Cooking in the Office

[Jay]

I no longer bring my own lunch from home to work. My boss and one of my colleagues are both trying to lose weight and they hired me to be their so called Chef. So now I cook in the office!

I've been cooking in the office since early July. Our pantry is now completed with not only a microwave but a bread toaster, a small (hot plate) electric stove and a sandwich maker. We also have a cheese slicer in the office! It's a godsend. It saves my time to slice cheese, garlic and onion.

Anyway if you guys have simple quick healthy recipes, please do share with me as I would like to try it out. I don't and can't cook anything complicated in the office though as I only have an hour to prepare a meal.

Above: Self-made Mashed Potatoes with Self-made Mushroom Sauce. I had to prepare the mashed potatoes at home though as I had to use a kitchen blender to smooth up the texture of my potatoes.

Above: Ah! My homemade-I-Have-No-Idea-What-To-Call-It-As. It was basically Roasted Minced Chicken marinated and blended with White Eggs, Avocado, Herbs, Mangoes, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Walnuts. My colleagues said it was good. It was sweet and tender.
