What do you have for lunch?

[humptyNdumpy]

I got a lot of inspiration from the breakfast thread so lets continue the good work

well we had macaroni with grated cheese and cucumber and tuna. Followed by Jaffa cakes

Thanks paranoidother, it was a very lonely thread

WE usually have a sandwich or soup and bread and then a pile of fruit as I am 10/10ing.

Adn cofffe, natch.

Sushi

Which makes me sound really posh. but its that or pick at stuff all afternoon because im hungry.

Either leftovers or else something like beans on toast / cheese & salad sandwich / scrambled egg with greens.

My weirdest lunch (according to DH) is kale on toast with lime pickle, but I like it .

We work from home, which makes it easier.

leftovers (today was aubergine bake) or homeade soup or pasta or salad. plus yoghurt and fruit.

I might start making my own soup and freezing it for lunch - thats very healthy isnt it >

A massive salad of mixed leaves, toms, cucumber, grated carrot, sweetcorn, celery, radishes, sometimes avocado, topped with cottage cheese or a smoked mackerel fillet and pumpkin seeds. A PITA to make but it's HUGE and filling and the protein stops me getting hungry mid-afternoon, which is what happens if I eat soup.

I'd like to say a version of Dairymoo's lunch.

Sadly its usually a sandwich of some discription or soup and bread (courtesy of Mr Heinz)

I wonder if I too would get hungary eating soup?

I really would love too eat your lunch dairymoo but I'm not a salad fan

I have found that adding some protein to whatever it is I'm having - soup/salad/sarnie really makes a difference to my hunger levels in the afternoon. Even a massive bowl of soup leaves me hungry by 3:30/4 if it's just pureed veggies. Add a decent amount of chicken/fish/pulses and I'm fine.

I've done a lamb roast dinner for everyone else.

I'm having a yoghurt.

I have leftovers or something quick, like:

Omelette & salad - I've got really good at doing Spanish-style omelettes with potato & onion, or frittata with lots of sweet peppers.

Scrambled eggs on toast with beans.

Jacket potato or baked sweet potato with a filling - tuna 'mayo' made with tuna, peppers, fat free creme fraiche and a bit of a sweet chilli sauce is one of my faves.

Grilled halloumi with avocado salad.

Houmous & cucumber on toast.

fine thanks. A bit sore today for some reason. Bloated and feeling very full all the time. Apart from that, all is well, except I am feeling a bit slutty today. I have a new top and bra on and they are, erm, rather more plunging than I was expecting them to be, so I am peering down at massive amounts of pasty white cleavage and wondering if that's really appropriate when my parents and grandad are on their way over.

But then, can I really be bothered to iron something else. I think not.

How are you?

Today I had a salmon sandwich. Usually a sandwich as it's the easiest to make, baked potato if I can be bothered, or some toast etc. Not very exciting really!
