What are good recipes I can make for my bf to bring to work as a construction worker?

The idea of vegetable-heavy quiches sounds very good.
Also reminds me of hand pies (traditional Cornish pasty with meat and veg, or a variety of more modern savory and sweet fillings).

That's a great idea!

My boyfriend and I have started making super vegetable-heavy quiches twice a week (one on Sunday and then one on Tuesday/Wednesday is enough to last the two of us!) with our leftover vegetables—it's really hearty, and packed with a yogurt or small salad is really filling and perfect! Plus it only takes about 45 minutes to make one! I admittedly keep store-bought crusts in my freezer for the times I'm in too much of a rush to make my own and use this recipe as my base: https://food52.com/recipes/30167-tomato-kale-quiche-in-cheesy-rice-crust

I'm often at construction sites for work, and see lots of thermoses with soup, stew, etc. - especially if working outdoors during the cold months. (Also, somewhat related - homemade baked goods for the team at break time = instant popularity.)

I heartily recommend the wrap for lunch. I do this for my husband who is out and about all day and often eating one-handed. They can be as healthy as you like and are a great way of using up leftovers from last night's dinner. One of his favorite is left over pork tenderloin with green beans, goat cheese and blackberry serano jam - basically his favorite dinner turned into lunch. I'll throw in left-over salad for greens. Also, hummus and tapenade and guacamole (not at the same time necessarily) are good subs for mayo and can make a standard lunch meat and cheese filling more interesting. A little sandwich sprinkle from Penzey's can also help jazz it up a bit.

Anything that can be enjoyed room temperature (like these: https://food52.com/blog/13934-8-lunches-that-taste-better-at-room-temperature), so he doesn't have to depend on refrigeration at the construction site!

i find that i can get a lot of prep work done for big grain salads over the weekend. and they don't need to be refrigerated, which is a big plus! https://food52.com/blog/13758-how-to-make-any-grain-salad-in-4-steps
