Hey queens!
Need some serious inspiration, and who better to ask than my fellow queens!
Working out of the house every day and trying to think of a lunch that's tasty is getting very difficult! Very bored of the plain old sandwich fillers 😩
If we've had a nice pasta dish for dinner or fajitas, I'll take left overs, but other than that, I'm struggling to think of something I'll actually look forward to!
Anyone any ideas on some nice work lunches that can either be cold or warmed (thank goodness for a microwave 😂)
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated by this uninspired queen!
Hi@Chloe Mitchell , I really like to have a quinoa salad and throw anything in like sweet potato, avocado,beetroot, peppers or tomatoes as an example.
Another thing I like is a wrap with falafel and spinach and hummus
Also just like a poke or Buddha bowl with grains, varieties or vegetables and usually a piece of meat for example salmons or prawns
Or if your working from home, an omelette is quick and easy with tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms, cheese and ham !
also I like to pre make some energy balls or snacks on the weekend so I reach for them during the day.
@Aoileann O'Connor thanks so much! Might try the energy balls at the weekend, they sound great!
Some things I have been making a lot of:
Batch of veg chilli (butternut squash, peppers, onion tin of mixed beans/kidney beans, passata, all the spices) Freeze some and take 2 days for lunch - day 1 with baked potato and day 2 with portion of cauli rice, mini avocado and some grated cheese.
Slow cooker chicken breasts cooked with a mix of siracha, honey, soy sauce, garlic and lime juice. Cook on low then shred and have as a base for a salad.
Brown rice salad - cup of brown rice cooked and cooled. Tin of drained chickpeas, add red onion, olives, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, peppers season well and mix some olive oil with lemon juice. Add some sliced turkey, ham etc on side.
Buy some salmon darnes cook night before and also chop + roast veggies in the oven - have cold the next day can be tasty too.
Budda bowls any protein source, some avo, some rice or couscous, grated carrot, hummus, honestly it's so yum!!
Granola yogurt fruit some flaked coconut chia seeds

Hi @Chloe Mitchell
I just had a wrap pizza - simple and quick for those days you don't have much time. I have also had these cold when i was in the office.
Heat the wrap in the over then top with tomato puree or passatta, cheese and whatever other toppings you fancy! Today i did olives and goatscheese. Pop back in the oven! Voila!
Or a take on the quesadilla - again heat the wrap, top with green pesto, cheese and spinach fold in half and pop back in the over until the cheese is melted. Could use anything inside!
My summer go to...greek salad! yum!
Bagel pizza and pitta pizza i have seen a lot of people have.
I am up for anything that doesnt take me long to cook personally!
