New Year and another go at finding myself something to eat at work for lunches which won't aggravate my IBS... anyway I have been eating a lot of baked spuds recently so I thought this would be a good start!

Now I just need filling ideas????

I have a microwave at work and a kettle but that's about it. Obviously I can bring stuff from home already prepared, so please help with some suggestions!

I don't normally *fill* my jacket spuds, but have them with something.

My favourite is with a tin of tuna and peas, which I was introduced to when I met Mark. So, not sure about why a filling per say.

Could you just take accompaniments with you...tuna, cheese, chicken (that you've cook and marinaded in your sweet chilli sauce), butter of course.

Any variation with cheese is always my first choice. I do like a mixture of grated cheddar/stilton-gives it an extra oomp.
Small tin of beans.
Bacon (pre cooked and chopped), brie, and cranberry
Egg mayonnaise
Tuna, sweetcorn, finely chopped onion
Coronation chicken
Sausage, mushroom and tomatoes

My fav is baked beans and cottage cheese and I sometimes add some grated cheddar on top too.

I also really like to use leftover veg ratatouille / casserole, or bolognese sauce / meatballs with some cheese grated on top.

I cook my potatoes in the microwave at work for lunch, but I prefer them baked in the oven.

Laura,if it's not too much of a fiddle, bake your pots at home in the oven, and then reheat for a few mins in the microwave at work. It's not as good as completely done in the oven, but much nicer than purely microwaved. I do a batch-say 4 or 5 at a time this way, as I too could eat a b/pot everyday at lunchtime so this saves on the fuel too. I also have a pot. baker-a 4 pronged stand, which cuts down cooking time.

Baked sweet pots are lovely too-but don't overcook, as it ruins them.

Thanks for the idea... I suppose there are many different things I can put with a baked spud! I would have tuna tomorrow but I gave my last tin to the cat when he came home on Friday...

Well yesterday I had cottage cheese with chives & onions with my jacket spud, although the microwave here at work is naff and it took 8 minutes to cook the thing!

Today I have a couple of cumberland sausages with sweet chilli sauce, looking forward to that in an hour or so! q12

I think something with grated cheese tomorrow.
