Most days, I find myself counting down the seconds until it is socially acceptable for lunch time. There’s just something about taking a break from sitting at my desk to enjoy a meal with my co-workers. However, I’ve found that most of my lunches come at an annoying price. Yeah, we’re talking around $15 for a salad. Although the salads are filling, my bank account is never left feeling full.
My problem is definitely getting up off the couch after a long weekend to meal prep for the upcoming week. However, this past week I’ve tried some easy-to-make lunches that are suitable for any cooking skill-level. Here are some of the recipes that will have you feeling energized and filled till dinner!
1. Slow-Cooker Burrito Bowls:
These bowls can have you covered for the whole week, and you won’t get tired of them because they’re SO GOOD. These burrito bowls will have you questioning why you went to Chipotle 3 days a week instead of whipping these up in your kitchen!
