Food for Work

I work evenings, so I have to make dinner to take to work, or buy some limp salad from the health place that's on my way to work, seriously, those people cannot make good chicken salad if their lives were at stake, so I open my fridge and yeah... this is what the result is, with recipes and yes, I do indulge when making food for work.



Roasted Garlic, Parmesan and Butter Potatoes

-potatoes, I had the small red ones, sliced into 4 pieces each, leaves the skin on, I used about 1 lbs/0.5 kg of potatoes
-butter, 2-4 tablespoons, melted
-garlic, I used one cloveless garlic, roughly dice
-1-2 tablespoons Parmesan, freshly grated (it's a must to have at all times)
-tiny bit freshly grated pepper

Pre-heat oven to 180°C/ 360°F, mixed everything together, place on backing sheet and cook for 25-30 minutes or until it starts to look ready, this is for two as a side dish, or one if it's dinner, I serve it with a sour cream-leak-garlic mix.


Fruit Salad with Ham, Parmesan and Cherry Tomatoes














-Fresh salad, what ever type you like best, about 2 handfuls
-2-3 strawberries
-1 slice pineapple
-1 slice honey dew melon
-1 tablespoon Parmesan
-3-4 cherry tomatoes
-1 tablespoon Parmesan
-Ham (paper cut) or Carpaccio, about 5-8 slices

Mix, or arrange together however you want, I like balsamic vinegar or a little bit of olive oil on my salad, but it's pretty good on its own, also, I just used what I had in the fridge, I've done this salad as well with honey crisp apples, oranges, watermelon, grated carrots, bell peppers (red, I only use red, it's a thing...)


...and for desert, I had some tiramisu in the back of the fridge that I'm taking with me to work, with strawberry slices, and serves with water, I like drinking flavorful things with water, that way the drink doesn't alter the taste of the food, sometimes sparkling water with lemon, but mostly water, if I were have junk food, it would be Pepsi (sugar free) or Mountain Dew (it's evil).


Until next time
