What's in your lunchbox ?

Lunch today was two reduced price small pitas (8 for 65p) stuffed to the brim with an Aldi bistro salad and one slice in each of roast chicken.  About £1.45.

I prep my lunches for the week so it's easier to just grab something between calls / meetings.  This week I've got some reduced salmon fillets, with cottage cheese and then cucumber kimchi on the side plus satsumas if I want something sweet / an afternoon snack.  Loving the ideas from this thread though!

A bowl of homemade leek, potato and white bean soup with a thick slice of homemade bread. Both leftovers from yesterday.

The occasional Friday in the office warrants a bacon bap!! Cost of £2.45 from the canteen. Was more filling than my normal breakfast so just a banana for lunch, followed by a mud-afternoon hot cross bun - not the healthiest of days!

LO pizza with salad and coleslaw

It's a mite cold today and I really wanted something comforting (plus I'm running low on fresh things as I'm trying not to spend any money at all in Feb), so I made a lazy 'Boston baked beans' style lunch.  

A 500g pack of cooking bacon baked in my Remoska in a small casserole dish, broken up but in a few lumps. When it's a little 'overcooked' (a few dark bits and crunchy in places and most of the water from the bacon evaporated. About half an hour), stir in a tin of beans and a tin of chopped tomatoes, plus about half a jar of onion relish (to replace the molasses in the original recipe). Let it heat through and thicken for about another 10 mins. 

I had it with a slice of toast from my freezer loaf, and have a good two portions remaining. I'm thinking with mash or a baked potato - not something to eat every day! but nice on a day like today.

Sounds lovely @ArbitraryRandom. Better than my plain old beans on toast anyway!

I’m only working Monday and Tuesday this week, so I have prepped a chicken noodle soup in the pressure cooker. It’s very simple - onion, carrot, chicken, parsley, bay leaf and stock. I was going to add sweetcorn but I forgot, doh. With a slice of bread, I can’t see it being more than £1 per portion, and it will have mountains more chicken in than a shop bought soup.

I’ve made my lunches for my two office days this afternoon. Pouch of whole grains and quinoa with cumin and chilli roasted carrots, feta and walnuts, olive oil/lemon juice dressing. Less than £1 a serving I would guess.
