What’s for lunch?

I’ve seen a few what’s for dinner threads, so let’s have a lunch edit!

Ive got a bowl of roasted butternut squash soup and a crusty roll, with a bottle of lucozade orange to pep me up as have not been feeling well.
Also there’s a bag of M&S easy peelers that was a freebie from the 12 Days of Sparks to add a dose of fresh vitamin C 😁

What are you having?

Soup as well!

Heinz cream of tomato soup with a slice of buttered tiger bread.

A bizarre lunch of pan fried duck breast, roasted golden butternut squash, and Gazpacho. (Recovering from Covid and having very weird food cravings.)

Roast beef and salad sarnie with a swipe or horseradish sauce. DD has had a sausage roll and a chopped up apple and some grapes.

Warming up a couple of slices of cold pizza and having that with salad and hummus.

I made a massive batch of soup at the weekend as evenings are going to be unhealthy and expensive this week due to Christmas plans and work is hectic. My soup is sweet potato, lentil and veg and I didn’t manage any breakfast so having marmite toast with it right now as I type.

Fish finger sandwich, with tartare sauce to zap it up a bit. Then a slice of stollen as a taste of Christmas.

Omg, my mum LOVED a cheese and beetroot sandwich, bless her. That's a lovely memory I had quite forgotten, so thank you.

Me and 11 month old DD shared a tin of broccoli and Stilton soup. With a slice of buttered bread. She had an orange and when she’s asleep I’ll be having a kitkat chunky I’ve had hidden from DP in the fridge
