I go through phases where I find something I like and then eat it every day until I'm sick of it, usually at least a few weeks. I drive myself mad. Anyway, currently on cannellini bean and tuna salad with mayo red onion and chilli.

Recent phases have beeen:

Lentil and bacon soup
Corned beef and pickle on white bread
halloumi and chroizo with rocket salad
Fake Mcdonalds breakfast muffins with tesco sausage patties, they are exactly the same

Roasted tomatoes, onion and garlic on couscous with feta.

Butter and garlic prawns on spaghetti.

Chargrilled greens with halloumi and a honey/lemon dressing in a wrap.

Jamie Oliver "all in one pan toasted sandwich" thing.

Gyoza - usually with noodles and chopped raw veggie and a dressing.

The rest of the time it's soup and sandwiches.

If Ocado delivers tomorrow I'll be back to making a warmed mixed grain salad with feta (or salad cheese), and diced chilli beetroot, cucumber and tomatoes. I pour a bit of beetroot ketchup on top. The pouches of flavoured mixed grains are easy to get hold of.

If you have any leftover chicken, shred some into a bowl of ramen, noodles, shredded carrot and some sort of shredded cabbage/salad leaf. Add flavourings/chilli flakes if you wish (or swap noodles for gyozas -buy a bag of frozen ones perhaps).

Me, i had a crab meat and cheese toastie (with a few chilli flakes in).

Asian style broth with noodles, home made dumplings or gyoza, shredded chicken beef or pork, leftover vegetables.

Stroganoff is quick to make, serve with buttered noodles or microwave rice.

Make a quick kedgeree with microwave pilau rice and kipper or smoked mackerel fillets.

Cook fish in the microwave, or fry or bake in foil, serve with green vegetables, or cous-cous.

Sausages with puy lentils.

My favourite lunch at the moment is a rare roast beef and anchovy sandwich.
