I've gotten tired of the stereotypical PB&J, apple, and water lunches. I'd love some healthy nutritious ideas. Preferable something that can be eaten in about a half hour, at school. Thank you very much!

(10 points goes to most ideas!!!)



Answer
I have a link to 50 different recipes for lunches

http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/packable-lunch-recipes?lnc=5a79cf380e1dd010VgnVCM1000005b09a00aRCRD&rsc=lpg_food&lpgStart=1&currentslide=1&currentChapter=1#ms-global-breadcrumbs

Some of the recipes you will find in the 50 are

Martha's favorite tuna salad sandwich

12 oz good quailty tuna
2 celery stalks chopped
1 apple such as gala or Macintosh peeled and sliced
3 tbsp light mayo
2 tbsp fresh chopped basil
1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
8 best quailty sourdough
salt and pepper

in a medium bowl combine tuna, celery,apple, mayo, basil and lemon juice..mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Divide tuna salad among 4 slices of bread to with another slice and serve.

Chickpea, cherry tomato and feta salad

1/4 a can chickpeas
1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup crumbled feta
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2tsp olive oil
1tsp dried oregano

Rinse chickpeas. In a bowl combine chickpeas, tomatoes, feta, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper. Serve.

Could someone give me a really good healthy whole grain bread recipe for the bread machine?

'm looking for a really good whole grain bread recipe. It MUST be light and fluffy on the inside, I really dont like when bread turns out too dense

Thanks in advance!



Answer
Yes, first link in "sources," but you can get better results if you'll use the bread machine only for the dough. Hear me out.

King Arthur Flour's classic 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread (second link in "sources") is the bread you want, but it's not one you should BAKE in the bread machine. Bread machines don't shape loaves of bread really well, and they can't give you "ovenspring" -- when you put a loaf of proofed dough into a hot oven, the heat makes the yeast go crazy and gives it a very big boost, giving big rise. The bread machine heats gradually, and you don't get as much spring out of it.

You can make this bread using the "dough" cycle on your bread machine, then shape it, let it rise again (proof), and bake it in a hot oven to get really nice results. But if you try to bake this in a bread machine, it won't rise as high, so it will be more dense.

If your schedule or needs require that it bake in the machine, you'll want the first recipe. It won't be as fluffy and light as a loaf that's properly shaped and proofed and put into an already-hot oven, but it'll be tasty.
