Morning all!

Thank you for the many delicious sounding suggestions, I will definitely be trying some of them out.

Day 1 of the challenge and I have the following for lunch:

Leftover roast chicken with sage and onion stuffing, broad beans and carrots. Pasta salad dressed with olive oil, black pepper and parmesan.

mmm, I'm looking forward to it! :rotfl:

mmmmm - your lunch sounds lovely, might try the pasta salad sometime....
Did you enjoy your first day of home-made lunches? What's on the menu for tomorrow?

Yes I really did enjoy yesterday's lunch, it was yummy!

On the menu for today is home made celeriac and stilton soup with home made wholemeal bread. Blueberries and strawberries for pudding.

I managed to find a bread recipe that is really quick and requires no kneading and the bread is lovely, although I think I need bigger loaf tins as it escaped a bit at the top!

Bon apetit all!

Im into sprouted seeds and beans at the moment and these pep up simple sandwiches and salads. My fave salad at the moment is a selection of sprouts with cubes of feta and a couple of olives. Also, on the subject of sandwich bags, I got concerned about "plastic wrappings" for foodstuffs a while ago (especially for the kids sandwiches) so I bought a huge pile of paper sandwich bags from Makro and these have lasted forever!!!! They work out really cheap are are a bit more environmentally friendly than the old plastic ones.

hi
I can t eat wheat and I came across this recipe for packed lunches that arent sandwiches : in a plastic box put:
some whole wheat pasta or rice
some cooked beans
something green - veg or salad
some protein - cheese, ham, cooked chicken, tuna, etc.

add dressing - fantastic - and you can add anything else you fancy of course.

My favourite lunch which I take to work nearly every day is a sachet of flavoured couscous with a boiled egg on top, I started doing it when I was on slimming world and like it so much I still have it now! Even nicer with a pot of McDs bbq sauce mixed in.

Well I did try and post yesterday but it doesn't seem to have come up, I was having computer problems at the time. :rolleyes:

Yesterday was a day off from the challenge as work took us out for lunch and very nice it was too!

Today I have the last of the celeriac and stilton soup with HM bread followed by blueberries and strawberries.

Watch this space next week as I have bought myself a bento book and am planning on turning Japanese at lunchtime for at least part of the week!

Have a lovely weekend all.:D

My lunch today is a baked potato. I bake a pack of them at a time in the oven (as I prefer them that way). Then freeze them and just defrost overnight and take to work with a pot of something (tuna sweetcorn today but monday's was beans)
