.... to ask what you are having for lunch

[stressedout1994]

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.

Was it the Lidl one? Chocolate pudding, I mean.

A hard boiled egg, cucumber and carrot sticks and a babybel light.

This sounds good - do you have a recipe to share please?

Last day on holiday in Turkey - I had a beef brisket burger, Parmesan fries and a beer at the beach shack!

My children ate cold Japanese Summer noodles.
My Husband ate a banana, and then left for the gym.
I ate about 12 heaped teaspoons of Nutella in the kitchen in between reorganising cupboards and realising that no amount of storage solutions seem to be helping in my tiny kitchen!

This made me chuckle as the MN thread that lives rent free in my mind is the thread a few weeks ago where posters were judging people who drank 'too much' water. You had a whole glass of water?? Nobody could possibly need a whole glass at lunch you filthy Gen X-er

I also had a glass of water, with a nectarine and chicken salad with courgettes and crispy onions.

Red onion fried with 3 or 4 diced skinless chicken thighs. Add a couple of crushed garlic cloves and a teaspoon or so of ground coriander and of smoked paprika with a knob of butter. Then stir in a heaped tablespoon of flour followed by a good dollop of tomato puree and a stock cube and water (around 250 - 300 ml, probably). Add tinned sweetcorn and beans (I usually use black beans or red kidney beans, but another sort world be fine. Simmer until thickened and serve with rice. Or on a jacket potato.

we had honey roasted peppers and feta pasta. Yummy!

I just forgot the cheese again...

Brilliant, thank you, I will give this a go!

Crispy potato salad and the 4 heck chicken sausages that need using up today

You may want to adjust the spice level to your own taste. I just sort of shake it in because I know roughly how much it should look like in the pan.

Hope you enjoy if you try it. 😊

No a Sainsbury's one, Arla brand I think it was. Pretty tasty. I like the Morrisons ones too! Is the Lidl one good?

I quite like it, but my standards for chocolate pudding are pretty low

Black olive ciabatta toasted, with feta crumbled on top. Cherry tomatoes.

Soup. This thread has just reminded me to take it out the freezer!

I took sweet potato and red pepper soup out of the freezer to have for lunch today.

2 Greggs sausage rolls and a yum yum.

Last night's left over bang bang chicken and noodles. Delicious.

Ah today we are having cheese garlic and caramelised onion muffins fresh from the oven with salad stuff for me and nothing else for him. Plus a glass of water again.

Crackers with laughing cow, ham and cucumber

Slice of rye bread topped with cottage cheese, blistered cherry tomatoes, basil leaves and some balsamic vinegar.

Then a honey and apricot Skyr.

It's not even nearly lunchtime here yet, but I've been thinking about lunch all morning!
