Packed Lunch for work

jackyann

I don't have a flapjack recipe to hand - but bbc food will have one. Also, am not at home, so can't see flask brand, but I'm sure any will do, just look for wide mouth.
Like the sausage pie idea!

Pasta salad made with mayo, a small tin of sweetcorn kernels, finely chopped red or yellow pepper, salt and pepper and some diced ham or cooked chicken or tuna.

Cheese scones or cheese muffins.

A few cooked sausages on breadrolls.

Homemade scotch eggs and salad.

Hi all, apologies if this isn't in the right place. I'm looking for lunch/breakfast ideas for my husband when he is at work. He works twelve hour days as a window fitter so needs lots of fuel as its obviously a very manual job. Currently I make him a couple of sandwiches but he normally eats those during the morning as he doesn't have breakfast at home (he'd prefer the extra time in bed). I'm wondering what I could make him on a budget to eat around lunch time. He normally buys a meal deal from the supermarket or fish and chips so it would probably save us about £4/5 a day. He had no facilities to heat anything up.

Thanks

I've added your thread to our main packed lunch thread where you should find lots of ideas.

Hi guys...im just looking for some ideas for lunches I can bring to work. Im getting bored of sandwiches now and am just looking for some things that maye i can make a big batch of and freeze so that it will do me for a few days. Maybe pasta recipes or rice dishes etc, or even soups. Im not much of a cook really so something easy! i also have access to a fridge, microwave and toaster in work. Thanks in advance :-D

Apologies if there is a similar thread but I couldn't see one.

I do a weekly food shop and plan every meal in advance like a good little MSEer. However my OH keeps wanting new and interesting lunches, which is taxing... He has a cholesterol issue so we have be mindful of that

Some of the recent lunches have been

Bagels with low fat cream cheese and smoked salmon
cous cous with med veg (not popular!)
Sliced Turkey sandwiches + cucumber
Bagels with houmous
Bagels with mushroom pate

Could anyone give me some more ideas, some low carb ones would be great.

I try to go easy on the bread so ideas would be:

HM soups
stir-fry (easy to put together by foraging in the fridge)
jacket potato with various fillings
bubble & squeak (I deliberately cook extra veg) with some cold meat

To be honest, I rarely cook lunch for my DH. We always have breakfast and supper together but at lunchtime we generally fix ourselves something whenever we're feeling hungry. He tends to fall back on a sandwich or something on toast. I just make sure plenty of cold meat, bread etc is available and let him get on with it.
