Hello blogosphere,
While we love food (and environmental) blogs of all stripes, we have noticed a hole in food-bloggery. We want to read the blog about leftovers … tupperware, quick sandwiches, affordable Greenmarket shopping trips, and freezer soups. After reading NY Mag’s recent impractical guide to bag lunches, we realized that rather than dream about this blog’s potential, we should write it!
What we’re going to do:
We’re going to provide recipes. Maybe not every day, but at least a few times a week. We will provide lunch options for various audiences, various times of year, and various circumstances. Picnics for large groups on hot summer days, rainy lunches to eat behind your desk, granola to munch on, and filling rice bowls to make our paychecks stretch farther. These recipes will be lunch-worthy according to the ten criteria we define on our home page. We are also going to provide recommendations about lunch bags, tupperware, cookbooks etc. Finally, we hope to set up a few Soup Swaps, beginning in the New York area, and then, through a partnership with MeetUp groups, into more distant communities.
How you can contribute:
Send us your favorite lunch recipes! Our “Readers Recipes” section will display them all, and some may be imported (with proper credit, of course) to our “Everyday,” “Sundays,” “Freezable” or “Picnic” sections.
TWEET for us! Use the #packlunch hashtags to mark your tweets as you describe your lunch every day and help us to aggregate a large community of lunchers following our blog.
