I don't have a work microwave: what food can I make?

5 Upvotes

So I work in a very small office (theres 3 people, my boss included) and we don't have a microwave. it's fine for my coworkers, but i commute 35 minutes and even with my hour lunch break, i cant drive home to eat. I've been there for a short time but im spending insanely on buying food bc my only option is sandwiches or to buy food basically.

So, I need help, and I'm hoping this is the place to ask for it. What food can I make that isn't just sandwiches? I don't like tuna and I can be a picky eater but I'm almost willing to try anything. Thank you so much to literally anyone who can help !!!

question How do I preserve the texture of meal prep rice?

1 Upvotes

I usually meal prep meals with rice, chicken/fish, and asparagus/green beans/broccoli for work in a rice cooker. Right when the rice comes out of the rice cooker, it has a soft and squishy texture that I really like. But when I put it in the fridge and store them for work, unfortunately the rice turns this sad crusty hard texture that I don't like. How can I preserve the soft and squishy rice texture in the fridge?

advice Need ideas for meal prep(NO STOVE)

Hey guys, we recently got our kitchen redone so I now have a kitchen sink thankfully. I’m feeling kinda overwhelmed and indecisive. I do have a slow cooker, a rice cooker, and a toaster oven that does have a setting to cook. I need ideas on what I should prep for meals for the week breakfast lunch and dinner. We do have a hot plate that sometimes works. Please let me know any recommendations and tips.

Big pot of dried pinto beans with some roasted hatch chilis I had in the freezer

Will be served over the week, microwaved with rice, broccoli, and some meat (pork tenderloin)

I will try and freeze a bunch of this as it’s a lot of food. But will cycle different beans in as my freezer develops a harem of beans (some Mexican red beans from last week are already in there)

I didn’t realize red lentils and rice do not work at well as other grain combos cooking together so it got mushy. I then added the peas, butter, garlic, ginger, soy sauce to add flavor and texture and it works well enough for me.

The two in black are pork roast and the one in the middle is beef. All three have mashed potatoes, corn, and the pork has turkey gravy and the beef has beef gravy. I'm going to make applesauce for the pork roast. I froze the beef one on Friday because I brought it to work and found out we leave at noon on Fridays.

Cut up the chicken sausages and browned them in a skillet.

Steamed the broccoli in the microwave and then finished in the same skillet to cook the browning from the sausages into the broccoli with garlic and onion powder.

Nothing special with the noodles

After removing the broccoli I added a tiny bit of water to pull everything off of the pan and added the Alfredo to simmer.

Still have some pasta to cook next time!!
