Or smoked salmon when on special offer.

The choices are endless at home compared to when I was in school - I couldn't have any nuts there, so no peanut butter. Ploughmans - ham, cheese, apple - is quick and tasty Socca pancakes with stewed fruit Celery filled with peanut butter mixed with cream cheese Porridge - I could eat porridge any day any time with different additions eg peanut butter (there's a theme here...), maple syrup, sultanas Another vote for salad with blue cheese

shyfire Mar 2021 9:56am, 13 Mar 2021 244 posts	0 shyfire Current favourites, pot of soup made at start of the week can do a few days. Endless varieties. Fruit and yoghurt. Leftover curry/pastas from day before. Pitta bread and hummous with some chopped veg crudites (carrots/peppers etc) Quick Tortilla pizza - 1 wrap topped with red or green pesto and some chopped onions, peppers, tomatoes, maybe some spinach and whatever cheese is in the house (feta is good with green pesto + spinach). In oven for about 12 mins. Variation on same theme toasted wraps in george foreman grill - makes lovely crispy pockets filled with cheese and chorizo. Or go really old school and get out the breville machine for a toasted sandwich.
