Quick lunch ideas

Hello!

I am a preschool teacher and really struggle with eating a decent lunch at work, and am paying for it! I struggle to get enough time to get through anything too complex as I get interrupted a lot eating with the kids. Any ideas about pre made or easy lunches which actually have enough time keep me going?

Yes, we do what ChiWren does. When you cook double the amount for dinner, you can put part of in the fridge for lunch the next day and part of it in a container in the freezer for those busy days that you can’t get dinner ready on time. It takes away a lot of stress.

Bibigo chicken dumplings. Oh my goodness we all love love love them. From my grumpy pop to the neighbours. The kids love them with tomato sauce. Others like them by themselves. Everyone should try before you judge and I am convinced there’s no one I know that wouldnt like them 👏

Make extra of whatever you have for dinner and take it the next day. That’s what we do and it makes the mornings much easier than having to organise food, and you’re guaranteed to have something filling. I get most of my recipes from Nagi, her Nando’s chicken rice is quick to make and easy to add extra veg to
