what do you eat for lunch?

We take packed lucnhes during the week which everyone is happy with but I get stumped for easy, quick, cheap ideas for lunch at the weekends.

Hubby always says bacon butties or sausage sarnies when I ask and I am so bored with these - and they aren't either healthy or cheap.

weekend lunches slow us down...we try and have something quick to fuel up on or munch in the garden. This time of year we love gazpacho kept in the fridge and poured in to glasses to slurp while we weed. DH does often add a sandwich to his lunch....or bread and cheese. Or just cheese! Slower days a salad (or left over salad from the night before padded out quickly).

For packed lunches, I normally make

Bread roll/ sandwich (whoopsied bread) with either peanut butter, homous, homemade lentil pât!, salad etc
Couscous/quinoa with random salad bits from the fridge like tomatoes, radishes, spring onion, sunflower seeds, nuts etc.
Left over soup, pasta bolognese, chilli etc
Couple of pieces of fruit and cheap pack of crisps from HB.
Veg sushi... I got a bumper pack of nori sheets cheap at HB, use value rice (it's sticky enough) and juliennned carrot sticks.

Lunches at home we have homemade soup & roll, pasta and veg in a tomatoey sauce, risotto, jacket potato & beans, salad, that kind of thing.

The past couple of days my lunch has been a bowl of black beans, sweetcorn, diced avocado, plus a couple of cut up sundried tomatoes and a pinch of salt, with a little of the oil from the sundried tomatoes drizzled on top. Super tasty, healthy and cheap, especially if you cook dry beans from scratch rather than using tinned.

we usually have beans on toast, sausage rolls or sandwichs on a sat or we will have a fry about half 11 then give the kids something light around 3, sun lunch is a roast, then usually sandwichs,pizza or pasta for tea

at the moment i have slimfast and fruit and a yogurt for lunch.
At weekends I have a ham sandwich and fruit, and on Sunday its a ploughmans type lunch or cheese on toast and an apple.

We usually have bacon sandwiches too but hot dogs have been BOGOF quite a lot lately (spicy frankfurters in the fridge at the moment!) which make a nice change. Not healthy and not Old Style but with fried onions, ketchup and mustard it feels like being at the funfair!

I am sooooo boring but I like a nice cheese sandwich with HM onion chutney Sometimes I alternate it with crackers instead of bread :rotfl:

Having a young DD to chase around at lunchtime I prefer something quick and easy to prepare.

we tend to have a cooked breakfast about 10 ish and then this lasts us through until an early dinner.

you could try plated salads, ie the basic l/t/c with added sliced eggs, pickles salami etc (all the things too smelly to take to work!)
