Packed Lunch Ideas..?

I will be starting at a new job soon, and plan to pack my own lunches each morning to save myself money on eating out, but I'm clueless as to what to make! So I was hoping for ideas!

Recipes/links (either from here or other sites) for healthy and tasty things that I can whip up in no time and that pack well! I'm not a veg/vegan, and I'll eat almost anything except seafood or eggs, lol. I love salads and am always on the hunt for new combos! Sandwiches are okay.. But I get bored of them quickly. Anything else that comes to mind, please share! And thanks in advance Happy

Work usually has a fridge... so you can take any kind of left overs from dinner... That is what I used to do for my ex. I used to pack left over dinner into a pack for the next day.
My favorite is Brie Grapes (or any fruit) and bread or crackers. It is super satisfying!!

this blog has a lot of cute bento ideas for packed lunches, she even has "kid-friendly" boxes that look like they might be healthier than her more artistic ones http://www.annathered.com/gallery/bento/

Qunioa or Amaranth salad. I add chopped olives, tomato, peppers, green onions, basil, and some lemon juice and olive oil with a pinch of salt for dressing. It's magnificent. Sometimes I add some pumpkin seeds or walnuts. Pack it in a mason jar or a well sealed container.

My lunch of choice is houmous, pitta bread and vegetables. You can vary the veggies however you like, i tend to have carrot, cucumber and cherry toms. I put the houmous in a small tub that will fit inside a larger tub with the pitta and veg. This lunch also has the benefit of being pretty cheap.
