Scrumptious September 2013 - Take Your Lunch To Work Thread

Hi Tiglath, I'm just wondering if there is something on the low carbs thread or a low carb recipe on the net. They seem to make quite a few things with ground almonds as a substitute for flour.
There is a recipe on the net for pancakes made with egg, cream cheese and vanilla essence, here's a link

Failing that what about making some vegetable pattie type things bound together with egg?Karma - the consequences of ones acts."It's OK to falter otherwise how will you know what success feels like?"1 debt v 100 days £20000 -

DAY 3 ... Brought a packed lunch.
So proud of myself, really. Have not spend a single dime for the last 2 days - on anything at work.
This time I went into the cupboard and searched for the Xmas gift I received, a BODUM tea glass together with the tea. It's going to be very useful... No more cappuccinos and croissants - plus able to avoid buying coffees for colleagues. Will be doing it until I can afford to buy'em coffee.

Bringing lunch to work could be a small thing but I realize now that it is bigger than I could think of. I am saving myself €10 each day. I have been spending money which I don't have....whew!

You're very welcome Trixie and I'm glad you are seeing the benefits
WTBSE so please tell what you had in your sarnies today
I've had lunch at home as it's a non-working day for me :jKarma - the consequences of ones acts."It's OK to falter otherwise how will you know what success feels like?"1 debt v 100 days £20000 -
Haha, i had a falafel and salad sarnie. I made some falafel, then wait until they cool down, and crumble into a sandwich with salad and a dollop of mayo.
It's to die for!
Also had a go ahead bar.0 -
