This weekend we had friends over for dinner, and I'm bringing some leftovers to work today. Here we have "Dampfnudeln", a kind of German bread dumplings that are cooked over steam. In Germany they are usually served in a sweet way, for example with a fruit filling and vanilla sauce, but I always follow a savoury recipe with cheese filling and tomato sauce.
My afternoon snack is a piece of the crumbly yet delicious homemade cake with nuts and pineapple that our friend brought as dessert.
I also prepared a sandwich with potato spread, dried tomatoes and avocado as a midmorning snack, accompanied by raw kohlrabi.

Tomato Soup and Microwave cake
I'm not super-original lately, I'm tired of trying out new recipes and often reach for my favourites.
Here we've got a Mediterranean tomato soup which I made because we had too many tomatoes and some leftover bread, which are both key ingredients for this recipe.
My dessert was a microwave cake. I tried this one for the first time because we just bought the microwave a couple of months ago. For this you mix some basic ingredients in a pot and put it in the microwave for two or three minutes. Mine has not turned out perfectly, it was a bit soft on the outside and hard on the inside, I'll see if I try this again.
My midmorning snack was delicious, though - I had toast rolls with a filling of (very finely chopped) fried pumpkin with pumpkin seeds and garlic. Yummy! I brought some radishes as well.

Arroz a la cubana
For this lunch I made a dish that's very popular here, it's called "Arroz a la cubana", which means "Cuban rice". It's basically rice with fried tomato passata (which can be bought already prepared) and a fried egg. It's not the most healthy thing in the world, but nice from time to time.
As snacks I brought some grapes and a leftover piece of chocolate-pear cake.

Quinoa Salad and a Sandwich
For this lunch I brought my beloved quinoa salad by Poor Girl eats well:

I also made a grilled sandwich with homemade vegan cheese (which was kind of okay, nothing more) and brought one of the vegan lemon cupcakes I made for my birthday.
Actually for my birthday on the day before I had prepared a whole picknick basket with nice things, but then I unfortunately forgot to make a photo.
