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: pineapple and kale smoothie with soya milk, protein powder, ground almonds, ground linseed
L: baked tofu, ratatouille, puy lentils
D: butter bean stew with leeks, carrots and mushrooms. Nutritional yeast on top.
Snacks : an orange, lots of raw veg, chocolate almond bites from Pret

Shreddies with semi skimmed milk
A packet of crisps
A big triple chocolate cookie
A satsuma and an apple
Katsu chicken curry and rice
A box of maltesers

Not my finest day

@secondaccount the thread isn’t about diet or weight loss or whatever. It’s just for sharing, and a safe space away from the pressure to justify what we eat.

That should say ‘dieting’.

B - muesli, flaxseed, raspberries, yoghurt
L - butternut squash and lentil soup, three plums, half a slice of lemon cake
D - small M&S beetroot and feta salad pot

Currently on a train eating chocolate peanuts

And I had a pot of red grapes. Forgot about those.

Hello all, I've been away on hols with no WiFi (the horror!) so haven't been able to post. Ate lots of nice things while away though! Today was a bit more bog standard:

B - oat crisp, pear
Morning tea - treacle and ginger scone with clotted cream
L - nothing
D - olives and breadsticks, pizza with tuna, red onion and capers, garlic bread, salad, 2 glasses rosé, then some squares of chocolate and a milky coffee.

Breakfast: coffee, tomatoes on a slice of toast with pesto, parmesan and avocado (out) and a green smoothie

Lunch: sausage roll and a rice crispy cake (nutritious!)

Dinner: teriyaki salmon with noodles and veg, a few glasses of wine and a mars bar

Didn’t really eat breakfast, just smacked all morning on raspberries, frozen peanut butter bites, rich tea biscuits and sugar snap peas
L: mixed nut butter and banana on
S: handful of dried peas and a handful of kalamata olives
D: Chana masala and curries quinoa, courgette and kale
2 beers

Hope you had a lovely time, @PrivateSpidey

Now, about these treacle and ginger scones...

The African peanut thing is basically a really nutty sweet potato stew
Very nice.

Yesterday I was out and ate terribly
Two hash browns
A spring roll and samosa
Crisps
Penang tofu and sticky rice

2 x coffees
2 x LM sausages in a wholemeal wrap with ketchup
An apple pie cookie
A bag of hula hoops
A Diet Coke

Out tonight so dinner will be picky party food

B- sourdough toast with butter and Jam. Lots of black coffee

L- bacon roll. Few crisps

Dinner tonight will be chorizo, chicken, lentil red wine stew
Dessert home made rum & raisin ice cream
A nice glass off wine or 2 as well

First day post chemo so not very hungry, and most things taste bad.
B: slice of toast and butter, black coffee
L: 2 eggs scrambled on a slice of toast, half a cup of tea, two prunes.
Supper: there's some baked chicken breast that I thought we could have with a jacket potato, but now I'm wondering if roast potatoes might be more appealing, and some gravy. Savoy cabbage and carrots also possible.

Thanks Awks

Re the ginger and treacle scones - I made them - basic scone recipe but just added some ground ginger (2 tsp I think) and a tbsp treacle - they were quite nice and autumnal!

Today is as follows:
B - muesli, greeek yogurt, strawbs, Vogels toasted with cherry jam
L - tuna salad roll, half sausage roll, pear
D - have made a lasagne so we might have that with garlic bread and salad, or we might go out and have the lasagne tomorrow...

bloodybridget for you

Bloodybridget roasties sound like a good plan 👍

I’m going to give that a go, Spidey

B - muesli, flaxseed, grated apple, yoghurt, maple syrup
Handful of chocolate peanuts
L - pub lunch, had veggie burger with smoked cheese and onion marmalade, sweet potato fries and a couple of onion rings. A few squares of plain chocolate with dried sour cherries.
D - not hungry. Might have a snack in a bit. Possibly sliced apple, a bit of cheddar and a few walnuts.

A bar of chocolate
Several oranges
A block of smoked tofu
A banana

I suppose it could be worse. I need to make some soup, really. Broccoli and cheese.

Getting so many lovely ideas on this thread!

Today's food~
B: scrambled eggs on toast, tea
Crumpet with strawberry jam
L: spicy butternut squash soup, banana, natural yoghurt with stewed apples
D: homemade pizza (with olives, sun dried tomatoes, and mozzarella) with salad, and a glass of red wine

Once kids are in bed, I'll have a couple of squares of dark chocolate and perhaps another small glass of red wine

@lastqueenofscotland that sounds delicious!
@Bloodybridget I hope food tastes good again soon, from me too.
@PrivateSpidey what are vogels? Never heard of them!

Today’s food diary...

Breakfast - 2 slices of marmalade and butter on seeded toast and an iced coffee.

Lunch - tuna and salad seeded wrap, some peppered cashews and a banana.

Dinner - homemade carrot and coriander soup made with a load of carrots I bought in the reduced section for 5p! With some honey and sunflower seed loaf.
Dessert - rum and raisin ice cream in a waffle cone.

Thanks for kind messages and flowers - much appreciated! I do like this thread!

BTW DP had already started jacket potatoes by the time I rolled out of bed, so no roasties

@bloodybridget - pants to no roast potatoes, maybe tomorrow? for every meal!

B- wholemeal roll with 2 rashers smoked bacon
L- jerk chicken, rice and peas from local food festival (shared massive portion with my financé)
S- popchips
D- sesame chicken stir fry with wild rice
S- white chocolate magnum (still to come) and I found a few freddos in the pantry so probably one of them too!

@Bloodybridget you’re welcome, gutted about the roasties for you!
