Don’t underestimate toasts. It may sound bland, but you have to see further than peanut butter and jelly.

I like toast for lunch because it takes under 10 minutes to make, you can top it with any satisfying combination of handy ingredients, and it will fill you up. Choose your flavors; anything you have in mind will probably work if you don`t over do it. Here I went with garlicky chards, oyster mushrooms, and parmesan. You could substitute the chard for spinach and the oyster for a different mushroom.
I can’t wait until this summer. Then I can make this with chanterelles…
