healthy Lunch ideas (for me) to have at home that are not bread or salad?

[soon2befamilyof4]

Any ideas? I struggle everyday with finding lunch and usually end up with beans or spaggetti on toast but on a day like today, my bread is covered in mould and I need something else! I don't like salads though and don't have loads of prep time?

Soup

Soup is only nice with bread dipped in!

Pasta and sauce?
V qucik and easy.

ommelette

jacket spuds with tuna/corn/crispy bacon/cheese....
omelette?

tuna & rice salad?
pasta & tomato sauce with melty cheese on top
omelette or scrambled eggs
remains of whatever you had for tea the night before (if there are any, there wouldn't be ay here!)
jacket pot with beans/cheese/tuna

some sort of exciting salad, as in not just lettuce, toms, cucumber? Maybe with some other things or a chicken salad with garlic dressing (although from your meatballs thread which I've just read, I don't know anything about SW so don't know if dressings would be 'allowed')

It is the dressings on salads that I don't like - can't stand them.

Would be happy to do pasta and sauce - but what sauce can I make really quickly? I usually have my 1 year old hanging around me - I am used to her having a nap which gave me the chance to cook lunch but she seems to be dropping that .

You are allowed pretty much anything on Slimming world to be honest. If it is healthy anyway, as in, not getting a mc donalds or something silly! But most normal foods you can eat.

When I did SW I used to love the 6 extra light dairy lea spread on to apple and pear slices, it felt like a real treat!
Or I had dairylea on ryvita
Soup with pitta bread/ryvita
Have you made the SW quiche with eggs and cottage cheese? Bloody lovely, I still make it now ( I should prob go back to SW as culd do with another stone off).
It's just whisked eggs, tub of cottage cheese then whatever you fancy ham/cheese/bacon/tin of salmon or tuna, roasted peppers etc, add lots of herbs and garlic, it is light and quick.

monkeybiz.stanford.edu/~jim/gscb/main/fivequick.html the fourth and fifth ones on that page are reasonably quick & tasty if you have the things to make them

mmmm lizzy - do you know if you can freeze the quiche? How long will it keep in the fridge? Is it free?

I make a frittata, which is like an omelette with potatoes and veges, cheese or meat in it, and I whack in a ton of healthy things and left-overs, and slices of that can last a few days. Except that they're usually so damn delicious that I eat more than I should ... Oh well, they're pretty healthy.

Half fat creme fraiche, parmesan and a smudge of mustard stirred into hot pasta makes a quick sauce.

Can you eat creme fraiche when pregnant? I don't think I have ever bought/used it before . New to all this not eating process crap lark!

I don't see why not? Is it unpasteurised?

I don't know?

Depending on what you put in it (red/green whatever) then yes it is free.
I love it, not sure if you can freeze it, but you certainly make one up and keep it in the fridge for a couple of days.
Creme Fraiche is fine when pg.
Salads are nice with Cottage cheese on, instead of dressings.
Quorn is free on SW, I love the swedish meatballs, you could make up a bolognaise/chilli or the meatballs with a tomatoey sauce and freeze portions of it.

Make a huge bowl of couscous with roasted veg pinenuts and a bit of pesto and keep it in the fridge, then grill up a chicken breast or tuna steak to have with it.

I made beef and pork meatballs yesterday with a tomatoey sauce and they were lovely. Are the Quorn ones ready made? I haven't eaten Quorn for years but don't rememeber very good things about it (taste wise I mean). So haven't been brave enough to do it this time but would be interested to know what is nice and I might give it a go. Tonight I am having vegetable burgers, which are 2.5 points each but that is for quater pounders so not bad! I have put 2 on - does anybody know if they will be ok to put in the fridge till tomorrow if I don't eat them all? They were frozen ones? Trying to get rid of all the stuff in the freezer now, so I can start freezing my home made meals so when baby arrives I won't need to cook for a while. So DH is eating full fat sausages and I am having the vege burgers and both having beans and sauted potatoes.

Quorn meatballs are lovely, I like Quorn though. DH hated the meatballs, he didn't like the texture. I made a roasted red pepper and garlicy tomato sauce for them.
