What have you eaten today? Part 2

[AwkwardSquad]

Shiny new thread, continuing from here

A diary thread for our daily meals, to record, share, glean menu inspiration and chat, but no judging each other’s food choices.

Breakfast - coffee.

Lunch - Thick slice of bread with lemon curd and cream cheese, small handful of jelly beans.

Dinner - chicken breast flattened with the tenderiser and breaded, mashed potatoes, green beans, peas and a bit of cauliflower cheese.

Dessert - scoop of rum and raisin ice cream in a waffle cone.

Snacks - 2 satsumas.

I seem to be absolutely ravenous all the time at the moment, struggling not to over eat! Has anybody else ever experienced this?

@AwkwardSquad how did you cook your tofu? I’ve tried it a couple of times but haven’t been able to enjoy it so far!

Breakfast - Orange and apple

Lunch Parsnip and apple soup. It was gorgeous (no cream as it was vegan). With a chunk of malted bread. Was in a very naice cafe

Ooops

Dinner was salad with goats cheese.

Snack. Large piece of Victoria Sandwich cake with fresh strawberrys. And lots of satsumas throughout the day

I seem to be absolutely ravenous all the time at the moment, struggling not to over eat! Has anybody else ever experienced this?

I go through phases like that too. You could try upping your protein?

I roughly followed the recipe on the thread a while back. I used Cauldron firm tofu and squeezed out a lot of the excess liquid, then broke it up with a potato masher. Sautéed chopped onion, garlic, chilli till lightly golden with light olive oil and a bit of smoked rapeseed oil for extra flavour. Added minced ginger, cumin, turmeric. Chopped chargrilled peppers from a jar. Added the tofu, gave it all a good stir and cooked till hot through, pressing down to give it a bit of a crust. Squeeze of lime and some za’atar (eccentric mix of spices and flavours but it seemed to work!).

But I do actively like tofu so I was predisposed to like this - if you’re not really a fan, I’d probably not bother. Lots of other lovely things to eat!

Good idea, Thank you I think I’m going to have to write a meal plan for the next 2 weeks as next week DC and me are all off and will be doing lots of fun things and no doubt I’ll be very hungry!
The tofu recipe sounds delicious but you’re right, maybe I’ll give it a skip. I was vegan for a while so really wanted to like it but I just couldn’t unfortunately!

DP ate my pistachio nuts 😠 think it's time to LTB!! Can't even have toast as the bread knife is in the dishwasher. Had some banana bread but still hungry and there's not much else here to snack on.

Nutty oh no!! I hate it when that happens.

@AwkwardSquad no I’ve not tried them, I’ll buy a bag when I next pass the co-op! Salt and vinegar are mine and youngest ds’s favourite!

I have to confess and add on a jam doughnut and a coffee as an evening snack .
Popped to the shop at a lucky time and bought lots of yellow sticker food including a huge tray of chicken breasts for 89p, huge tray of diced pork for 64p and a load of different fresh fish fillets for 50p each!
The doughnuts were reduced down to 20p so I couldn’t turn them down
