I have the same problem. My fiance works all day and I stay home and work. I usually just make myself a big salad or cook some pasta and stir some salmon and vegies in it.

I cook for two (for dinner) and only for myself (for lunch). I'll give a twist to my leftovers like if I have beef stew with rice for dinner, then I have beef stew with garlic bread for lunch the next day.
For stuff that I need to prepare something from scratch, I may do the following:
- Sardine sandwich (sardine, mixed with onions and lime)
- Instant noodles (add fishballs, minced meat, vegetables)
- Luncheon meat with bread
- I have pot stickers too (with light soy sauce and minced ginger as the dip)
- pasta mixed with leftover chicken and pasta sauce.

I would do:
Grilled cheese sandwich
Hot dogs
Soup
Leftovers
I can't say much, 'cause I often take advantage of the frozen meals! I know it's not as good for you but I just never have much time for lunches.

Thanks for all the great ideas. I am always standing in the kitchen at lunch time, wondering what to fix.

I like the big bags of frozen ravioli or tortellini you can get. That way, you can make as much as you want. Pour some pasta sauce in ice cube trays and freeze them. After they are frozen, keep them in a freezer bag. This way you can also just get out as much pasta sauce as you need.
