So guys let me explain what this is about..... I always take my lunch to work because the canteen is ridicolously overpriced however lately im so bored of the usual sandwich so i wondered if anyone would like to play a game.

The rules:
Give me 5 suggestions what to have monday to friday
1 Must be a warm heal i can heat up
1 Must be a sandwich

please bear in mind at work the only facility i have available is a microwave and kettle.

p.s i dont like mayonaise or seafood so dont add this.

Hi
i sometimes have jacket potatoes, beans and cheese. Just put potatoes in the microwave for 10-15 min and then heat your beans.
nice meal!

[coolasice]

Soup? or even reheat home made soup.

[coolasice]

what about microwave meals?

Day1 - Salad bowl (I like to add a small tin of peppered mackerel ).
Day2 - Two dishes, one with rice, one with curry to zap at lunchtime.
Day3 - Pre cooked bacon or sausage, zap ......
Day4 - Corned beef sandwich and mug of oxtail soup.
Day5 - A couple of hard boiled eggs, bread n butter.

A different soup each day with different breads.

How about you make your own posh pot noodle at home then you'd just need the kettle at work and you'd have a tasty hot dinner?

I keep meaning to try this myself but never get round to it!

I make loads of pasta, have some for my tea, and take a tub to work for lunch the next day. Add whatever you like, tuna, chicken, sweetcorn, peppers etc.

Tuesday - leftover mushroom and leek risotto with minted carrot and new potato
Wednesday - cream cheese, black pepper and cucumber sandwich
Thursday - Assorted mezze: green olives, humous, cream cheese, sun-dried tomato and pitta
Today - leftover butternut squash tagine, spicy couscous, preserved lemon, yogurt and almonds.

I also take my lunch to work every day. If there are leftovers from the night before, I usually take them for lunch. But here are some of my lunch favorites, which are easy to make and transport:

1. (Re)heated dish: Chinese vegetable fried rice with peas, scrambled egg, scallions, carrots, water chestnuts and celery.

2. Sandwich: Mediterranean veggie with spicy red pepper hummus, leaf lettuce or alfalfa sprouts, avocado, red onion and tomato. (I assemble the sandwich at work so the bread doesn't get soggy; also, I use substantial whole-grain bread for this.)

3. Deconstructed tacos. I make taco-seasoned ground beef or Spanish rice the night before. At work, I reheat the beef or rice in the microwave and top it with cool grated Cheddar, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives and chopped green chili peppers or jalapenos. I usually scoop it all up with tortilla chips or crunch them on top.

4. Tabbouleh salad. I start with a boxed mix that contains dry bulgur wheat and seasonings then add my own chopped cucumber, chopped tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil, scallions, chopped ripe olives and, if I have it on hand, fresh mint. I wouldn't recommend this if you have to be in close contact with co-workers or customers, though. It's very fragrant!

5. Italian bean salad. I combine white (cannellini) beans with canned tuna, shallots, parsley, olive oil and a splash of red wine vinegar. I eat it cold with crackers.

I'm in need of some different ideas so I'll be stealing some that are in this thread!

I usually have chicken sandwiches Monday - Friday... I have soup sometimes when it's cold outside.

That's it though. Boring eh?

[barracks4250]

egg fried rice, scramble egg in wok add cooked rice, soy sauce to taste
then add cooked steak or chicken, tastes awesome and healthier than take away.

salad with chicken and bacon mixed with salad cream or mayo (whichever u preffere)

jacket with tuna mayo

BLT

steak with potatoes and scrambled eggs, or pasta and steak, hot or cold tastes nice

salad sandwich with deli turkey and parma ham

smoked salmon with any veg you like such as sliced raw carott and any other raw veg.

hope this helps?
