new problem.

You know how this goes. You’re starving after a meeting ends at 1:00 p.m. and you wind up waiting in line 10 minutes to grab something overpriced from the cafeteria or something not-so-healthy from a fast food restaurant nearby. Or you’re working at home and the prospects look bleak so you eat cereal.

We’ve all been there, but what’s interesting to me is that often, even people who do a lot of planning for everything else in their lives — including dinners — can have a blind spot about lunch.

But it doesn’t take a lot of thought to make this meal a little more appetizing. Indeed, there are a few steps you can take to make lunch a lot more exciting!
