Lunch

Transform leftover chicken and beef into a delicious, quick Asian noodle stir-fry with fresh vegetables and a rich sauce. A budget-friendly lunch idea.

A new ezCater report shows 54% of US full-time workers skipped lunch weekly in 2026 due to inflation and rising living costs, cutting average weekly spending by 8% to $100.23.

Open, fill, add flavors and devour: a meal in a pita is one of the most Israeli and most satisfying lunches there is, and it's not reserved only for street food stalls. Here are some particularly delicious recipes that will turn a pita (or lafa, or baguette) into a complete meal that will make any hungry person happy.

One recipe for meatballs with peas in red sauce, for those who miss daycare lunches, one for fried chicken meatballs with a different and cool twist, one for oven-baked meatballs (but what oven-baked meatballs), and one for vegetarian lentil meatballs. What will make your family happiest?

How do you prefer your chicken thighs — in a pan on a bed of freekeh, in the oven with sweet potatoes, roasted in a basic soy and honey sauce, or with shawarma flavors in one tray with quick mujadara? All the recipes are here, you just have to choose (and devour).
