Brown Bagging Ideas
In response to Bob's post, I decided to open this topic. ) Whenever I have leftover roast or fried chicken, I shred a few, and throw it into a salad mix for work the next day. I find that I'm generally alert throughout the afternoon afterwards! 1. Salad mix in one Tupperware 2. Shredded chicken pieces in a plastic bag (to top when ready to eat) 3. Salad dressing in a small travel type lotion bottle I usually have my own pre-mixed salad in a big Tupperware so I don't have to slice and dice every night. CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE SALAD mixed herbal greens with iceberg lettuce red bell peppers (diced) celery (diced) green onions (sliced) cucumber (sliced) peanuts & wonton strips - optional shredded leftover chicken DRESSING (or use store-bought Miso-Sesame Dressing) 2 TBS white sesame seeds* 1 TBS sesame oil 1 TBS regular oil 2 TBS rice vinegar 2 TBS red miso 1 TBS sugar 1 TBS finely minced fresh ginger root 1 TBS finely minced green onion 1/2 TBS water or chicken stock (to thin out dressing a bit - to taste) 1/4 tsp rayu (hot chili oil) *Toast 1/2 TBS of white sesame seeds in dry pan. Grind the rest in a mortar. Combine and mix all in a bowl, and store in fridge. I would love to hear other people's ideas! |

Eg. yesterday I brought a piece of tomato pie (a type of pizza) and a plum. By the time I got home I was famished and ate too much! I need to spend some time planning lunches. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself! |

(snippety) > I would love to hear other people's ideas! I can't quite call what I did "brown bagging" since it was either previously frozen and, as Siobhan said, left to thaw on my desk only to be popped into the microwave later, or a soup I'd prepared and taken in a container to be heated up. Now see, with your leftover roasted or fried chicken, I'd just have put a couple of pieces in a rubbermaid container with some green beans or potatoes or rice and heated it up in the microwave. I'm just not a salad or cold food person. I cooked lots of food on weekends - still do, in fact. Then I'd freeze bits of what was left - meatloaf, chicken or pot roast, for example. Or I'd take the leftover fixings for tacos and the scent of the re-heated spiced meat would draw a crowd This one guy used to hover around my desk (which really annoyed the crap out of me) asking what I'd brought for lunch. Go get your own! Word of advice: fish doesn't go over well in an office environment If you don't like your co-workers, be sure to reheat some salmon patties and wave them around their general vicinity. LOL Jill |
