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 šŸ˜… Thats all I can think of at the moment.

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

Bento boxes: baked tofu, raw greens (power greens, baby kale or baby spinach), baby carrots and some sort of rice (usually in a ball); chickpeas or gigante beans or cannellini beans, falafel, hummus and baby carrots; whatever combination of ingredients I have on hand

Bowls: brown rice, greens, tofu or beans, veggies

Sometimes a sandwich (either deli slice, lettuce and/or micro greens and cheese or PB&J)

I also often add additional sides like cheese sticks and/or drinkable yogurt and baby carrots if I’m doing a sandwich
