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.

@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

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

Hope you had a lovely time, @PrivateSpidey

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

Crisps
Penang tofu and sticky rice

GrapefruitGin · 05/10/2019 13:30

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

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 05/10/2019 16:23

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

Bloodybridget · 05/10/2019 17:09

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.

PrivateSpidey · 05/10/2019 17:38

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 Flowers for you

AwkwardSquad · 05/10/2019 18:12

Bloodybridget Flowers roasties sound like a good plan 👍

OP posts:
AwkwardSquad · 05/10/2019 18:46

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.

OP posts:
RuffleCrow · 05/10/2019 18:48

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.

Nuttyaboutnutella · 05/10/2019 19:00

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

Phycadelicsilhouette · 05/10/2019 19:24

@Bloodybridget I hope food tastes good again soon, Flowers from me too.
