Domestic Goddess: Packed Lunches @ VCA

Ellya Sam:

Students live on tight budgets. So, packing lunches from home is always the option Mealor and I go for  when we go to uni. Here is my weekly packed lunch. :)

Monday Blues:

Chicken and Avocado sandwich

I prepare this the night before for a quick get-away the next morning when I head off to uni. It's as easy as assembling half an avocado and boiled chicken (shredded after) in between two wholemeal toasts. Drizzle that with some Kewpie Japanese Mayo and you're good to go. Also, I would totally crack some pepper on that. ;) I leave this overnight in the fridge and bring it to uni the next day! Easy as.

Tired- ass Tuesday:

Ham Avocado Salad Wrap

I use the Mission lite wraps and top it with 3 slices of honey- baked ham, fresh garden salad, tomatoes and the other half of the avocado from the day before. Again, with my trustee Kewpie, I wrap and I'm good to go!

 Wednesday hump- day:

Salmon, avocado and cream cheese on toast.

Another yummy favourite. To last me for my longest day of the week, I have here some slices of smoked salmon, a FULL avocado and some generous amounts of cream cheese on a multigrain toast. :) Yum!

 Thursday almost-there:

Indomie with egg and cracked chilli

I take advantage of the fact I start late on Thursdays. Well, not late, but like an hour later. Which is a huge deal. Dont judge meh.

Ah, the indomie. My go- to lazy food. How I prepare my indomie isn't that spectacular, really. Standard procedure of boiling a pot of water and dumping the noodles in the pot. I then prepare my condiments that will mix with my noodles later on. I put everything in my bowl from the packet of indomie. The salt powder, oil, chili and dark sauce. I then add an extra teaspoon of cracked dried chilli and wait for my noodles to reach the al-dante stage. ;) I strain my noodles and then dump them onto my bowl on top of my condiments. 

I like to leave the noodles in there to soak up the powder and oil and also, I find it mixes better when I leave the hot noodles in my condiments for a while before mixing it. 

Anyway, then I get onto my egg. I crack a nice large egg onto my tiny fry pan and cook it till the whites have turned solid. I add a bit of cayenne  pepper and serve it on top of my noodles. I bring this to school in a microwavable container and reheat it during lunch. :)

 Fat- food Friday:

Nutella on toast.

Such a classic. I love nutella in tubs however, I always find myself digging my spoon into the huge tubs whenever I need my fix. VERY bad. So, I found a solution. These 20g packets are the way to go! It keeps me in control of my portions.

Hope this gives you a few ideas on what to bring to school for lunch! :)

As always...
