We All Need Perfect Lunch Recipes For Work!
If I can be honest, lunch is what always got me through the first half of the day. I used to get in at 6am with my fatty coffee, and slug through work fantasizing about my lunch 80%of the time. Sure, I wasn’t a great employee, but I was a great lunch packer hehe. I ALWAYS made sure lunch wasn’t something boring because who want’s to look forward to a boring, sad lunch? These sandwiches were definitely in the rotation for exciting, delicious, filling lunches!
Sometimes it’s hard to come up with good ideas, so you came to the right place! A couple of my other favorites were:
- Macro Cakeswith a side of butter, andsyrup!
- Keto Chiliwith heaping side of cheese and sour cream to melt on top!
- Egg Saladwith veggies orpork rindsfor dipping!

Does the haloumi blt need mayo?
Amanda Drew says
I like how you suggest to toast the bread on the same skillet as the bacon. I just moved to a new apartment, and I really want a fancy sandwich. Nothing’s unpacked yet, so I think that I’ll find a sandwich shop with something similar then try your recipe later.

I’m just curious why you didnt take a bite of the bread sandwich? Allergy?

I love your recipes, website and blog. I refer Keto Connect to everyone I meet who is embracing the low carb lifestyle. All three sandwiches look delicious. I have tried many of your recipes and thank you for your commitment to the low carb lifestyle. I loss over 100 pounds quickly in 2017 and have kept it off. I am keto for life. I live in Alaska and we finally have more low carb bread options. I am excited about The Great Low Carb Bread Company located in Hollywood, CA. I purchased the hamburger buns only 2 net carbs. Every hamburger bun recipe that I have tried have produced inconsistent results. I am going to keep trying though. But for $8.99 the cost of the buns I felt I was in heaven. I grilled the bun in a little butter and I thought the texture and taste was on point and only 2 Net Carbs. I haven’t tried the loaf yet but I will soon, no more room in my freezer. There is another bread that I was impressed with too by Oasis Bread in California as well. The net carb count was a little higher but on occasion the bread is healthy. Two types flax and veggie. The company is also very friendly. Both companies. Please consider reviewing the bread if you havent already done so. Thank you so much for everything from Anchorage, AK.
