Wow, you just about ruled
Wow, you just about ruled everything out. LOL, I am just kidding. I like the lean cusine meals, the turkey one is not bad. I can not help you with the soup although Panera Bread has really good french onion soup.
There are sooo many yummy
There are sooo many yummy Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, etc. frozen individual meals to eat! Plus, what's up with re-heating already-cooked meat in a micro?? Have done it for years, and no problem, just don't over do it and have it turn into rubber.
What about soups, chili, etc.? Take them in a microwave-safe bowl, and voila - hot, nourishing meal.
Loaded baked potato-get a
Loaded baked potato-get a Pampered Chef micro cooker and these come out nicely in about 5 minutes. Sargento makes a cheese blend that already has bacon bits in it so you are ready to go!
Soup? Healthy Choice makes some decent soups too.
Louis Rich, Tyson and Oscar Mayer make those cooked meat strips. You can add those to a salad. They are precooked and pretty tasty.
Chips & Salsa-we like to make a meal of this now and then. I buy garden salsa to make it feel a little healthier.
Heat & Serve Meals-have you tried the meat dishes by Tyson, Bob Evans or Hormel? I really like the pot roast, plus Bob Evans mashed potatoes are not bad for the convenience & price. They aren't as overloaded with sodium as frozen meals due to the way they are packed.

Thanks to all of you who replied. I really appreciate your ideas. I never thought about a baked potato. I like that idea. I just need to get some of these meals that I can grab and go.
Thanks again!

I return to work on Monday, and I need some new ideas for quick lunches. I absolutely detest making my lunch and have been bad about making it. I've been eating salads from my school's cafeteria, but I'm sick of them. By the time I drop my students off and sit down to eat, I have 25 minutes. So, there's not a ton of time to go out. I actually can get a few places and make it back. But, that means I have to eat in like 10 minutes, which is not fun. Plus, it's not healthy. I've been eating turkey sandwiches for years, and I'm sick of those too. Sometimes I bring leftovers, but I'm weird about reheating meat in the microwave. You probably really want to give me suggestions, right? LOL
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can make/buy? Are there any frozen meals that are good? I've thought about sushi, but I haven't been crazy about the kind you can buy at the grocery store. I haven't brought hummus and pita bread in a long time, but I might try that again. I like soup, but I need suggestions on kinds that are good. I will admit to being slightly on the picky side.
I'm open to other ideas for sandwiches.
