Is there more than sarnies?

Dear reader,

I hope you are well. I cannot believe the change in weather. Rain and cold here in Bucks. So much so that the clothes won't dry and I'm feeling the need for warm food rather than the salads and cold meats we have been used to.

I actually used the slow cooker today for a beef stew. I found some diced stewing steak and put it in with a large carrot and a diced onion. There was an offer on the packets you so a cheap meal served with new potatoes, kale and runner beans. Enough for lunch tomorrow for one of us to take to work too.
We are aiming to cut down on bread and are a little bored of taking sandwiches to work. Is there more than sarnies?

I always seems to struggle taking healthy food to work and I am often out of the door by 0600 am so don't want to be faffing around making stuff.

I spent yesterday evening batch cooking and using lots of veg to stretch the meat. I made a chicken chasseur using two chicken breasts and bulked it out with onions, mushrooms and diced new potatoes. That made two big meals. I then used one chicken breast to make a green Thai curry, again onions and mushroom and boiled some dried noodles to serve with. Three lunches to take to work. I also made a ragu from a packet of reduced mince, using onions, mushrooms and tinned tomatoes. I added a splash of chill sauce and served mixed into pasta shells-three lunches.

I am definately going to try to keep topping up these lunch meals by bulk cooking and freezing in Tupperware.

Who else takes lunches to work? Do you take more than sarnies?

Much love. X
