What have you eaten today? Part 3

[AwkwardSquad]

New thread for a new year!

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

Let’s include some recipe-sharing in this thread

Two breakfast cookies
Gf Pasta Bolognese with sun dried tomatoes
Some hummus and raw cauliflower
Greek vegetarian veg bake
Glass of white wine

Oh, and copious amounts of espresso with milk, as per usual

Yesterday...
B: Greek yogurt, mixed berries, banana, nuts & honey
L: beans & cheese on toast
S: two dark chocolate digestives and a handful of pistaschios
D: macaroni cheese, orange segments
In the evening: few dark chocolates
Lots of tea & coffee to drink, need to drink more water though.

Homemade tuna and cheese toastie
Starbucks coffee and brownie
Tempura battered fish fingers, sweet potato fries, baked beans
Almond croissant

I've not done well food choice wise the last few days. Really must get my head back in the game!
Today's food will be the usual oats, blueberries and yoghurt for breakfast, mince and pasta for lunch with a satsuma after and sausage and gnocchi ragu for dinner (unless DH fancies something different when he gets back from his friends house later)

Dinner update: we will be having a curry later because I've got a nasty headache that won't shift and as DH won't set foot in the kitchen to cook unless I'm literally at deaths door () he can bloody pay for it!

Tea with semi skimmed.

2 slices of sourdough toast with butter and marmite. More tea.

Lunch was 3 fish fingers and ketchup on a sandwich made with yet more sourdough (I asked dh who was going to the shops to get thin sliced wholemeal bread but he decided he liked the sourdough so much he was going to get another loaf, whereas I'd wanted to ring the changes. Sigh.)

Dinner: spaghetti with fresh pesto and roasted baby plum tomatoes and parmesan.

Extremely carb heavy and fruit and veg light day for me today. Will address that tomorrow!

B: 2 x milky coffee, pain au chocolat
L: smoked salmon and prawn salad, hunk of baguette. Twirl
D: pasta with tuna and capers, glass white wine

Had a so/so day today. No breakfast as I just didn't fancy anything but had the other half is my curry from last night for lunch and home made chicken fried rice for dinner.

I was very good yesterday! Oats etc to breakfast, the last small portion of the day befores chicken fried rice for lunch and home made burgers, sweet potato wedges and salad for dinner.

Then I went and ruined it all by eating two slices of chocolate cheesecake

Today I’ve had
B: milky coffee, toast with butter and jam but only half a slice as my 2 year old thieved the rest
S: pombears shoved silently into my mouth while looking in the cupboard so as not to alert the toddler food-thief
L: ravioli in a tomato sauce, cucumber batons, cherry tomatoes
Too many haribos
D: Thai red chicken curry with rice, glass red wine

Today has been a bit strange! No breakfast as I had been invited out for afternoon tea/lunch by my DMIL (we get on really well - she's nicer to me than my own family sometimes!). We had some little finger sandwiches with egg mayo, Brie and cranberry, coronation chicken and cream cheese and cucumber, two scones with clotted cream and jam, a little chocolate brownie, a tiny lemon meringue tart and a raspberry cheesecake cupcake. It was absolutely gorgeous! Have just made pasta and mince pot for DH and DS dinner - might have some later if I get hungry after a couple of glasses of wine
