Lunch recipes

[Thermalpants]

Hi, I’m looking for quick lunchtime recipes. I’m getting very bored with beans or spaghetti on toast. Eggs and chicken sometimes turns my stomach. I made homemade tomato soup the other day, and I really enjoyed that with a crusty roll. Please send me your best recipes.

Are you eating at home or taking your lunch to work?

Tortilla pizza ( my fav ) then add any veg you want on

Egg fried rice with left over meats

Slow cook a gammon and then you get quite a few meals out of it you can have some nice shredded gammon baguettes , jacket potato with some gammon , Chuck some
Bbq sauce with you gammon and make a pulled pork burger.

Tuna cakes ( I normally do this when I have mash potato the night before and use left over mash )

Vegetable quesadilla

Most of the time I’m home around lunchtime, but it would be good to have ideas for packed lunch too, thanks.

@ilovethecold, those options all sound great. You sound the polar opposite to me judging by your username! 😂

I am a big fan of these homemade pot noodles here
Filled pasta can be cooked quickly and dressed with pesto, eaten straightaway or kept in the fridge and microwaved for a couple of minutes when you are ready.

@bellagogosdead, I love the sound of a homemade pot noodle! I like pesto, but I only seem to fancy it occasionally. Can you freeze pesto coated pasta?

I make a roasted veg quinoa salad, enough for a few days. You can add Halloumi, falafel, eggs, any protein. Delicious hot or cold with a dressing.

I am the same with pesto, so freeze portions of it in little pots, otherwise it grows mould in the fridge. I havent tried freezing the pasta with it on.

I love a cheat's stir-fry for lunch. You can buy packets of ready-prepped veg, add some protein & a ready-made sauce

Thanks for those @Georgyporky and @doodleygirl.😊
@bellagogosdead, great tip, thanks. I like pesto, but I hate wasting 1/2
of a jar when I have had enough. Nobody else likes pesto in our house, so I rarely buy it because I hate waste.
