While I’m currently in Mallorca on my fall holiday, I’m thinking of all the people that are now at work or working from home. I’m considerate like that. Because just before I made this awesome Home Office Lunch that’s perfect for this time of the year and I wanted to share it with you.

For those who are following for a longer time: I had this series of recipes for (Home) Office Lunches. Back when I started working as a freelancer. I haven’t done one for quite some time. Due to the circumstances that I had hardly any time to prepare a healthy meal and when I had I revisited old recipes I shared here already.

So now this. It’s easy and healthy – so the perfect fuel for a creative day.

Now that I’m looking at this pictures and recall the taste, I’m wondering why I’m not cooking more often for myself at lunch. Oh, I know why. Because I forget to buy ingredients and then I don’t have anything at home.

Maybe I should get more organized and by more stuff in advance. It’s crazy how much healthier I eat and how cheaper it is if you make your own lunches. Also I don’t get that tired in the afternoon. The benefits are there. But then I’m lazy and uninspired and don’t follow up on my resolution.
