A friend also said it was easier to just not be bothered about bread. She used rice crackers instead. I was kinda hoping for bread.

If it's cold weather, soup, stew, or chili happens a lot too.

At home where it's easier to cook, lunch is usually leftovers or a pared-down dinner (steamed veggies and a simple piece of meat, something that cooks quickly like chicken breast tenderloins or pork chops).

If you're wheat-free, bread is just really hard to get right. I have a friend with celiac disease who tried all sorts of different gluten-free breads and was disappointed with every one. Pasta wasn't so difficult to find, but bread was a no-go. We don't eat any grain at all, so it's simply not a question.

Hope this helps!
