My OH used to prep onions and peppers on a Sunday, make up 5 wraps on a Sunday night and take one in each day to work.

I'd always thought that this was a good idea but I always presumed that they would spoil and go off if left more than a day or two? Is it really ok to make them for the week?

have really enjoyed reading this thread..i eat lunch at home but would like to make mine in a morning when making the kids lunch for school to save doing it twice.

I think this thread is going to make a huge difference to me - just had 3 small jacket potatoes with cheese and beans, and I feel full - the first time lunch at work has done that in a long time.

Thanks again - going to enjoy going through the rest of the thread looking for more new ideas :beer:

Hi

My OH works shifts and how we plan for it is to make extra portions with our other meals when he is not on shift. It may not be exactly the same meal but for example if we have chilli and rice I would do an extra portion (or 2) of Chilli and freeze them and OH will take to work and do a baked spud and add the chilli to it. He particularly enjoys pack up roast dinners but I will also sometimes use the leftovers from a roast and make into a stew / soup. He hasn't bought any meals for work since he started this job in April so we are very pleased. I will also freeze leftover bolognese / stew / shepherds pie.

Quick ones he will sometimes make at work are baked spuds with beans. Omelette or pasta with a tomato sauce and chopped ham / peperoni. I will also freeze HM Pizzas for him.

packed lunch for me today is leftover crackers from the festive period, each spread with some spicy HM tomato chutney (chopped tomatoes, browned onion and a little chilli powder and black pepper) topped with some grated cheese and put in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Busy munching on quiche, carrots, sprouts and new potatoes at work today - the remains of leftover tea last night. Not good for the diet though!

Hi all.

I am wondering if someone can give me some ideas for packed lunches that i can take into Uni during the week.
There is no access to microwave/kettle etc.

I dont mind sandwiches, but they get a bit boring after a while, so either something different would be nice, or some unusual sandwich fillers.

thanks.

For alternatives to sandwiches how about pitta's, wraps, veggies and hummous, cold pizza, pasta salads, muffins, pancakes. The links Squeaky gave have literally TONS of great idea's that have alternative options for sandwiches.
