Just that! Could use some inspiration.

I'm having cucumber sushi rolls, salmon and avocado sushi rolls with crispy onions (courtesy of sushi bar in Waitrose)

Homemade strawberry and pineapple fruit salad

Monster much

Anyone else? I'm WFH and normally have similar when in the office. But I love a good soup for lunch!

Dd22 is getting anxious over her upcoming driving test in a couple of hours, so cheese toasty(comfort food in our house) and lemon drizzle cupcakes (she bakes when she is anxious). Both were really tasty.

Ham, cheese and pickle sandwich with a cup of tea.

I feel so plebeian after reading all these!

Lentil soup and a ham sandwich. Although I realised when making it that the ham is two days out of date. So hopefully I will live (it tasted fine).

Coconuthotchocolate · 19/02/2025 13:23

I’m feeling pissed off so had a large slice of fruit cake!

Grumplechops · 19/02/2025 13:24

Chicken wrap and some carrot sticks and hummus.

HelpMeGetThrough · 19/02/2025 13:26

Cup of tea and a ciggy. Time for another cup of tea and well, maybe another ciggy before my meeting.

Wintersoltice · 19/02/2025 13:26

Tofu and salad sandwich, a few lentil chips, a satsuma and a few bits of dried mango.

IchiNiSanShiGo · 19/02/2025 13:27

Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel with a good squeeze of fresh lemon and black pepper.

Yesterday was a chicken salad roll from the bakery.

The day before was a couple of cheese and onion rolls (like a sausage roll) eaten while standing up because I was a disorganised mess 😂

BountiesAreUnderrated · 19/02/2025 13:28

Pea and mozzarella risotto balls with leek on the side. Now going to get a cup of tea and get back to work. Might have a couple of clementines too, they look a bit sad in my fruit bowl and need eating.

hby9628 · 19/02/2025 13:34

Not v healthy but I'd walked the dog & wanted something warming. I added some cheese & mushrooms for extra taste

Toast with some of this M&S chicken caesar dip. I'm trying to stop myself going in to the fridge to eat the rest of the tub with a spoon....

theressomanytinafeysicouldbe · 19/02/2025 13:38

Today I had tuna mayo in a low carb wrap and 4 boiled eggs

I normally have a toastie made on the foreman with sandwich thins, cheese and onion, tuna and mozzarella, things like that

Or I make a chicken wrap and stick it on the foreman, lettuce, spiced chicken from Aldi, some cheese and some peri peri may

Omelette, stick whatever is left in the fridge in it, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, spinach.

Jacket potato's, I cook them the night before and reheat - again normally with Tuna and mozzarella

I don't work from home but live a 2 min drive from work so go home everyday to let the dog out

There is also a beef pastrami one and hot smoked salmon & caper dip. I know they're dips but they're mostly cream cheese which is perfectly acceptable to load onto toast.

GameOfJones · 19/02/2025 13:42

Two slices of toast with butter and marmite, a handful of grapes and a cup of tea. Simple but so good!

AtleastitsnotMonday · 19/02/2025 13:55

I'm at home so I had a salad with mixed leaves, celery, red onion, red pepper, sweetcorn, carrot and sliced apple. Topped with warm cumin and garlic chickpeas, cucumber and mint yoghurt dressing and sprinkled with mixed seeds. It was absolutely delicious.

Tomorrow, time will not be on my side so it will be a lucky dip of the various soups in the freezer!

YYURYYUCICYYUR4ME · 19/02/2025 13:58

Just had beetroot burger, on a bed of salad leaves.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 19/02/2025 14:01

I made brown soda bread last night so I had some of that (buttered) with 2 boiled eggs and then a cutted up pear Grin

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 19/02/2025 14:05

Butter chicken and rice for me and dd today, made enough to last us a couple of days

She's poorly so we're in bed with the heating on and following it with a can of coke zero for me/ fruit shoot for dd x

StiggyZardust · 19/02/2025 14:07

I made some soup with celery and celeriac. It's horrible, so now looking for something else.

BarneyRonson · 19/02/2025 14:09

Chicken salad, pineapple and goji berries, and a hot cinnamon coffee. It would be a lie to omit that I ate three bahlsen two hours ago…
