Just like the title says i need some quick lunch meal ideas as i dont have much time to prep a long cook time meal inbetween my working days.
I was wondering if any of you have some good quick meal ideas that i could take as my own.
 
Precook stuff then heat it up in the microwave. Life's too short to spend your lunch hour cooking.

Failing that, bacon and egg banjo.

Been thinking about investing in a slow cooker, my friends have said its done them wonders.

Bacon and Egg Banjo simplistic i like it hahaha
 
if you just want to open a box / bottle and eat then i would take soup in a flask and nice fresh bread rolls and butter.

plus a yougurt and bars of whatever. like nuts and fruit bars

i have seen people with pasta but not tried that

Seems like a good route to go in terms of lunch, can be a much more healthier options in terms of what i have been going with the past weeks.
 
Since vivid working from home I've been roasting/grilling some veg like aubergine or squash in a Monday, cooking some couscous or Bulgar wheat, with some chickpeas or lentils (same pot), then making do with that for the rest of the week with some more regular salad stuff.. tomatoes, leaves etc..

Chucking a salad together is always going to be quicker than trying to "make something" every day.

I do enjoy squash and aubergine but everytime i tried to cook couscous it goes horribly wrong
 
Slow cooker and an air fryer is my go to's these days. Helped me lose 10 stone (but 6 back on since lockdown ffs) just by chucking stuff in and leaving it. Really hard to **** anything up and usually everything is lovely. Air fryer is great for chips/chicken and everything in between , invest in an instant read thermometer and you'll be golden, takes no time at all to make anything!

Jesus thats crazy dude but hey still kinda lost 4 stone there still pretty good. Yeah i should really invest in them tbh.
 
Eh? For couscous just put it in a mug, pour boiled water over it (just enough to cover) and leave it with a lid/plate over for 5mins. Fluff with a fork once all the water has been sucked up. Easiest thing in the world. Add some olive oil and seasoning when you fluff it. So easy :confused:

Didnt even realise it was that easy tbh :cry:
