Lentil Soup and Nut Bread

I feel like such a bad blogger, lately I'm just not in the mood to prepare nice lunches for the office, and I often buy something.
For this day I just made a lentil soup and nut bread with lentil spread (so I could empty the jar) and grated courgette. I still had a storebought carrot croquette at the fridge in the office.

Polenta and Pumpkin Goulash

 For this lunch I brought polenta with pumpkin goulash, I still had to urgently use a piece of pumpkin and found this recipe on the internet.
I also brought a little container for a mushroom-tofu filling for my second breakfast - I bought rolls a the bakery before I went to the office.
As an afternoon snack I brought these incredible healty-looking cookies and some early cherries my mother-in-law gave me.

Canneloni and a Sandwich

For this lunch I tried something new, a vegan recipe for canneloni with a vegetable filling.
I also brought a cereal bar, bread with tomato paste and avocado plus some raw kohlrabi. I just love kohlrabi and was so happy to find some at an Indian (Pakistani?) shop. They also had a lot of other strange-looking fruit and vegetable, I suppose I will buy something new next time, it's always nice to broaden one's horizens.

Soup and Tomato Rolls

I finally had time to make a bigger lunch again. Here we have a millet soup accompanied by homemade tomato rolls. I just used my usual recipe for wholemeal rolls, but used a little less water, instead I added tomato paste and also some chopped dried tomatoes and dried fried onions. They turned out delicious, although the taste of the onion was more dominant than the tomato flavour.
As a snack I brought oven champignons with a filling based on bread and some raw vegetables.

Tofu on bread

Oops, another lunch with a sandwich. That was not what I had planned, I had made a bell pepper-tofu-filling that I usually use for pita bread, but there was none left, so toast it was.
I also brought a Mediterranean courgette roll, filled with dried tomates, an olive and an almond. Wasn't there a joke in an Asterix comic about the Romans eating a cow filled with pork filled with lamb filled with pheasant filled with hare filled with squab? Well, this would be the vegan version.
The smoothie that I brought as a snack (with grapes and kiwi, among other things) tasted a lot better than it looked.

Travel Provisions

I visited my family in Germany during the long weekend and could not get a direct flight, so I planned a lot of food for my morning on planes and airports.
I usually bring similar stuff, this time I had energy balls made of cocoa, dates and nuts, vegetarian pigs in a blanket, some cherry tomatoes and sandwich with a chickpea filling. Lots of proteins here!
I usually buy a bottle of water or a smoothie once I've passed the security check.

Potato Stirfry and Tomato Soup

Hhhhmm, this was so nice. I made an Italian potato stirfry - not photogenic but yummy - and accompanied it by a tomato soup. The soup was a convenience product, but the recipes for the potatos and my snack - puff paste with a chocolate-nut-filling - were from a German cookbook with vegan Italian recipes:
Cucina vegana by Heike Kügler-Anger. I'm a big fan of hers and always recommend her books!
