Hey guys,
My finances need a serious re-jigging, and as a result I will need to stop purchasing food during working hours. This means I have to get my act together and take prepared lunches. Very scary concept, as I don't enjoy spending time in the kitchen and my culinary skills are devoid of flair & creativity.
I'm hoping you can help me out. I need some ideas, aside from left-overs, for what to eat for lunch.
I don't want to eat too much bread. I am lactose intolerant, so no cheese, cream or yoghurt. I don't really like meat, so cold cuts are out. I ride a motorcycle, so lunch needs to be compact to carry and not too leaky! I have access to a fridge & microwave at work.
Any ideas? I'm so bad at food stuff. I eat take away/fast foods most nights and this also needs to change.

Make a big bowl of hummus. Get some pita. Get some vegetables and chop them and keep them in a bowl of water in the fridge.
Little tupperware tub of hummus, piece or two of pita, baggie of vegetables, and a piece of fruit or a cookie or something.
Remember to recycle your waste!

leftovers???
that'd be what would come to my mind first.
home made pizza, lasagna, spaghetti bolognase
dinner can be two meals if you make enough!
