Lunch Recipes

Midday Meals That Hit the Spot 🥪🍤

Lunch might be tucked into a busy day — between errands, school pickups, or a quiet moment before the afternoon rush — but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

In this Lunch section, you’ll find recipes that bring big flavor without the fuss. From quick favorites like the Knob Sandwich and Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps to cozy casseroles like Mamaw’s Chicken and Rice and the ultra-comforting Cracked Out Chicken Tater Tot Casserole, every dish is built to satisfy.

Craving something bold? Dig into Birria Bombs, Beef & Pepper Rice Bowls, or the Bold Louisiana Rub Wingstop Wings. Looking for something coastal? You’ll love the Speckled Trout, Louisiana Crab Cakes, or Shrimp and Mirliton Casserole, all steeped in Southern seafood tradition.

There are homestyle stews for chilly days (Shrimp Stew, Busy Day Soup, Santa Fe Soup), and crowd-pleasers like the Iowa Party Bites and Duggar Tater Tot Casserole for when you’re feeding more than just yourself.

Lunch doesn’t have to be rushed or forgettable. Here, it’s a chance to pause, savor, and maybe even share a bite or two with someone you love.

So whether you're reheating leftovers or building something fresh from scratch, there's always something good waiting on this page — and always room at the table.
