Pasta Salad and Scrambled Egg

 This food was for a day that I didn't go to the office and thus didn't have a microwave, so everything could be eaten cold. As a midmorning snack I had scrambled eggs with fried cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. My lunch was my mother's pasta salad and a storebought mini-gazpacho. Everything was quite yummy!

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.

Couscous with Ratatouille

I prepared this lunch the night before and in a hurry, so I needed things that were easy and fast.
The main dish was couscous with a ratatouille sauce that was a convenience product, I just had to add vegetables and water.
I brought two different things as snacks - first little breadballs with nuts and seeds. They are quite simple - I unfroze a premade pretzel, cut it into pieces and covered those with the nuts, then I put them ten minutes into the oven - ready.
The strange white thing in the photo is a hardboiled egg. I usually don't eat many eggs, but I had bought some Japanese eggformers some time ago and never used them, so I wanted at least to try them. It didn't really work (the egg should look like a star, not like a blob), probably because my egg was too small. I think I'll try again and then I might pass the shapers on to somebody who eats eggs more frequently, maybe my little niece.

Another Asian Lunch

Today I had fried rice with vegetables and omelet plus mixed vegetables fried with garlic and almond slices. For second breakfast I brought little vegan potato snacks that I had baked in the oven, with a bit of ketchup. Yummy!
