Lunching al desko can be a way more enjoyable and, yes, exciting part of your week.
, I got into the routine of packing my lunch every day. At first it was for financial reasons—I was 22 and making an hourly salary equivalent to the cost of a Chipotle burrito —but then the habit stuck. Over the years, I’ve learned to find joy in the simple act of it, which helps keep me from ever feeling like I’m “meal prepping,” a term I find totally depressing. Plus, the longer I do it, the more efficient in the kitchen I become and the more motivated I feel to keep going.
I’ve also found creative freedom in ditching the notion that lunch has to look like something you’d find on the menu at an all-day café. A pile of lentils over quickly torn greens with crumbled feta and lemony dressing or a mishmash of leftover roasted veg with a scoop of hummus and some cooked grains might not be lookers, but they’re the kind of nourishing fuel I need to power through most afternoons. And, they beat the $13+ I’d have to shell out for a mediocre salad bowl any day.
The key is to stealthily fold these tasks into the parts of your existing routine that bring you into the kitchen in the first place
