Today I had the most amazing home made lunch

- thick red lentil and veg soup (loaded with cardamom and curry herbs, so fragrant!)
- mediterranean salad (grilled eggplant, capsicum, olive, Fetta, sundried tomato, spinach, fresh basil)
- soy ice cream with maple syrup
- brewed alcoholic ginger beer x2

You?

Like some ideas !

Oh wow, SunChild, when can I visit you?

I had stuffed tomatoes and peppers with potatoes in the oven. It's normally a summer season dish but the chef is nuts so...

Pita pocket bread cut in half

Mixed greens
diced tomatos, red, yellow & green peppers
sliced red onion
mushrooms
black olives
cheese
mayo

stuff it into the pockets after mayo-ing the inside and laying down cheese

then bake on 400 for about 5-7 minutes or until you see cheese is melted.

So delish. I eat these often and do prefer mine warmed up like that because it slightly toasts the bread and melts the cheese.

also good in a wrap.

Yummy!
You can add broad beans and even cooked rice in them and make them a fake tortilla lunch.
Thanks for the idea!

Had meatloaf today. Mine is better, but they did an okay job at the restaurant.
