My GF lunches usually consist of leftovers too, but If I know I’ll be away from a kitchen I have a few favorites. For breakfast I love a cut up an apple and eat it with slices of jack or cheddar cheese.
I rarely by GF bread because I haven’t found one I really like, but wheat free crackers are great. The combinations are endless. I roasted some almost too ripe tomatoes the other night, those with goats cheese and a cracker are great too. Or peanut butter and honey, or tuna salad, or brie and plum chutney…
I also tried your summer roll recipe. So yummy! Now that I am no longer afraid of the rice wrapper, I can wrap almost any type of lettuce salad in them and bring my dressing for a dipping sauce. The small rice addition seems to keep me full longer than a traditional salad. Plus it’s way easier to eat on the go.

I am working somewhere where there is access to a microwave, I usually take a can of Amy’s Tomato soup and some gluten free crackers and peanut butter. I have also take a bowl of grits with cheese that was leftover from breakfast.

I make my own trail mix that has pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and dried pineapple. It goes good with a gluten free pudding cup.

That’s a beautiful foursome for anyone’s lunchbox up there! Yum, yum, book of yum!

I usually just bring leftovers into the bookshop for lunch as I have a microwave under the desk or a peanut butter and jelly or cheese sandwich. Stuffed celery and deviled eggs are also winners, but if I make some up at home my two teenagers usually scarf them up before I have a chance to pack them up.

Gaile’s Mediterranean spread sounds like a great idea.
