So in an effort to eat healthy, I'm taking a packed lunch to work. The theory being that's the best way to know exactly what is in what I'm eating. I like to keep my bread intake right down, so sandwiches are out. My current meal of choice is: Boil up some brown basmati, add some steamed veggies, a can of chopped tomatoes, sea salt or worcester sauce for taste (add some tinned tuna if I'm feeling extravagant), then pour the mixture into containers and 'jobs a good un', three or four lunches in the fridge.
However, I know me and WILL tire of having the same thing too many times, so I thought I'd come on here and see if you guys had any suggestions for some tasty bento fillers?
The criteria:-
1 - Must be healthy (natch)
2 - Must be filling!
3 - Must be 'make ahead'-able (I'm not into cooking at 5am)
On a side note, I was pondering getting a 'food flask' so I could microwave the above concoction and eat it hot. Anyone any experience with those things? How well do they keep stuff hot?
Cheers!
