Bento-style Friday

This post features the Lunch on the Go lunch box by Fit & Fresh. You can buy the Lunch on the Go lunch box from my Amazon store. Jac didn’t need a packed lunch last Friday, so I only had to worry about myself. My lunch was vegie pasta stir-fry, beef sausage and strawberries. I’d […]

Bento-style Thursday

The weather continued to be shocking towards the end of last week (and it’s been terrible this week too!), so I decided to bring lunch on Thursday to avoid having to go out in the rain to get food. In my lunch box: garden salad, soy and garlic snow peas and cubes of juicy seedless […]

Bento-style Wednesday

Last Tuesday night, Jac rubbed a couple of skinless, boneless chicken thighs in lemon pepper and panfried them. On Wednesday morning it was a simple matter for me to pop them into our lunch boxes. I’d been in the mood for potato salad, so when Jac baked potatoes for our chicken roulade dinner, I asked […]

Birthday morning tea and lunch

I didn’t bring lunch on Tuesday because we were going out to celebrate JC’s birthday. But the feasting began before lunch, with a delicious morning tea JC brought in for everyone. She’d made this Tim Tam cheesecake (read about Tim Tams at the manufacturer’s site and Wikipedia entry). She was very apologetic about the brown […

I packed cherry tomatoes, a green salad of mixed lettuce, green beans, snowpeas and cucumber, a couple of Arnott’s Snack Right Sultana Slice biccies, and a couple of chicken and mayo rolls. The bread and some of […]

Chicken roulade dinner

Thanks, everyone, for all your concerns regarding my recent injury. I am still not quite 100% but am no longer limping around. A bruise has developed, but in a weird way I’m a little disappointed – it’s really not as spectacular a bruise as I’d expected from the pain! Not that I’m complaining. :) And […]

Weekend food

Now that the weekend has come I thought I’d better hurry up and tell you guys about last weekend’s food before I start working on this week’s photos. Jac spent Saturday with her mum and her niece and nephew. She packed up a picnic lunch – a thermos of coffee for mum and herself, raspberry […]

Friday night chicken dinner

Jac went out for dinner with friends last Friday night. I wasn’t going along, so Jac grabbed a supermarket barbecue chook on her way home for me to have for dinner. I was stoked that the chicken came with stuffing (that mystery “thing” you see on the right hand bottom “corner” of the plate). I […]
