Hi, poor hubby has pleaded with me to stop with the instant microwavable meals that i have been providing him with for his lunches...i have a miss 9 weeks with me so i havent had the time to make him the usual packed lunch. Any ideas for things i could make in advance for him to take to lunch? He eats on the run at work and often has to put food down and come back to it when he is free, so nothing that will go soggy and ick please. And NO, he is NOT capable of doing this for himself! lol.

My husband has a particular liking for cold sausages wrapped in bread that has first been spread with my homemade tamarillo chutney for his lunch. Tomato sauce on the bread is second choice and mustard comes in after that. lol

pancakes! Toasted sandwiches, thermos of soup. Most things can be prepped then frozen and taken out on the day so he gets a choice:)

My wife makes various pies in the electric pie maker. A good size for lunch. Leftover mince, stew, or casserole from the night before is delicious. Smoked fish is her favourite. She also makes fruit ones, apple, blueberry, rhubarb and apple, blackberry and apple. They cook really quickly and there is no mess.

Buy him a wide neck food thermos heat up leftovers from previous nights meal or prepare something else, if he gets called away pop lid on and come back to it. Soup, cherrios or cut up saveloys tomato sauce, meatballs/ sauce, fish pie, mince, casseroles, etc all good hot food for winter lunches.

Honey Oat Muesli Bars 125g unsalted butter 150g soft brown sugar or light muscovado sugar 125g no-sugar-added crunchy peanut butter 75g honey, plus a little more to finish Finely grated zest of 1 orange Finely grated zest of 1 lemon 200g porridge oats (not jumbo) 150g dried fruit, such as raisins, sultanas and chopped apricots, prunes or dates, either singly or in combination 150g mixed seeds, such as pumpkin, sunflower, poppy, linseed and sesame
1. Grease and line a baking tin, about 20cm square. Put the butter, sugar, peanut butter, honey and grated citrus zests in a deep saucepan over a very low heat. Leave until melted, stirring from time to time.
2. Stir the oats, dried fruit and three-quarters of the seeds into the melted butter mixture until thoroughly combined. Spread the mixture out evenly in the baking tin, smoothing the top as you go.
3. Scatter the remaining seeds over the surface and trickle with a little more honey. Place in an oven preheated to 160°C/Gas Mark 3 and bake for about 30 minutes, until golden in the centre and golden brown at the edges.
4. Leave to cool completely in the tin (be patient - it cuts much better when cold), then turn out and cut into squares with a sharp knife. These bars will keep for 5-7 days in an airtight tin.
This recipe was from River Cottage and I find it delicious and so easy to make

Great suggestions! I might look at a pie maker too, he is VERY partial to the old petrol station pie so this might be an extra special treat for him. Thanks for recipe melford, i will save it for future use.
