    My DH makes his lunch at work. He takes enough salad for the week to work and buys fresh bread every day on his way to work. Sometimes (If I'm feeling nice) I make DH some chicken schnitzels, he puts them in rolls or wraps at work.

    He also takes:

    cup a soups
    small tins of tuna
    tinned fruit, fresh fruit
    leftovers from tea
    in winter I make soup and freeze it in portions for him.
    tinned spaghetti or baked beans

    He also has a jaffle maker at work so he can use most of those things to make toasties too.

    Oh sorry, I misread teh title, none of that is made from scratch - except the soup and chicken schnitzels.

    Oooh, looking forward to good ideas here.

    I sometime cook up a zucchini slice on the weekend and cut and freeze in portions for lunch.

    3 zucchinis
    2 carrots
    1 onion
    1 cup SR flour
    1 cup grated cheese
    1/4 cup veg oil (recipe says 1/3 cup but 1/4 cup is plenty)
    5 or 6 eggs beaten
    Parsley
    Salt and pepper

    Grate veggies (I tend to cut the onion or it goes mushy), mix all the ingredients together, chuck in quiche dish and cook at 180 for 30-40ish (I often find it takes longer as I tend to use huge zucchinis lol). The last few times I've made it ive spread it over two quiche dishes.

    Yummy!!!!!
