DH is doing rigging at a refinery shut-down so really can't go out to get lunch without showering first (they're working with an area that has had toxic chemicals) - so I have to make him enough to sustain him during the day
This is what I do for him (he starts at 6:30 & finishes at 5:30pm so needs arvo/morning tea plus lunch) - this is what tomorrow's food will be:
Lunch
500ml Tupperware container with:
ham (about 5 slices from the deli sliced into thin strips)
cheese (about 2cm thick diced into chunks)
2 mushrooms sliced
1 tomato diced
handful of mix lettuce leaves (largish handful)
mix of sprouts (mung bean etc)
today he got steamed veges from last night (all organic) with rosemary & lamb organic sausages for lunch, a couple of muesli bars and a tub of yoghurt
I do similar for me but on a much smaller scale - I also make up toasty packets on the weekends and freeze them - I wrap the bread with filling in glad-bake and then put them in the freezer - which means I don't have to make the sandwich in a dirty sandwich maker as it is encased in glad-bake.
My DH gets a variety of things when I make his lunch; some of the things he gets are:
Home made sausage rolls (I make a big batch and freeze them)
Chicken pieces or wings (if I'm cooking wings or pieces I buy enough to put in the freezer for his lunches)
"Nachos" - I make a mix of tomato, avacado, corn kernels etc and add some sakata's on the side
Pasta salad
Caesar Salad
Soup (in winter) - again, I make a big batch and freeze individual serves
Sometimes I send him with a variety of cold meats, sundried tomatoes, olives etc.
And on the days I don't make his lunch - he raids the pantry at work. He is currently contracted to the head office of a major supermarket chain and so they always have a heap of foods for them to eat. At the moment he is chowing his way through a carton of LCM bars...
