I need inspiration. Eat meat and fish. Not great at eating a wide variety of veg (bad, i know) will likely have to go to the shop as not a lot in. Would like a big fat greasy takeaway but have neither the waistline or the funds.

I’m finally making one of the gazillion meals I’ve saved on insta. Looks easy.

Here you go. I didn’t have German style mustard but my German friend said to sub with Dijon. Serving with a salad.

Stuffed vine leaves topped with minty chickpeas and soft cheese.

I was pruning my grapevine and found out the leaves are edible, seemed a shame not to use them when I was cutting some off anyway. Much nicer than tin/jar vine leaves IMO.

I’m having home made salmon tagliatelle with extra mushrooms. 🍝

Tagliatelle with tuna, peas and cheese. A student dinner I’m still eating, 40 years on.

Chicken stir fry with coriander and chilli noodles and sweet chili sauce with a fried egg and sesame seeds on top plus some kimchi on top!

Don't want to rain on anyone's parade but my cheese on toast was brilliant.

Warburton's thick toastie bread, medium cheddar, pepper, few splashes of worcestershire sauce.
