Well done @Awkwardsquad, another 3 meals with courgette ⭐️

I chopped up bacon and tomatoes and gently sauteed, adding basil. Then I added (cooked) gnocchi and ate. It was lovely. Now I'm having peach, strawberries and a banana with cream.

L - cheese & pickle roll, hula hoops, chocolate cake
D: chicken tikka skewers, rice and salad

Going to have a lovely glass of red wine once my son decides to go to sleep

MORVEN thank you

I may have planted one or two more courgette plants than strictly necessary this year...

I think I’ll start leaving them on neighbours’ doorsteps early in the morning.

B:Fried egg on seedy toast with fresh coffee
L: Salad with avocado and an apple
D: salmon with veg stir fry and noodles
2 glasses of rose wine

I’m developing a craving for courgette, no idea why....

Breakfast - tuna mayo sarnie on white bread
Lunch - Belvita biscuits ( at work & only 15 min break)
Dinner - southern fried chicken steak with baby potatoes, coleslaw & side salad
A few much needed glasses of white wine!
Will have a double decker later 🙂

Breakfast - bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon

Lunch - chicken and salad

Dinner - steamed salmon, mash, veg

Treated myself to a mini magnum then my husband decided I needed a treat so bought one up open, so had a second then 6 jelly babies after a run!

I don’t usually have salmon twice in a week yet realise I’ve had it twice in a day!

Benjispruce check your doorstep in the morning, you never know, the courgette fairy may visit

(She’s green with yellow wings, and if she’s left too long she swells up into a marrow troll)

(I’ve come over all whimsical, puke)

Bacon roll
Pitta bread with chicken and salad
Packet of french fries and an apple
Grilled chicken with mozerella and tomato, oven chips, salad
2 crumpets with butter and marmite, soya yoghurt

Like shit to be honest. A jam doughnut & a tea cake and butter for breakfast with copious amounts of coffee, a full fry up (2 sausage, 2 bacon, hash brown, 2 large mushrooms, baked beans, toast & butter), then a whole massive bag of paprika max crisps, about 6 chocolate hobnobs, then a sausage sandwich for tea (3 sausages, 2 slices of bread, fried onions). And half a tub of double decker icecream. Plus more coffee.

I am trying so very hard not to make a big thing about it though. I often have binge days like this then will barely eat for days and survive on coffee and 2 slices of toast. Trying to be a better example to my children but most of my eating happens in secret.

Yesterday was much better. Porridge and fruit, chicken salad and a home made chicken chow mien.

I don’t know why my eating is so messed up

Chicken wing with rice
Rock Turbot with chips and hot aivar
Ridge cut crisps
GF Pan con tomate
Chicken with cucumber sticks
GF toast with mandarin oil

AwkwardSquad I'm loving reading your courgette-heavy food diary! How much longer will the glut last, do you think?

Another month, I’d say, Bloodybridget, unless the plants succumb to mildew because of the amount of rain we’ve been having. I’ve just made a fresh batch of courgette muffins and I think I’ll make some sort of courgette and chickpea stew later. And I’ve found a really tasty sounding courgette cake recipe from BBC Good Food that I may try tomorrow.

I knew four plants was too many. But I put them in anyway... I have a surfeit of chard too, need to start doing something with that.

Courgette soup would use up a few, but unfortunately I hate it

Doorstep bare

I rarely buy courgettes because I’m the only one in our house that likes them. Live them chargrilled.

Love them too.

My doorstep is bare too 😭😭😭

I’ve had to go to Lidl and buy courgettes and I’m going to try Keto courgette and cheese muffins. You have inspired me @AwkwardSquad

Now I need to find a muslin.
