Lunch should have its own thread

[Looby]

Had a craving for this gorgeous sandwich I used to get when I was on placement at this fancy cafe.

Sourdough roll, fried mushrooms and onion with mature cheddar.

I had leftover fajita veg so heated that with the mushrooms and cheese in a roll. It was lush.

Two mince pies.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Brown lentil dahl from the freezer with a load spinnich. It's sub optimal getting the spinnich to wilt in the microwave, but it just about works. A pitta bread and store bought sour kraut to go with it.

Not been to thr canteen for lunch yet this year so thags about a 70 quid saving. Although spent £9 on bacon sandwichs in the morning when I've not got it together enough to sort breakfast so need to work on that.

Braised green lentils.

Gala apple and a clementine.

A pile of steamed french beans, dressed with lemon juice, walnut oil and grainy mustard.
Chocolate/peanut butter bar.

Pasta with a tin of mackerel, hot sauce and spinnich. Weighed the pasta, but probably ate to much.

Managed to knock up a chilli in the slow cooker for tonight whilst I was at it.

Squid and chips

 

[kalidarkone]

NHS cafe four cheese pannini- going cheap (£1) cus the little cafe is closed tomorrow. Also bought cakes for the gyals I'm working with in gynae recovery as it's pay day and Friday! ❤

I weigh pasta, then look at the paltry 'recommended serving' of 75g and throw in a load more

I just chuck in what looks like a reasonable amount, then get surprised at how much is swells once cooked. 'oh shit, that's a lot of pasta'

Every. Single. Time. That's why I started weighing it! But I am one perverse bastard

I did an extra 20g for luck. It was enough but less then if I'd have weighed it.

This is what I would have done. And then ate it all anyway.

In one of the pressure cooker cookbooks I've got some recipes say you can do the pasta in it - might give it a go one day, It'll reduce the water bill at any rate.

It's too cold to do very much and it was something to do.

Two kinds of Polish pickled veggies (cucumber, green tomatoes, carrot, pepper, onions), ground flaxseed, tahini.
Calories, but healthy ones.

A small amount of Fitou ...

 

[May Kasahara]

Peanut butter toast, and a tangerine.

 

[sojourner]

Braised green lentils.

Gala apple and a clementine.

This again.

 

[gentlegreen]

Since I got in an extra 3 miles today, I felt I needed refuelling prior to going for the second one in an hour or two...
So more of my jarred salad, milled flaxseed and tahini.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Made a really healthy breakfast of protein powder overnight oats with frozen fruit, chia and flax seed, but let my OH take the remains of last night's tea and ran out of energy to sort my own lunch, so canteen it was.

Chicken stew in a flatbread calling itself Sharwma and chips. I could have a nap now.

 

[sojourner]

Root veg, lentil and wild mushroom stew with some barley done separately and spooned into bowl (which makes it palatable for me).

Plum and a tangerine.

Savoy cabbage and cannellini bean soup, with a parmesan rind in for flavour. Buttered toasted sourdough.

Gala apple.

 

[sojourner]

I noticed one of the xmas cheeses that we hadn't finished had gone completely mouldy so brought the other one into work to finish off for lunch. So old hag cheddar, with buttered toasted sourdough and hot garlic pickle.

Plum and an apple.

 

[friedaweed]

Home made cheese scones with saltbreef and mustard. Straight from the oven.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Glacier fruits, followed by wholegrain rice with hot sauce and chilli oil. Strangely I now feel a bit hot.

 

[cesare]

Sole breaded goujons with left over mushroom and black-eyed bean curry.

Went out for dinner and tea today! Dinner/lunch was a chicken-free Bang Bang salad - leaves, carrot, cucumber, chilli, spring onion, dry roasted peanuts, coriander, sweet chilli satay sauce etc. And a beer

 

[zora]

IKEA veggie hotdog meal (i.e. with fries and small soft drink). Cinnamon bun for afters.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Pasta with a sauce I threw together the other night and a few veggie sausages.

Pasta at lunch probably doesn't help the diet, but at least they were veggie sausages and not cheap frozen meat ones.
