Keep at work:
Frozen veggies
Cans of salmon
Coconut milk
Defrost frozen veggies with a little bit of water. 5 minutes. Add can of salmon (drained) and ~ 3 oz of coconut milk. (Half a small can.) Heat for an additional 2 minutes. Add salt/pepper if desired.
Stupid easy, but really quite good.

8 minute easy meal
Use a mandoline slicer to make zucchini noodles. I know this sounds finicky and not fast, but is super easy and goes surprisingly fast.
Add to a pan with a dollop of coconut oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Saute 5 minutes. Add a can of salmon. Heat until warmed through.
If you have pesto, add a dollop of pesto at the same time as the salmon.
Super delish.

Chicken Tomato Pantry Concoction
Yes, I do go for the catchy, catchy names. This was a creation when I was running low to nil on produce and thawed meat. Time to raid the pantry, see what I could do.
I started as I start many of the things I eat - slicing up two onions. Saute, in a large pan, with olive oil on medium high, until a bit translucent and/or a bit browned. Added a few shakes of dried garlic slices (out of fresh - the horror!) and random italian spices - basil, marjoram, and thyme. Saute for a few more minutes.
In the meantime, open the following:
2 large cans of chicken, rinsed and drained (12ish oz)
2 cans diced tomatoes, not drained (15ish oz)
1 can tomato sauce (6 oz)
1/2 jar roasted bell peppers, chopped
Add these all to the pan, mix it all together, bring to a low simmer for 10 minutes.
Garnish with sliced olives.
Really easy and good! Probably 5 meals here.

Bok Choy, Sausage, Squash Stir Fry
I pulled out the veggies that were about to go bad in the fridge for a quick lunch:
1 yellow squash, chopped
5-6 baby bok choy, ends sliced off and the rest chopped, including the greens
1 pre-cooked sausage, chopped (this version happened to be a hickory-smoked version from Costco. Good, but ultimately not really worth the price, in my opionion)
Heat up some olive oil in a saute pan, add the squash and sausage as well as some salt and pepper. Saute for a few minutes until the squash is soft, then add in the bok choy. Saute for another 5 minutes or so until the greens are wilted.
Delicious and Easy!

Easy Lunch
I'm finally out of leftovers for lunch, so something simple, good, easy, and available:
Deli turkey, some spinach, red pepper, cucumber, and avocado. I like to roll the other ingredients into the turkey. Sometimes I'll roll it all up in lettuce or nori sheets (the stuff used for sushi). Another thing to purchase at an asian grocery store. It adds an interesting depth to all the flavors.
Other somewhat common easy lunch things I do:
Pouched salmon or tuna, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Hard boiled eggs, already cooked sausages, and sweet potatoes*.
Previously frozen, then thawed single serving of soup.
*How I cook sweet potatoes at work: I have a "potato bag" (it's kind of a fleecey-lined fabric sack). It works really well for sweet potatoes, yams, and pieces of winter squash. Take a few paper towels, get them a little damp, wrap the sweet potato, put in the bag. Hit the potato button on the microwave. You might have to run it through two cycles. Yummm.
