Pretty well anything goes if it is on bread from our breadmaker.
Wifey knocks up various types of flour mixtures with rolled oats, seeds, chilli powder, malt etc.
Commercial breads taste nothing like the home made loaf.
cheers

no, you are right. I used to have a bread maker but i was making the mixes and we would never eat enough and it would go to waste.

Now we have the young bloke we go through quite a bit of bread so might be worth looking into getting another one.

Hi,
let the bread cool, and cut it with an electric knife, place same size pieces of wax paper between the slices and put the 'sliced' loaf into the freezer in a plastic bag. (easy to separate the slices this way)

Or

freeze the whole loaf (in a plastic bag) till nearly solid, then cut it with a substantial sharp knife.
You can get very fine slices this way - goes further and is better for the waistline.

I get a week's lunches from a loaf, along with the odd crust (fresh from the freezer - just microwave defrost) with home made soup, or eggs on toast etc for a light evening meal or weekend snack.

cheers

Do you want sandwiches yuu can just quickly whip up, or are you prepared to put in some serious effort !?

If the later I have made a couple of "pressed sandwiches" that are excellent - especially for picnics - but would be great and do you a couple or three meals on shift work !

A few suggestions from a "short term" shift worker! (well 15 years is not that long really)
a. Make spag bol and stir fry's( start with kan-tong satay , sweet n sour etc and move on to more complex stuff) with 3-500 grams extra beef/chook/pork (+ some crushed garlic in all to enhance smell/ flavour next day) so left overs for main next day. Also put 1-200 ml water in the jar after you have tipped out the sauce onto stirfry/spag , shake(put lid back on of course) and pour on top, this will give you extra sauce at the end to soak into your rice/ pasta
b. For winter BEG borrow or steal a slow cooker to make stew's , corned beef, lamb shanks etc ANYTHING done in a slow cooker tastes even better reheated in 2 days ( again add extra as these can last several days or be frozen for future shifts) You or your partner can put the slow cooker on low in the morning around 6-10am and it will be ready when you wake after 8hrs cooking.

One thing If you want to sleep well during the day try not to eat after midnight or only have a very light snack, I have found this to work well for me.
