Pasta with Pesto and Cabbage Wraps

This lunch wasn't a big success... I brought pasta with pesto, cherry tomatoes and wraps filled with coleslaw. The coleslaw recipe was new to me and kind of meh, so I will try something else next time.

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.

... and a Red One

Lately I seem to be drawn towards thematic lunches, especially those involving colours. Today I had a lot of red things - my lunch were spaghetti with a vegetarian Bolognese sauce and a cherry yoghurt. For second breakfast I brought little vegetable patties with pumpkin, carrots and red cabbage plus a little ketchup for dipping.

A very German lunch

Now, this is a very typical German lunch - potato dumplings with gravy and red cabbage. I have to admit that the dumplings and sauce were convenience products, but I made the cabbage side myself.
I also brought vegetable skewers with fried bread as a snack.
Reality check: To get everything inside the containers, I had to shorten the skewers and cut the potato dumplings in pieces. Here is how the big container looked just before I shut the lid:
