#448 – Smoky Noodles and Veg Lunch

It’s been a good long while since there was a new blog post around these parts and even longer since there was a packed lunch. This year I want to get back to sharing my packed lunches here with you. I’m going to start slowly. I’m out of practice so it’ll be almost like starting from scratch. I hope you’ll stick with me as I find my blogging feet again.

#448 - Smoky Noodles and Veg Lunch

This meal, as with most of my packed lunches, is basically leftovers from dinner the night before. It was meant to be a chicken noodle stir-fry. But the chicken I had waiting in the fridge had crossed over to the dark side. So I bumped up the veggie content and added roasted cashews for some varied texture and sriracha chilli sauce for some flavour.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Smoky stir-fried noodles,
  • steamed sugar snap peas, rainbow carrots and broccoli,
  • crushed roasted cashew nuts,
  • some sriracha and
  • two nectarines cut into quarters.

#438 – Plum Chicken Lunch

#438 - Plum Chicken

Wow, I can’t believe it has been nearly five months since my last blog post. How absolutely shocking! They say time flies when you’re having fun, but I can’t say that these past few months have been that exciting. Maybe it’s just a sign that I’m getting a bit older? My return has been somewhat inspired by an invitation to a bloggers get together being organised by the lovely Betty Bake and Being Brazen. The invitation got me thinking, if I want to be thought of as a blogger then I should blog right? So, I’d like to renew my blogging license and here is a blog post to prove it.

Today’s Lunch:

  • Chicken cooked in a sticky plum sauce,
  • stir-fried carrot, courgette, mange tout, spring onion and fresh corn kernels and
  • egg noodles.
