After dinner, I cut a French baguette in half, layer on meatballs on sauce, and go to bed. That is the easiest lunch ever, right? The classic Italian sub is both practical and delectable. Start yours with a good foundation of a French or sourdough sub roll, and layer on salami, provolone, lettuce, and add Italian dressing.

Make your own, super-easy version of this old favorite by sautéing half a white onion and half a bell pepper in 1 tbsp of butter until the onion is translucent.

Mix in leftover steak and heat. Put the filling on a hoagie roll and top with provolone cheese or, like the real cheese steak, Cheese Whiz. What's that you say? No leftover steak? No problem — just use sliced roast beef deli meat for an easy alternative, like Hillshire Farm recommends.

We've all probably had a turkey sandwich greet us for lunch at some point in our lives. Dress up your turkey with this turkey sandwich recipe from Good Housekeeping. It gets a lift from fresh lemony mayo and spinach greens.

Pasta is a lunchtime staple because it's easy to combine the three main components of any pasta dish — noodles, sauce, and a protein or veggies — in countless ways to create delectable new lunches. Almost everyone eats spaghetti, but not everyone enjoys eating leftover pasta the next day. Transform leftover spaghetti noodles into a tasty pasta frittata by adding six eggs and ¼ cup milk to one cup of leftover spaghetti or fettuccine noodles and cooking on medium heat in a skillet for about five minutes.

Add about two cups of cheese any kind will do , and broil the frittata until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown. For a more fancy version, try this frittata recipe from Rachel Ray. I love pasta salad, not only because it's delicious, but also because it's easy to make and easy to eat on the go.

The most economical way to make past salad is, of course, with leftovers — use pasta, veggies from another dish, and cheese cubed or grated , then toss with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and spices.

You can also add in a protein for an even more filling salad. My personal favorites are cubed chicken, shrimp, or pepperoni. Orzo that small, rice-shaped pasta is wonderful eaten both hot and cold. I make a lunch version by cooking ¼ pound orzo the night before and throwing in ¼ pound pre-cooked shrimp, ½ cup feta cheese, ½ of a chopped cucumber, and some cherry tomatoes.

Toss all the ingredients with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper, and chill. Mmmm, mmmm good! For those people who refuse to be boxed into a neat category, try a lunch recipe that refuses to do the same.

Decide for yourself which most suits your unique personality. This staple at office food days and parties is easy, cheap, and can be made with a tortilla and just about any filling your heart desires. One of my go-to favorites is cream cheese and turkey, but if you're looking for some inspiration, try a few of these ideas from the Williams-Sonoma Blog.

In my humble opinion, the pita pocket is second only to sliced bread when it comes to making a variety of lunch items. I personally love a Mediterranean-inspired version, which involves stuffing a pita with lettuce, red onion, tomatoes, and Kalamata olives and topping with Greek yogurt and cucumber a quasi-tzaziki sauce, if you will.

You could substitute the yogurt and cucumber with hummus, too. Quinoa, a grain-like crop grown for its edible seeds, is a good source of protein, amino acids, and calcium. It is also, by the way, gluten free. Quinoa can be a perfect lunch staple because it is so healthy and easy to make.

Try making your own quinoa salad by cooking two cups chicken broth with one cup of quinoa according to the package directions. Add cooked broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese.

Toss with extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. The tortilla is Mexico's answer to the sandwich. Endlessly versatile, inexpensive, and tasty, tortillas can be filled and folded in innumerable ways. Here are some of my favorites. What could be easier than opening a can of beans and a can of corn, and folding into a burrito?

I make these tasty lunches by using one can of black beans and one can of corn rinse before using ; adding an avocado, red onion, and cilantro; and mixing with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Pile the filling on a flour tortilla, fold burrito-style , and enjoy!
