Personally I find legumes to be great for packing up healthy lunches. A container of hummus along with some sweet pepper cut up into sticks makes a great snack.

I also make huge batches of "lentil balls" - stewed lentils combined with bulgur and spices to make them taste kind of like samosas, rolled into little balls, and baked. They're tasty, keep a long time, and are portable. Let me know if you want the recipe.

I'd love the recipe. The lentil balls sound really tasty.

Sure! I adapted it from this recipe here: http://www.justhungry.com/2005/06/samosalike_lent.html

I double the spices and add a lot of chili flakes, since I tend to like stronger flavors. I also make a quick mixture of salt, yogurt, and garlic in the food processor for dipping. Mmm.
