Struggling for lunch ideas with everyone at home

[Mimx]

We’re getting fed up of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and things on toast on rotation - the DC are even missing their school dinners just for the variety! But don’t really want to do masses of cooking at lunch just to do it all again for dinner. What have you all been living on?

Those filled fresh pastas that you buy in the chilled aisle are great. Only take about 3 mins to cook on the hob, then mix in a little olive oil and grated Parmesan or a bit of Passata.

Cous-cous salad is another popular one here. I add chicken or tuna or sardines and salad vegetables, olives, chopped gherkins. Jars of anti-pasta vegetables in oil are useful too.

Salade Niçoise with hard boiled egg, potatoes, green beans and tuna makes a tasty & substantial lunch, not too time consuming to prepare if you have left over potatoes already cooked.

We've changed things round. Our main meal is a late lunch and every one takes a turn. Evening is snacks (and drinks).
