Cheap, simple and quick lunches without bread or leftovers

[Skang]

Anyone have any ideas?

I would rather not cook for the freezer either.

Omelettes?

[ilovepowerhoop]

baked potato with beans/cheese/coleslaw

[CMOTDibbler]

Rice noodles with sweet chilli sauce and cooked chicken or tuna

[AndMiffyWentToSleep]

Noodle soup

[DottyDot]

Poached eggs with any ham and tomatoes you've got in!

YY omelette would be good with a side salad.

Couscous with tinned mackerel or sardines and salad.

Pasta pesto with chopped fresh tomatoes.

Cartons of soup (some on offer at c £1 last time I shopped)

Is Ryvita allowed? That's nice topped with low fat cream cheese and cucumber/tomato/spring onion; or with mashed avocado, tomato and either cream cheese or maybe mozarella.

Have a google for Bill Granger. He does very simple recipes that are also very tasty.

You mentioned no bread, does that mean no starchy carbs like pasta too?
If not, think stuff like pasta with olive oil, garlic and baby tomatoes, or pasta with pesto.
Or, Turkey mince (cheap and low fat) with tbls dark soy sauce, tbls fish sauce, chili and garlic. Throw in fine beans when meat cooked, (Cook garlic & chili for 30 secs then add turkey mince, takes about 5 minutes to cook, add soy and fish sauce, and tsp sugar, add fine green beans, finish with a hand ful of basil.) Its yum and cooks in about 10 mins over all.

Leek and potato soup? takes about 20mins to cook, and is v cheap.

You can also make a v quick pea soup by simmering frozen peas in stock until tender, then blitz with a stick blender. Serve with some parmesan grated over the top. (It is of course nicer with bread )

If you don't feel like cooking but don't mind slicing and want to do 'healthy' I like half an avo, finely cut shallot, also endive or lettuce with some alfalfa or parsley and chopped walnuts sprinkled on top with lemon and olive oil or walnut oil dressing. I have that with just ryvitas or tinned mackerel or tuna etc. also with same dressing.

A lovely idea if you like onions or shallots with yr. salad but find them to 'strong' is to cut them finely then soak them in fresh lemon juice in a container in the fridge; it 'calms' their strength and also they're ready to use if you're in a rush!
