The Lunch Thread

Leftover sausage and leek hash from last night's dinner.  Soooo tasty! 

A pbj & a banana we dont have alot of food left in the house since we are going on vacation soon.   

I had to drag up this thread to brag about my homemade baked potato soup.  I love it!  So, we're having it for lunch today to kick off our Christmas meal extravaganza!

Is it vegetarian? (Or can it become so?) Recipe? I love potato anything, and soup.

If you choose not to have the bacon, it could be vegetarian but not vegan.  Also, I peeled and boiled the potatos instead of baking them and then peeling and cutting them.  I found that easier for me, but either way works.

ETA:  I usually get about a weeks worth of lunches out of it.

Cool, thanks! I may make that over the weekend sometime.

Reviving the thread for January!

Since we had a company outing last night, there weren't any leftovers for my lunch today. So in desperation last night, I chucked the following into a tupperware: pumpkin I'd cubed and peeled a few nights ago, some broccoli, sliced mushrooms, and a stock cube. I grabbed a packet of soft udon noodles and it's heating now in a pot on the office stove.

And I just got a comment on how healthy it looks.

ooh, that sounds tasty! I'm on a quinoa kick, so I'm having tuna, sweetcorn, and quinoa. I'll admit that I mostly added the sweetcorn because I looked and tuna and quinoa and realized that it was quite a beige looking lunch!
We've restarted our veggie box after the holidays, so I'm looking forward to more colourful lunches next week!

1/2 a cheese and onion pasty and some goulash   

Spinach salad with carrots, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and 2 hard boiled eggs sliced up on top of it and some honey mustard dressing.

Leftover chicken and bean stuffed peppers

I think I'm going to try something different and make a Mexican bean and quinoa salad today to take in my lunches this week: quinoa, a mix of pinto and black beans, corn, tomatoes, peppers, onions, lime juice, cilantro, maybe some black olives... Sounds yummy and filling.

I love quinoa!

Leftover split pea soup... mmmm love it when its leftover, its all thick and stodgy!!

I'm brown bagging it today, but as there were no leftovers from last night, today's lunch is a sandwich (bread machine oatmeal bread + Irish sweet tomato relish + cheddar + ham), carrot sticks, and some sourdough pretzels from our enormous Costco barrel.
