Meal Ideas

Some of these meal ideas do not take very long to prepare so if you are in a position to cook before you go to work, you can choose some of these meals. Some are more time consuming e.g. macarconi pie. Therefore I recommend that any meal with this recipe be cooked on the day you do not have to go to work.

Another alternative is to prepare your meals the night before you go to work. You can even have it for dinner and pack some for your lunch the next day. This idea can only work if there is a refridgerator and microwave at your work place.

Why a refridgerator? Well remember the meal was cooked the night before so leaving your container with your lunch at room temperature will spoil the food by the time you are ready to eat.

Why microwave? Now that you have put your container with your homemade lunch, into the refridgerator at your work place, it would be too cold to eat, so all you have to do now is to pop it into the microwave and presto - you have a nice hot meal for lunch!

• Baked Fish
  Every Friday evenings my friends and I would get together for a few beverages and the pub that we would normally 'hang out' served grilled fish and I enjoyed it tremendously. As I don't have a grill, I bake my fish in the oven. For my husband 40th birthday, we invited a few friends to our home and I served this dish. It was a winner with our guests!!
• Avacado Choka and Homemade bread or Coconut Bake
  This dish is quite simple to prepare and not to mention - delicious! It can be eaten for breakfast, as a light lunch or a light dinner - whatever your fancy! Enjoy!!

  This meal was introduced to me by my husband a few years ago. My entire family enjoys it and it is what we call a one pot meal. Oh! I forgot to mention - it does not take long to cook!
