sage Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I’m running out of inspiration for packy-up. Usual is omelet and salad. A small piece of tuna & salad. Cold chicken salad. By the time Friday is looming I hate the sight of tom/cuc/radish/cellary/pepper Bread is a no no Help me please before I go to canteen and pig out.

Jools Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 My OH does that every now and again - there are some ryvitas that don't contain wheat and also some rice cakes. They look pretty gruesome to me but he says they're quite tasty really. If you're sick of everything else, it might ring a refreshing change?

Olly Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 My lunch is often based on last night's dinner! What about rice, rice pasta, quinoa, or similar - I try and jazz things up with pesto, capers, sun-dried tomato, a handful of toasted sunflower seeds or pine-nuts makes it more interesting as well. If you add frozen peas or sweetcorn they are defrosted and perfectly edible by lunchtime (can you tell I'm usually in a hurry!). I add a bit of pepper, cucumber and tomato but I can't eat huge amounts of salad, so I often add cooked broccoli, cooked or raw carrot, or anything else I have left over.

majorbloodnock Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Why not invest in a wide-mouthed vacuum flask and take some hot meals. Obvious choices would be soups and stews, but with enough room to get a dessert spoon in there's no reason why not to take more adventurous stuff. Risotto? Something Oriental with stir-fried noodles (one of the gluten-free varieties in your case, of course)? No reason why not to pop in a few slices of a roast with some spuds and veg. Probably won't look as pretty when lunchtime comes, but it'll taste just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 How about adding herbs to your salad or spicing it up a bit with some chilli and lime or lemon, or making a salad with other raw veg, I love cauliflower raw and presumably you can eat potato salad, new potatoes are just coming into season too.
