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.

B: muesli with banana, toast and marmite, black coffee, swig of orange juice.
Brunch when DN came over: avocado and feta on sourdough toast, marinated tomatoes, dried fruit salad, Greek yogurt, black coffee.
Mid-afternoon: tea, some milk chocolate.
Supper: mini bruschettine with tapenade, celeriac, orange and saffron soup, leftover paella, Brussels sprouts (strange combination!). Tea and a chocolate biscuit.
I must make some more mince pies soon! Maybe tomorrow.

B: porridge with blueberry compote and almonds
L: turkey, brie and cranberry toastie with salad. A Clementine and a mince pie.
D: gammon steak, fried egg, homemade chips, tomatoes and peas. Glass of white wine.

B: 3 scrambled eggs, Champagne truffle from my advent calendar
L: Plain salad of iceberg, Chinese leaf, tomatoes, cucumber, sugarsnaps and orange pepper, with thigh meat from a roast chicken.
S: Two satsumas. Might have some raisins in a bit.
D: (Later tonight) Half-white, half-wholewheat pasta, in a sauce with garlic, a splash of cream, Parmesan and lardons.

Yesterday was a bit all over the place as I had a big breakfast and dinner so tried to reign it in at lunchtime.

B: avocado, black beans and poached egg with feta and toast.

L: slim fast shake

D: veggie burger and chips

S: mince pie and a stollen bite, glass of red wine.

D: lasagne and peas

S: probably a mince pie and glass of wine later

B - muesli, flaxseed, kiwi, yoghurt
L - chickpea and freekeh salad made with preserved peppers, olives, fried onions, fried pumpkin seeds and spices, dressed with walnut oil and pomegranate molasses, with beetroot salad, mixed leaves, cucumber and radishes
Two oat molasses cookies
Some crunchy Italian twisty little breadstick things (can’t remember what they’re called)
D - small baked potato with a bit of butter, veggie chilli, grated cheese, roast wedges of savoy cabbage
Contemplating some marzipan chocolates in a while

Nothing

I could do with gaining half a stone so need to increase calories somewhere.

B: waffle with berries and maple syrup, bowl of natural yoghurt
L: MIL made a roast chicken dinner with carrots, parsnips, peas, potatoes and gravy. Pudding was some meringue thing with berries and cream.
D: beans & cheese on toast, an apple.

I'll have some chocolate later and perhaps a small glass of wine. Liquid calories

Had a big brunch at 1130.
Mushrooms, beans grilled tomatoes, scrambled tofu, facon, hash browns, toast, 2 cups of tea, 2 glasses oj.
Only just eaten again
Smoked tofu salad wrap with vegan coleslaw.

@Nuttyaboutnutella could you add more nuts and peanuts to your daily food intake? High calorie but good nutritionally. And tasty too

@Nuttyaboutnutella I'm in the same boat!

B- big bowl of porridge with cooked plums
L- costa ham and cheese toastie
S- banana, mini mince pie
D- chow mein ready meal - we thought we might be late back from a gathering but weren't but still felt lazy!
S- advent chocolate, gingerbread spiced rum and diet coke, 2 crumpets with marmite.

AwkwardSquad you mean taralli? They're very tasty, aren't they?
B: porridge, toast and marmite, black coffee.
Later: tea.
L: sausages, jacket potato with grated cheddar. Couple of segments of orange.
Supper: celeriac, orange and saffron soup, slice of toast.
Late evening: tea, toast and marmite.

2 mugs of Yorkshire tea with semi skimmed milk.

A bacon sandwich on wholemeal with tomato ketchup. An apple.

A black coffee and 2 digestive biscuits.

Half a spinach pizza. Green salad, green olives, roasted red and yellow pepper quarters stuffed with roasted cherry tomatoes, some hummus and carrot sticks. Small glass of chilled dry sherry and a glass of Orvieto.

Awkward Squad good idea. I add almonds to porridge but could definitely eat more nuts. I love pistachios and walnuts so will pick some up next time I go shopping.

