I always ate hot lunch as a kid...tried packing my own cold lunches for a while to fit in with the "cool kids" but it never worked. Besides, since my folks gave me lunch money it meant I could buy all the candy and soda I wanted at the school store (that didn't last past 7th grade).
Leftovers make a great lunch if you've got the containers--I like cold macaroni and cheese, cold pizza, cold lasagna, cold tuna fish casserole. Cut-up veggies with a little something to dip in is always good too. Fancy sandwiches always make the grade: flavored cream cheese on the bread, lots of veggies, maybe some good-quality turkey breast, roast beef, or whatever. Garden vegetable cream cheese on whole wheat bread with sprouts, tomato, and thinly sliced roast beef is delicious. Dried fruits are a favorite snack of mine, especially since they stand up to brown-bagging it. Nuts are also always delicious.
