Q. I've recently been bringing crackers with a can of tuna and cucumbers to school because i've been eating sandwiches for the past 11 years and i am very very sick of it.
I have access to the year 12 kitchen which has microwaves/toasters/sandwich presses/hot water. I'm looking for a healthy, easy-to-prepare lunch recipe

What are easy and healthy lunches to bring to school?
Q. I'm in college and have to bring my lunch most days this semester because of my schedule. Any tips and tricks or easy recipes for good healthy lunches would be appreciated!
A. there are a lot of things you can do to eat healthy on the go and they can taste great... salads and sandwiches are some
for the salads it is obvious, you just buy the veggies that you like and STORE THEM PROPERLY in your fridge. when you are ready, take them out and throw them together in a bowl. you can even make things interesting by adding apple slices or grapes, basically really nice fresh fruits, with that clean sort of citrussy taste.. you can even add meats like bacon or sliced ham or grilled chicken strips.BUT be careful with those. Keep them in a separate container so their is no spoilage or bacterial contamination.
sandwiches are the best and they don't have to be plain old baloney. go shopping! see what kind of interesting breads you can find.GO AS FAR AWAY FROM WONDER BREAD AS YOU CAN. whole grains are really nice, and sweet breads are surprisingly good with the savory stuff. it's like honey to ham. make sure and add lots of lettuce or whatever greens you like. depending on where you are you can get some pretty decent deli slices, and cheeses and the sweet stuff too.
if you want too add anything soggy like tomatoes or sauces ...it is a really good idea to keep them in another container so your sandwich doesn't end up all soggy
YUCK!
I know that you are in college and that probably means you don't ave great kitchen facillities, but if you do... make good use of it. if you can...try to dedicate a day to make some lunches that will last through the week. Things like ravioli and gilled or fried chicken breasts do really well.
and DO SOME RESEARCH!
there are some really good recipes out there and a lot of them a quick and easy.
