One of the perks of working from home is homemade, warm and healthy lunches. I still want it to be fast and easy to prepare, I can’t stand to waste my precious writing hours cooking.
A stir fry is quick and easy, and can use up whatever’s in the fridge. The small amount of oil needed must surely be countered by the lovely fresh vegetables. I prefer to use olive oil or rapeseed oil
I like a combo of coloured peppers, courgettes, onions or leek, mushrooms, tomato puree and whatever else needs using. You could even use cabbage or broccoli. I also like to add some tinned and or fresh tomatoes and fresh herbs towards the end of cooking. You just chop it all up and chuck it in the frying pan. Easy.
Top with a few cubes of crumbled feta cheese (available low fat), a couple of handfuls of tortilla chips (available gluten free) and it’s a healthy delight.
You could finish the meal with a slice of Gluten free Carrot cake or the Ultimate Flapjack.
Of course you may want to keep it healthy and have an Orange Vitamin Shake or a hot cup of Elderberry syrup instead.
But I recommend waiting until Z… That’s a real winner.
Now you’re all set for an afternoon of writing, editing or proofreading (check posts on E & P if you need a helping hand). Good luck.
Do you have any Xtremely healthy lunch ideas?

Warm ratatouille is always a winner in the colder months 🙂 I’m going to try out a few new slow cooker recipes this winter.

I make big batches of ratatouille in the summer with the courgette glut from my garden and freeze for my lunches over winter.
Slow cookers are great, but as I mostly write in the kitchen, smelling the food cooking all day is torture.

Thankfully the kitchen and my workspace are on opposite sides of the house 🙂
