L: sausage, egg and tomatoes

D: stir fry veg, cauliflower rice and salmon

Snack : I made gluten free courgette muffins and they were very nice, thank you @AwkwardSquad. Though I should have used more cinnamon and perhaps some nutmeg.

Next week I will try the savoury muffins with cheese.

AwkwardSquad · 12/08/2019 09:17

Excellent, M0RVEN! I’ve found I need to double the amount of spices that the recipe suggests. I put allspice, cinnamon and ginger in the last batch, and some sultanas.

AwkwardSquad · 12/08/2019 18:33

B - muesli, kiwi, yoghurt
Snack - courgette muffin
L - hummus, salads, odds and ends from yesterday
Cherries
D - chickpea and courgette stew with brown rice, yoghurt and herb salsa; rhubarb polenta cake and more yoghurt

Tomorrow will involve considerably less courgette and more frying.

Coffee and grapefruit for breakfast.
Lunch was a jacket potato with tuna and salad and salad cream
dinner was falafel, hummus, salad and a quinoa/feta salad thing from Aldi.
I am trying to have either bread or booze on alternate days (and two days when I have neither) today is a no bread day so far I'll either spoil it in a whirl of gin or have this as my no B day.

I like threads like these because I'm always get inspired to try something new.

I hardly eat breakfast but have a large lunch around 2pm and I graze the rest of the day.

However, I have my three young grandchildren staying with me for a few weeks and I have had to get into the habit of eating throughout the day.

So far today:

Rice Crispies with fresh blueberries and toast
Apples and peanut butter for dipping
Cheese, ham and cucumber sandwich with pretzels on the side
Carrots and celery with a hummus dip
Ice Lolly
Pasta Arrabiata with a side salad
Wine for me once the kids go to bed!
