I have asked before... I am now asking again... mumsnetters, what are you having for lunch?

I had white rice with curried lentils, spicy cabbage, and chutney. I wish I had some sweet treats in but I don't so will probably eat a spoon of jam.

I had carrot and coriander soup with an ancient grain seeded roll and butter, a small piece of Caerphilly cheese, followed by blueberries and raspberries with Greek yogurt and sprinkling of mixed seeds.

Same as every luchtime when kids (teens) are on summer hols; ploughman's, both kids very fussy, so I can tweak each plate, it's easy, it's light, it's balanced nutritionally and healthy and both kids will actually eat something before disappearing out the house again, it's also the most cost effective lunch I can provide to ensure maximum eating and least wasteageGrin

Leftover roast chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red cabbage thinly sliced and lettuce with some seeds sprinkled over, dressed with chopped gherkins, olives oil and balsamic vinegar. It's lovely. I'll have a couple of snickers dates after (dates filled with peanut butter and topped with melted dark choc, put in freezer).

EverythingHurtsAndImHungry · 06/08/2024 13:47

Leftover onion and chilli pasta, with half a small tin of leftover sweetcorn on top. Apple for pudding.

Part baked baguette with enough sainsburys chicken liver pate to leave teeth marks 🤣 .Every time i have it i think of the poster who had pate as a “ centrepiece meal” and couldn't understand why a tiny packet shouldn’t last for at least two meals !

A large slice of granary toast with some tinned mackerel, salad leaves, and cherry tomatoes on and a cut up apple with a spoon of peanut butter on the side for pud.

Bluevelvetsofa · 06/08/2024 13:16

Cherries, nectarine, grapes and raspberries with Greek yoghurt, a drizzle of honey and flaked almonds. Was going to add an apple, but it felt a bit overkill.
