To ask your WFH lunch ideas?

[SmartCarDriver]

I'm bored with sandwiches, what else do you all have?

TIA

I cook lunch. Some vegetables and fresh fish or chicken. One of the benefits of WFH. Can be done in under 40 minutes and you are entitled to a lunch break regardless of job.

I have a large kitchen/living room and so can put things in the oven or on the stove and return to work as it were for part of the time.

Leftovers from night before
Some form of egg on toast/bagels
Beans on toasts
Omelette and beans
Crackers with cheese
Pitta and carrot sticks with Hummus
Soup

Soup, salad (with chicken/salmon/prawns/eggs - not just a green salad), beans on toast, omelette, jacket potato, leftovers from last night's meal.

You can have literally anything you want if you wfh. I wouldn't generally do anything that needs the oven though.
Sometimes it's just a toastie, sometimes soup or beans especially in winter. Sometimes a salad (massive or not). Quite often make a batch of hummus and have that on a toasted flatbread with olives and tomatoes. Occasionally I might do a quick pasta of some sort.

Huel, most days as I've lost the motivation to think about it and I prefer to use the time to take a walk.

Leftovers, cheese on toast with a handful of cherry tomatoes, bag of microwaved rice with sliced avocado and natural yoghurt, caprese salad, egg & beans, poached egg on toast

sometimes deliveroo KFC 😅

Anything, really! Surely that's the beauty of working from home

Cooking extra of whatever carbs we have for dinner the night before (rice, pasta or potatoes) and using it as a base for a cold dish the day after, adding things like tuna, boiled eggs, ham, mozzarella, cheddar, avocado, sweetcorn, peas, herbs, beans, leftover chicken and many others (not all together!).

I make a roasted vegetable cous cous, roasted new potatoes, cooked diced chicken breast, and a chopped salad each week (or some variant on these) and keep in tubs in the fridge. Then each lunch time I can pick and mix what I want with whatever else is knocking about in the fridge/cupboards.

I have crumpets or leftovers.
I've given up on salad stuff as I'd be bored of it after 2 days or not have the time to make it.

Lentil soup (I have it cooler on hot days)
Various salads with leaves, tomatoes, cucumber and various extras like feta, any tinned beans like chicken peas or haricot or tuna
Pita bread with various fillings

Egg fried rice with veg, tuna and five spice
Fry up
Noodles with eggs or ham and veg

Usually leftovers, scrambled egg, toasted wraps and fillings
I get 30 mins so need to be quick

Leftovers
Cheese on toast
Tomatoes and mozzarella
Houmous and pittas
Noodles in miso

That's been this week

Normally leftovers or chicken in a wrap with perinaise

sometimes for a treat I’ll make pizza with a wrap as the base or ill make a breakfast burrito mid morning which normally keeps me full (because they are huge!).

I often have:

• Bruschetta with tomatoes and red onion
• Avocado and griddled halloumi on a piece of sour dough
• Mashed hard boiled egg on a piece of sourdough
• Greek salad
• Tuna nicoise salad
• Butternut squash and goats cheese salad
• Leek and potato soup

Anything, really! Surely that's the beauty of working from home

This. Literally anything op. What do you like? Make that.

I've started buying a fresh tortellini pasta in the shop, spoonful of pesto, some pine nuts and parmesan and ready in less than 10 mins, warm and filling.

Also like an English muffin with a poached egg.

Soup

Pizza wrap things, get a wrap and cut it halfway across, in each quarter add a different topping, I usually do tomato paste, cheese, ham and pineapple. Fold each quarter up and stick on the George foreman or pan for a few mins.

Panini's as well

I make something Monday morning before work that lasts the whole week. current faves are
Tuna salad which is 500g new pots microwaved, chopped red onion, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chilli powder, fresh parsley, a can of cannellini beans and a can of tuna mixed in a big bowl. Does 5 portions served with salad leaves added.
My other favorite is chick pea burgers

Fry off an onion, add garlic, tumeric and ground cumin. Allow to cool. Blitz in a blender with can of chickpeas, can of lentils, 70g sunflower seeds, handful of coriander and an egg. Then mix with 80g flour in a bowl and make into 8 burgers.
Then each day I have 2 burgers with salad. Absolutely delicious!

That sounds amazing! I'm doing those burgers.

They are lovely. Beware they are quite sticky to make so I put more flour on the work tip and liberally coat and store in tupperware in fridge they take 1o minutes to fry every day so once making is done very easy. Filling and healthy too!!!

One tin of tuna across 5 salads?

Why would a WFH lunch be any different from any other lunch 😂?

Because you've got access to

Herb
Spices
Microwave
Oven
Hob
A whole array of foods

So it can be anything you'd have for a quick light dinner.
