Lunch boxes have become a huge deal in my house. It used to just be me on my lonesome trying to be good and healthy and save a bit of money. Then The Boyfriend decided he quite liked the look of what I was making and then The Step-Daughter decided she didn’t like school dinners….

The Saucepot’s Lunchbox: Mediterranean Veggie Grains with Ham & Blue Cheese
If you’ve read my recent grilled tuna recipe, you’ll know that I’ve recently become quite a big fan of alternative grains. For years and years rice has been the only one on our radar, with the occasional bit of cous cous. I’m still a big fan of rice, risotto being one of my staple midweek dinners,…
Tortilla Pizzas
Do you ever get a bit bored of sandwiches and soup for lunch options? I do. On a rainy Sunday recently I had an array of wraps and rolls that could do with using up, a variety of salad and sandwich fillings and just really didn’t fancy another same old sarnie. It was a bit…
The Saucepot’s Lunchbox: Tuna & Bean Mix
Continuing with the return of The Saucepot’s lunchbox, this week things have gotten a little more fishy. One of the biggest struggles I have is coming up with new ideas for lunches and not getting bored of it by the end of the week. When you’ve bought a load of tortilla wraps, salad and fillers…
The Saucepot’s Lunchbox: Chicken, Sweet Potato & Houmous Wrap
I haven’t done lunchbox post in absolutely forever. Many because I’ve been naughty and lazy and started going out to buy lunches while I was at work. This is not so good for the purse strings and depending on where I’m working sometimes the most exciting option is a pretty limp Tesco’s sandwich, whilst some…
Broccoli & Stilton Soup
Let’s face it we all live very busy lives and many of us work long hours and there’s not always time to do loads of cooking in the evenings when you’ve also got washing to sort out, cleaning to do etc. Sometimes you just can’t beat the convenience of a ready meal. However, your ready…

Ponti’s Italian Kitchen, Oxford Circus
Having had a little time off work lately, one day I decided to treat myself to a day out shopping in the West End. I took a little break from my hard days shopping to meet my sister for lunch and was delighted to have somewhere new to try when she told me to meet…
BBQ Leftover Mediterranean Salad Lunchbox
I haven’t done a lunchbox for a little while, partly because out of laziness I’ve not been taking a packed lunch every day and have made quite a few trips to Pret/EAT at lunchtime of late, but also because when I have been making packed lunches they’ve been a bit repetitive and the same as…
Chicken & Cheese Wrap Lunchbox
Wraps area fantastic way of using up leftovers. I had a big family barbecue the weekend before I made this lunch and therefore had all sorts of odd bits leftover. The sausages went towards a Monday night dinner with salad, the burgers broken up to make meatballs with a tomato sauce and I shredded up…
