Any help would be great. Thanks!

I like to make jarred salads for lunches throughout the week. I use big mason jars because I can put everything in them on Sunday, and they're still fresh at the end of the week, you just have to lair it properly. I find with tupperware everything wilts. I pack salads with tons of greens, and either feta cheese or some kind of protein because if I just eat vegetables at lunch I'm out of energy around 2:00 in the afternoon.
Curries are awesome and a really good few substitutes for meat I like to use in them are potato, lentils and cauliflower. I'm not fully vegetarian, but I do substitute meat quite often. Another interesting thing to try that I just discovered in the last year is Yves Veggie Ground Round. I was hugely skeptical about trying it, but it was actually really good and was a terrific substitute for ground beef. They sell it in the produce section. Give it a try if you're feeling brave. I still haven't been able to develop a taste for tofu yet, but I'm working on it.
Good luck!
