Tacos!!

[@Aneedanothaone]

Thai yellow curry

[@Star-333]

Eggplant Parmesan or eggplant rolatini, Indian food - vegetable korma for the Main dish, Mexican food - bean based dish such as enchiladas or I get fajitas with guacamole of course, American-I’ll just get like veggie subs or a veggie burger if it’s a sit down place unless they have a unique option then I’ll get that. For chinese, I’ll get vegetable dumplings steamed as my go to …. There are so many vegetarian options out there :) Also, food network has a Mediterranean pasta salad I make all summer long and they also have a black bean salad that I also make all summer long ;)

My go to lunch right now is green and purple cabbage, shredded carrots, green onions, and two peeled mandarin oranges with a dressing of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. I usually top it with chicken.

Love this!🫶 My go-to lunch lately has been a southwestern style skillet: frozen sliced bell peppers, frozen corn, black beans, fresh garlic, sometimes I'll throw in some tomato too, if I feel like cutting one up, taco seasoning - heat it all up in a frying pan. Mash up an avocado with some lemon or lime juice, salt & pepper. Put veggie/black bean mixture on plate then top with mashed avocado! Amazing!🤤Sometimes I'll eat this as a burrito as well if I'm extra hungry and want the fuel from the wrap👍

Mmmm, Greek salads are my favorite. I don't know how authentic it is, but some of my other favorite toppings are peperoncini and pickled beets. The perfect lunch for a hot day!

[@heeeeyjai]

I work from home and was craving a Sloppy Joe style sandwich. Made a large batch of lentils and seasoned them accordingly. They were delicious! Even better to use the leftovers in a flour tortilla folded over into a square. These are perfect to freeze for later and can be baked or heated up in a microwave. Hope someone else tries this! Congratulations on 8 months!🎉

My go to is chickpea salad in a wrap or pita. Recipe from forks over knives

[@debbielauck3131]

I love Asian food - Chinese, Thai or Vietnamese food as well as Indian and Tibetan cuisine.

[@lp7931]

I love Mexican food. Your bowl looks delicious! I've been loving mixed veggie salad with a dressing of tahini, nutritional yeast, white wine vinegar, and saurkraut- always topped with almonds.

[@ponycyndi1]

I'm always in the mood for some California rolls! 😊

[@torih5766]

Aww, look at your amazing baby bump! Been feeling ill and down recently but then I saw your miracle bump and I'm now smiling from ear to ear! (Recipe was great too).

[@Star-333]

I make the forks over knives no tuna chickpea salad for lunch on a weekly basis - highly recommend

[@jami29841]

This looks so yummy 😋 thank you for sharing! I'm new to eating plant based, always looking for new recipes.

[@monikaryzko7784]

I love Polish and Korean/Thai/Japanese food🥰 thank you four your recipes!

[@sammof7939]

from the mrs: really great lunch idea! I'm all about veggies!

[@4444moore]

Peace and blessings to you and baby 🕊

[@beckywebb9597]

Lunch is usually a soup that i make using leftover veggies from the night before. Fave cuisine is chinese 😊

[@katievdbshsh757]

My favorite is mexican!!! Chile reanos, using fresh Chile's. Enchiladas are 2nd on the list plus refried beans, lettuce, Spanish rice. Topped with sour cream & Pico da guio. Yuum!!! God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon

[@MessyPaperCrafter]

We love Cava! So my hubby will make us mediterranean bowls at home to save on cost and so we can eat it multiple days in a row lol For me personally, I’ve been liking veggie patties for lunches. I have some store bought, but prefer my homemade ones, but sometimes you need the convenience. Sometimes just the patty is enough, if not, love to have fruit on the side. I’ve been enjoying small salads with lunch too. Who am I kidding, it’s chopped romaine and dressing 😂 But I’m pretty simple 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@reneepelletier3021]

Yum! I may try this with chickpeas My favorite cuisine ever is Japanese Great video!

when I was working (school bus driver) I would go home after I took the kids to school.(9:30 to 9:45 am I would do laundry and I would eat what ever left overs there we're. about once a month we would (some of the other drivers would go out for lunch different each month. My fav. is Mexican. I grew up with my Dad being a cook on the weekend at a Mexican Rent. and My Mom was a waitress on weekends. Dad was always coming up with new recipes for the Restaurant. But at home My hubby loves chicken! so I cook Chicken a lot of ways. I've had to we will be married 43 yrs in Aug. :) the last few years I been really liking fried rice I add so many veggies.... I love veggies. I cook 3 to 4 times a week I cook we eat then we eat the left overs, Then I cook and the same thing. some times hubby gets on a kick and he'll want the same thing for 3 or 4 dinners. that's when I eat something else. If the pita's are homemade. then $16.00 is a very good price. your paying for there experience knowledge of them turning flour in to something delicious, and there dressings. Sometimes you have to step back and realize you can't put a price tag. you yourself said it didn't taste the same also. and being pregnant and if that's what your craving. then it doesn't matter. when you get closer to due date it could be 2 times a week. 😃

[@SunshineVibezzz]

All time favorite, overall food...Mexican. As a treat Italian. LOVE Greek food as a go to date. Okaaay...I just love food 🤣😋

[@NomadJane]

My go to lunch is a vegetarian sandwich which normally consists of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado and whatever cheese on my homemade whole wheat bread. Obviously you can switch up the veggies to what you have on hand or your preference.

[@Agalloche]

I love greek orzo salad, sweet potato/carrot soup or curry with tons of veggies, tofu and rice. I especially like mexican and indian food !

[@jennismith6302]

You probably know this, but Trader Joe's has a delicious frozen falafel. Not as much protein, and tofu is good with anything. Thai is my favorite but very oily.

[@robinswan5831]

That looks just incredible! I don't really have a favorite kind of food, I love all the foods! My lunches and breakfasts are almost always leftovers or meal prep. I do not want to cook that time of day!

[@dinavegan]

I love your simple meals! My favorite thing when I go out to eat is Mexican food, because I just can’t get enough chips and salsa 😂

[@ruthrelyea7388]

Compared to me teeny tiny bump, love seeing your bump. Great salad, speaking of food I love it all but now since I have diabetes I have to watch my carbs, maybe a low carb low budget meal idea. Love to you all 😘❤️

[@janvan4424]

I love Greek food too 😍 Just wondering why you use Italian dressing instead of Greek dressing?

[@Mel-qd4or]

Love!💖

[@marinabrola]

🙏Thank you!

[@Josephine-x2c]

When are you due❤❤ are you craving salty or sweet? Salty is boy and sweet is for girl at least for me

[@leanneandrysco6812]

My pregnancy craving was the fatoosh salad from the Lebanese place across the street from work. One particularly rough week I think I got it 5 days in a row 🫣. It’s still the best, so fresh!
