I've had sandwiches/wraps every day for 2 weeks and I'm starting to go crazy Confused

What can I make that's quick and easy? I don't like eggs. Salad wouldn't fill me up!

What are you all having for lunch?

Today I had beans on toast and we have had a lot more soup recently (too many carrots). How about baked potato? Or you could cook a bit extra the night before and have leftovers?

Veg fritters - I use chickpea flour but you could always use ordinary flour to make the batter . Add whatever bits of veg you have - chopped spring onion, grated carrot, grated courgette, sweetcorn all work well. I add chilli and fresh herbs. Fry dollops in a bit of oil and serve with either a yogurt/lime/herb sauce or tomato salsa or ketchup if that's your thing.

I made a big pot of green lentil and carrot curried soup.

A mug of that with a buttered crumpet is perfection

... for about 3 days.

But mainly I am having some variation of wraps with ham or cheese on toast,.

Oh- and we had leftover salmon roe from christmas so i had that last week on a bagel with cream cheese.

I may have had a shot of vodka as well just to complete the Eastern European flavour to the emal. Delicious.

Coldhandscoldheart · 03/04/2020 22:10

‘Baked’ sweet potato - sweet potato in microwave two minutes each side - seems to help if you punch it when you turn it over. Blob hummus on top. Bit of salad at the side.

You said you don't like eggs but what about Yorkshire pudding? Egg, flour and milk mixed, heat oil in a shallow tin in oven, cook for 20 mins. I have with cheese or ham/beef/bacon, fried tomatoes, mushrooms , peppers and spinach

Ostagazuzulum · 04/04/2020 22:01

Pancakes filled with various stuffing (goats cheese, spinach and caramelised onion is my current favourite) google menu for crepe affair and it'll give some ideas for other fillings.

MiniatureRed · 05/04/2020 11:45

Pancakes is a good shout! Not sure what DC will think of a savoury one.
