Big changes are happening at Food52, so these old dogs have to learn a few new tricks.

As a defiant response to Sad Desk Lunches, the Food52 team works to keep our midday meals both interesting and pretty -- even if they're eaten while our eyes are on the screen. Each week, we'll be sharing our happiest desk lunches -- and we want to see yours, too.

Today, Kristen relies on office pantry staples to turn two simple ingredients into an elegant, satisfying lunch.

8 of our favorite office supplies, because grown-ups should enjoy back-to-school season too.

Watch Amanda speak about her introduction to the food world, the evolution of the industry, and answer some questions from listeners at home in The Levo League Office Hours.

Yesterday's Office Hours with Melissa Clark was a great time -- questions poured in for Melissa from the Hotline and Twitter alike on a wide variety of topics. We've collected some of the best Q&As -- click through to see what you missed!

Calling all Hotliners!

We're proud to announce a new feature on the Hotline next week: Office Hours, in which our favorite cookbook authors, chefs and producers will be on the line to help with your questions about cooking in real time.

Kicking off Office Hours is Melissa Clark, award-winning New York Times food columnist and author of over 30 cookbooks including The Piglet 2011 contender Cook This Now.

You might try asking Melissa for the best variations on her famous crunchy kugel, or get advice on which herbs to add to her genius duck confit. She'll do her best to answer your burning cooking questions!

Here are the details:

• Melissa Clark will be answering questions on Thursday, March 29 from 3-4pm EST from the Hotline, Twitter, and our FOOD52 Hotline iPhone app (download it free here).
• On the Hotline & Hotline app, be sure to include #askmelissaclark in the Title of your question.
• On Twitter, be sure to include #askmelissaclark and @food52hotline in your question so we can find your tweet!

See you on the Hotline!

It's finally lunchtime here in the office and we're ready to dig in. I have a slice of the pumpernickel loaf I baked yesterday (I snuck a bite before the photo was taken) plus a salad of black and white beans, diced carrots, kale stems, and radishes. Our associate editor Kristy has a kale salad with avocado and kabocha sqash, and a sandwich of porchetta and whole-grain mustard.

What's in your lunchbox?
