I had the same thought earlier when i was trying to decide what to have in my sandwiches tomorrow, i'm about to make mini quiches using my yorkshire pudding tin, i'll make a small salad to go with it.

Hello there

Hello daisy

I do have a microwave at work, but some people are far to lazy, it requires cleaning before use, and I refuse to keep cleaning it :mad:

how about -
salad boxes (i use containers from left over takeways) you can have lettuce, beetroot, coleslaw, pot salad (pots mayo spring onion red onion) picked onions, cucumber, carrot, peppers add some prawns, chicken, tuna, cheese etc

Hello Sleeping

That sounds like a good idea, I may well try that.

Food flasks are good too. You might like to experiment with a few things while you're at home (in case when you open it the first time it's rank).

Hi PN

Thanks for your suggestions, I do use a food flask during the winter months, although now I'm back on sandwiches, they do become boring after a while tho.

Heya!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I get sick of taking sarnies

I take soup, or anything you have had the night before with can be nuked (brave the microwave!!)

If not, then why not just spice up your sarnies?

Fajitas, Pittas, Submarine Rolls, French Sticks

A lad I work with recommended to me, salad... lettuce, cucumber, cherry toms and so on, then cook some Chicken Supernoodles the night before and pop them in!

Sounds gross as hell, but trust me, with some mayo its lush!!

Hello Jackie

That sounds a brilliant idea, if only I knew how to make them, oh, and is pastry fattening, as I'm trying to lose weight?

Started taking sausage rolls/pasties to work with me for the last few days but have gone back to the humble sandwich, asda had some large tubs of sandwich fillings for £1 so got egg mayo and chicken sweetcorn.

Is there any late night takeaways that do deliveries? A hot curry in the middle of the night is great or do your own and put it into a food flask.

to make 4 yorkshire pudding sized quiches i used -

2 eggs, then enough milk to fill to 1/2 pint
salt and pepper
whatever else you may have laying around lol, i had a wee bit of cheese and a few cherry toms.

pastry wise i found 2 oz of marg, and 4 oz of flour was enough.

i made double thatamount of pastry, so cooking along with the quiches is a bakewell tart:D .

Calorie wise i don't have a clue 10past6 (sorry i don't know your name). I cant imagine it's many more than a sandwich though , maybe roll the pastry extra thin hehe.

May I suggest Slimming World quiche?

The quickest and easiest is a made up packet of Batchelor's Pasta 'n' Sauce, whisk in 3 large eggs. Pour into a flan dish, pop into oven Gas 6 for about 30-40 mins.

It sets into a crustless quiche which is tasty, filling and slimming too
