1. Lazy omlette: two eggs, a drop of water, one sliced tomato, and something else (some capsicum, a little ham, a spring onion, some parseley, a couple of olives, a bit of feta - whatever you have handy!) and nuke in the mocrowave for 1-2 mins (depending on your microwave strength)
2. Lazy steamer: one piece of fish or chicken, two handfuls of green (spinach, bok choy, cabbage, broccoli) and something red (tomato/capsicum) and microwave all together in a microwave steamer for 3 minutes.
3. Soup: simmer for an hour a big cauldron of stock, cabbage, capsicum, tinned tomato, carrot, corriander, celerey, garlic ... then put into meal sized tubs and freexe - then just defrost one each morning, and eat. If you find you get hungry, then steam a potato to go with. If you need some protein, chuck in some steamed chicken, a or a tin of salmon/tuna.
Lentils, baby beetroots, sliced spring onion, some rocket and spinach, spoonful of crushed walnuts and some crumbled fetta = very YUMMO salad.
Or tuna, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes makes a nice salad as well.
I love turkey, swiss cheese and cranberry sauce wraps too.
Curried egg sangers.
Tuna, mixed salad with homemade sweet potato chips in the oven, I also have variations of this, such as instead of tuna I may toss some chicken breast in the fry pan with some mushrooms, red capo and red onion, maybe add some cajun or moroccan seasoning. Or instead of sweet potato chips i will have just homemade potato chips or a jacket potato.
Left overs!! This has been my saviour since having DS2. I make an effort to have something left over from dinner to eat for lunch, usually spaghetti, stirfry's, crumbed chicken. Or I have been making a tuna salad- mix together some tuna, tinned corn, grated carrot, diced capsicum with a little low fat mayo and stir in some baby spinnach and lettuce. Yummeee!! And very healthy and filling.
Recently I brought the woman's weekly 21 day wonder diet book - and have been going through the meals in there for our normal meals and so far they have been great! I can post some of my faves up if you like - they are all very healthy and easy
As an off the top of my head suggest how about mountain bread wraps with deli meat and salad?
I like to take couscous to work. I usually cheat and get the Ainsely one then add 8 cherry tomatoes (or 1 normal one) diced, 100g crumbled feta, 1/2 a lebanese cucumber. YUMMO! I'm the only one who eats it in my house so 1 sachet = 3-4 days worth of lunches! Sometimes I add grilled lamb to it which is super yummo!
I also make a rice noodle salad which I add stir fried chicken to. This lasts 2 days as DH loves it as well!
I make a snowpea stir fry as well (snowpeas, garlic, ginger, chili, cashews, soy, sherry) and add grilled chicken to it. YUMMO!
I love half a cup of couscous cooked with lemon juice (gives a great tang!) then I just add loads of salad to it including sundried tomatoes and cheese YUM
I like to eat chicken sandwich and sometimes i prefer chicken pasta in my lunch as it is easily cooked and good food for lunch and i consider it as best food for the lunch.
I don't like to eat too much in my dinner so i eat simple food. Sometime i eat fruits only and sometime i like to eat pasta. Pasta is my favorite item in dinner.
