I hardly ever get to have breakfast until its lunchtime, even then I can never figure out something quick and easy to prepare.
What do you have for lunch? I need some ideas.

Those migoreng noodles are addictive, my DP totally loves them , he brought a box of 50 for $14 from an asian grocery shop , so we have tons of packets.
The only problem is theyre so spicy they burn coming out the other end :o :laughing:

Breakfast is usually porridge with prunes (nicer than it sounds, and unfortunatley necessary for me LOL), or on a weekend DP cooks me pached eggs on toast.
Lunch varies, but in a usual week we'll have:
corn fritters with bacon and salad
BLT's
various toasties with cheese and mustard, cheese and pickle, cheese and tomato, cheese and onion etc
soup and toast
caesar salad
tuna salad

Breakfast during the week (I work ft) is fresh fruit (I'm a fruit girl so whatever's in season) with either toast, crumpet and honey, english muffin with pb, bagel with jam, a yogurt or a fruche. Sometimes I'll stew fruit for a change. Glass of juice also.
On weekends sometimes I'll make savoury muffins or pancakes or bacon & egg roll with BBQ sauce or something yummy like that.
Lunch is either leftovers from dinner the night before or a sandwich, wrap, toasted sandwich, baked beans on toast, or a sub with a variety of fillings. I keep salmon, tuna, cold meats, salad stuff, eggs (to boil), tinned pineapple, spaghetti & baked beans, diff spreads in the cupboard so there's always the option to have any of that as toppings).
Sometimes I will have something a bit less healthy like a ham and cheese croissant or a spinach & cheese roll, pizza roll etc. In winter soup and a roll is nice as well.

For breakfast- I usually end up just having half a piece of toast or nothing at all, am usually too busy getting kids ready for school and making lunches.
For Lunch- If i end up eating anything for lunch it will be some avocado and tomato on toast or a cup of soup or a banana.
Not very exciting or healthy come to think of it .

breakfast is egg or baked beans on once slice of multigrain or wholegrain toast, and coffee.
snack a piece of fruit around 10ish.
lunch is tuna/egg/baked bean/ham sandwich with another piece of fruit and a muesli bar or snacky thing for "dessert".
I have to have some protein with every meal or i get the worst sugar and carb cravings and end up bingeing on something bad and then feeling bad.

Breakfast is very boring atm as DS is loving his cereal so we both have organic cornflakes for brekky. We will probably switch to porridge soon though.
When I am a good girl it is either homemade meusli (sp?) or bircher meusli (soaked oats, yoghurt & grated apple! yum)
For lunch - sometimes nothing, or chocolate lol, but curried egg on toast is a fav atm. or toasted cheese and tomato, or leftovers from dinner.

at the moment i have those uncle toby's oats that go in the microwave or toast, in summer i make juices or have something like scrambled eggs or cereal.
then lunch depends if im at work or not, usually subway or sushi if im at work but at home i have egg and lettuce sandwiches or toasted ham, cheese tomato, or rice cakes/ corn thins with philly or cottage cheese. i try to eat fruit everyday too, but i don't always! naughty! DD does though!
Currently for breakfast I eat 3 weetbixs or 2 pieces of toast with jam. For lunch we'll either have leftovers or a toasted ham, cheese, tomato sandwich. Sometimes I'll make up some batches of soup and freeze them along with a bag of bread rolls for a quick and filling meal (especially good since I'm pregnant).

For breakfast I have one of the Uncle Toby's cereals (Sports Lift, Omega 3 Lift, Antioxidant Lift etc) cereal with a banana.
For lunch I have a multigrain sandwich with smoked salmon or smoke trout & salad, or just cheese & tomato if we don't have much in the fridge!
My breakfasts & lunches are pretty much the same every day, so I'm MEGA boring, doesn't really bother me though :p

Breakfast depends on how late we are running. Always a coffee :D Usually I will have a piece of toast or a bowl of porridge but sometimes nothing at all.
Lunch is a ham and salad sandwich, leftovers or migoreng noodles.

Glad i'm not the only one stuck in a toasted-cheese-sandwich habit. :D
I try to add vegies to the Child's diet by shredding up spinach, carrot, zucchini etc and hiding it under the cheese on his toastie. Works a treat. Sadly i cannot say the same of my sambos :no:
I don't eat brekky and most days I don't even have lunch. I like a nice big dinner though :yes:
