Love My Philly

We all know how hard it can be to eat a good wholesome
lunch. In today’s fast-paced world it’s easier to grab something from a
drive-thru or skip lunch altogether. Beat your mid-day meal woes with these
quick and easy lunch ideas that will keep your tummy full while on the go.

1. Creamy corn and Turkey Soup:

Make this creamy soup the night before and set in your
refrigerator for the next day’s lunch. (It will last up to 48 hours in the
fridge). It’s easy to transport and reheat, and tastes delicious the next day.
Pour it into a thermos so you can eat lunch anytime, or anywhere. If you’re
watching your weight, try making it with the Philadelphia Neufchatel 1/3 Less
Fat than Cream Cheese.

2. BLT Pasta:

Bacon and Pasta are foods that are hard to say no
to. Try combining these two greats and mix it up with a Creamy Philadelphia
Cream Cheese sauce for a truly irresistible mid day meal. Throw in some fresh
grape tomatoes and pine nuts for a nice crunch.

3. Peachy-Keen
Sandwiches:

Try this interesting take on a peanut
butter and jelly style sandwich. Instead of peanut butter use your favorite
flavor of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and spread on one side of a piece of honey
wheat bread. Spread your favorite jam on another slice, and top with fresh
thinly slices peaches. It’s a refreshing and satisfying lunch that adults and
kids will enjoy.

4. Turkey Cheese Pockets:

These are the perfect solution to the person who eats their
lunch on the go. Make these a day or two ahead and pop in your
fridge or freezer. Pop one in the oven or microwave in the morning for
minutes and then wrap it up in foil for a lunch good on the go. The creamy Philadelphia cheese sauce
will make your mouth water for more, so pack more than one!

5. Veggie Pita Pizza:

This is a great way to use those fresh vegetables you found
at the farmers market over the weekend. Take a whole wheat pita and spread with
Philadelphia Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. Then slice up your favorite
veggies on top and voila, you’ve made a fresh and healthy lunch. You could mix
it up with seasonal vegetables, or try it with a sweeter version of your
favorite Philly spread and some fresh fruit!
