What’s in Our Lunch Boxes

A peek inside the lunchboxes of the NoVA Magazine staff.

What one brings to lunch at the office can say a lot about a person. The foodie’s always bring some “trending grain” or organic piece of fruit. The more practical crowd brings in leftovers or a cup of yogurt.

Then there is always the dreaded feeling of lunch envy. “Why can’t I make salad look that good in a Tupperware container?” or “What smell’s so good? I wish I had brought baked mac-and-cheese.

All of that aside, lunchtime is that moment of freedom to do and eat what you want and to express a part of your personality through your food. From a ham and cheese sandwich to truffle ravioli, the staff and interns at Northern Virginia Magazine opened their lunch boxes to show readers what they like to eat.