Onlyhereforthefood join me in eating lots of delicious cakes and wine 😂 I had my picture taken yesterday and my face looks thin and haggard so could definitely do with plumping it up a little

B: smoothie

L: cheese sandwich and a packet of crisps

D: spaghetti and meatballs made in my new instant pot....I'm already in love!

S: had a chocolate bourbon and cup of tea at a baby group this morning and will have my advent chocolate later.

B- mince pie flavoured porridge with almond milk and a handful of raisins
L- costa spiced parsnip soup, pop chips (limited options as town was packed and I was christmas market-ing)
S- 2 lebkuchen, small banana
D- spinach and ricotta tortellini (dipped in ketchup, pure class) and a salad
S- will be an M&S peanut butter bar and something else but I haven't decided what I want yet!

B: bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam, a clementine, lots of tea as my 6 month decided to have an all night rave!
L: spicy butternut squash soup, 2 crackers with cheese and chutney/pickle, a pear
D: homemade sausage roll, chips & beans. And a glass of white wine.

I'm just about to make a hot chocolate and a mince pie with cream then read in bed as the baby is at my mum's overnight

2 mugs of Yorkshire tea with semi skimmed (my standard breakfast).

Roast chicken sandwich on wholemeal bread with a little bit of mayo. Minestrone cup-a-soup.

Another mug of tea.

Home made cottage pie and steamed brussels sprouts.

B: dried fruit salad, granola and yogurt. Toast and marmite, black coffee.
Mid-morning: tea, toasted teacake and butter.
L: ciabatta bacon roll, satsuma.
Mid-afternoon: two mince pies, tea.
Supper: pasta with mushrooms (and far too much cayenne pepper - DP made it and seriously misjudged the amount required!). Brussels sprouts and broccoli.
Later: two more mince pies and a chocolate biscuit. Three small glasses of rosé wine and a cup of tea.

Yesterday-

B: 0% Greek yogurt with a few sliced strawberries and blackberries, with a teaspoon of honey.
L: Chicken salad, M&S salami Milano 'crisps', watermelon
S: Raisins
D: Bunless popped-rice-covered chicken burger and salad with blue cheese.
S: 2 satsumas

Well. Yesterday started well but deteriorated towards the end... bloody bloody trains

B - muesli, flaxseed, kiwi, yoghurt (creature of habit)
L - more of the chickpea and freekeh salad, beetroot salad and some hummus
Then between about 2pm and 9pm, a homemade mini mince pie, a packet of barbecue popchips, a lemon drizzle Nakd bar, two slices of toast with butter, and an oat molasses cookie. Not great.

Today:
B - guess...
L - the last of the chickpea and freekeh etc etc
D - baked potato, veggie chilli, coleslaw, grated cheddar, salad leaf
Probably another cookie in a bit, or some grapes. Or both.

@Bloodybridget taralli! Them’s the things. Very tasty. (Cayenne pepper - so easy to misjudge. We bear the scars)

@Nuttyaboutnutella I love walnuts, we add them to lots of dishes. One nice and easy one, if you like blue cheese - pasta (we use wholewheat penne because the nuttiness works well), blue cheese, toasted walnuts, steamed broccoli.

@Pepperwand you’ve reminded me I have an Advent chocolate 😀

@onlyhereforthefood tortellini in ketchup? Well, it’s technically pasta in a tomato sauce I guess! I used to enjoy cold sliced potato or mash and ketchup sandwiches in my poor student days, I may have to give it a try!

@Nextphonewontbesamsung I also start the day with a couple of mugs of tea, I have had to give up coffee but I will not relinquish tea!

@ringletsandtwiglets popped rice covered? Intriguing - did it work? Sounds like it’d be a good contrast of textures

Oh and half an oat and date slice this afternoon

Breakfast 2 cheese strings
Lunch- banana, apple
Dinner will be a cheese string and a yoghurt

No appetite at the minute

I’ve had,
B- bacon and tomato in a home baked baguette
S- mince pie
L- cool Doritos and nice n spicy niknaks
S- easy peeler and some blueberries
D- might not bother, I don’t feel great, hence the crap food
