I'll be doing some specific recipes etc a bit later on in the series... As for your lunch dilemma, it sounds like you could use a meal sized Thermos. In the morning you fill it with hot water to warm it up; in the meantime you heat up something like soup, stew, paella, etc. Dump the water out of the Thermos and put your hot food inside. Seal it up, and it should stay hot until lunch time. Similarly, a lunch bag with an ice pack in the bottom will keep salads, drinks, yogurt, etc all cool until you want them during the day.

I'm doing well at eating at home (because I'm broke), but I'd like to step up my game from frozen pizza and boxed mac & cheese. :) And if you have any savory suggestions for what to do about lunch in an office that doesn't have a microwave or refrigerator...
