packing lunch - help

I need some ideas for lunches to send to work with my husband. He can't keep anything cold. He's getting tired of peanut butter and isn't too thrilled about ramen noodle cups or chef boyardee and such microwaveable things. Any ideas?

I agree with the pp about getting a small cooler bag with some ice packs. 

He has access to a microwave?  You can freeze leftovers and then allow them to thaw until lunchtime and put them in the microwave.

 I usually make my husband leftovers for lunch, occasionally he likes a frozen meal and very rarely well I throw a sandwich in there (he likes corned beef).

i always bring leftovers for work. Once less thing for me to worry about, as long as he has access to a microwave. And i agree he can leave an ice pack in the lunch bag to keep it cool til lunch time

Leftovers in this are amazing.  They have them at Target.  He can plug it in when he gets in first thing and it's ready by lunch.

I agree with the leftovers. They are so much better the next day.
