Fancy Lunchables

I eat these during the work day generally.
It doesn't need to be heated up.
Perfect to pack if you're going somewhere.

Sometimes I don't have the energy to cook.
Sometimes it's too hot to cook.
Sometimes I want to eat straight out the fridge.

Here are my favorite combinations <3

Prosciutto and Brie

Inspired by all the memorable sandwiches I had in Italy on that pizza bianca bread.

Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese

Inspired by chicken wings I routinely order at a bar.
