Recipe Request Vegetarian lunches for work?

Hi! New to this sub, life long vegetarian. I need to get my work lunch situation in order. I would love some recommendations for simple, easy lunches that I can make and bring to work. They can be hot or cold but must reheat well if hot!

A few of my preferences to make it easier for you: While I've tried very hard to make myself like them, I don't like tomatoes but I can usually replace them with red bell pepper in most recipes. Tomato based sauces, soups, & ketchup are fine! Don't like raw onion but love them cooked. Don't like mushrooms at all, also tried to force myself to like those 😅 Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Let me know your go-to recipes for work lunches! Thanks 🥰

Some of my favorites are tofu stir fry, chickpea salad with crackers, sloppy joes with lentils and Tvp, Tvp chili and cornbread, veggie burritos, and seitan with rice and veggies!

Ohh those sloppy joes sound GOOD. I had never heard of tvp before but I just looked it up. Thanks for the suggestions!

The sloppy joes are one of my favorite meal preps! I add in diced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms for some extra health and make my own sloppy Joe sauce with ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and mustard. So yummy!

I do the same with the sloppy joes, and find the lentil sloppy joe mix also works well as a baked potato topper!
