Food suggestions
-
That was my concern as well Kirwan, bread-less meals seem tricky and made worse by my laziness in preparing lunches ahead of time!<br />
<br />
I guess some sort of rice/vege/meat combo would work well? <br />
<br />
That's quite a varied menu JK, definitely kai that I like to eat in there. -
Gotta try keep it interesting. If ya dont vary the food then all ya can change is the sauce and putting chilli sauce on everything just aint that good in the long run.<br />
<br />
Also eat alot of fresh and smoked fish. Got a whole lot of snapper fillets in the fridge right now plus about 5 kg in kingfish slabs from yesterday. Gonna try head home shortly to put the smoker on for the kingfish and then my lunch for the week will be sorted. -
Yeah, it's a pain. I usually only have about 20/30mins to relax in the middle of the day and eat. So I don't want to spend too long preparing lunch.<br />
<br />
Breakfast I have sorted now, took ages to wean off having toast but I don't miss that anymore. Dinner is pretty good, and I having that around 6pm most days now too, and the wife puts in a big effort here for the kids, and I benefit <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Just need that middle meal fixed now, even my snacks are good. -
I eat every now and again Wholegrain tortilla wraps or other (non-white) wraps.
-

Hooroo spotted that it/he was likely a Bot.<br />
<br />
Pity, I was really interested to hear about that Russian salad! -
Something I often make up and use for the wife's lunches is the 'Instant' Falafel mix. Basically ground chickpea with some herbs and spices. Mix with water and fry some small patties of it in a little olive oil (you can omit this with a good nonstick pan) then use to bulk out salads etc. mainly protein and a little carb. Makes a filling salad with some baby beetroot and a bit of Feta. For a dressing just mix some low fat yoghurt with teaspoon of Tahini (or you could mix in a pinch of chilli, or just some ground pepper)

That sounds really tasty! will have to check it out.<br />
<br />
I've been coooking brown rice and then making a stir fry - onions, garlic, ginger form the base then add whatever is at hand - done veges ones with mushrooms and meat ones with spicy sausages diced up in it. Find portion size can get cut right down as brown rice is so filling. -
Yep, brown rice is another goodie as a base for lunches. Just cook up extra at night and put it in the fridge. Plenty of quick rice salad type ideas can be used. BR with some pesto and feta is good.<br />
<br />
I hardly ever cook white rice now unless it's for a curry that you something to mop up the sauce with. Brown rice never really works like that. -
Came across this. Gives some great tips<br />
