[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

onlyhereforthefood thanks, normally okay about it all, just appointments can be mentally gruelling. All good today.
Do you find your weight fluctuates by a few pounds? I seem to gain and lose the same 2-3lbs. I can't seem to get my BMI back in the 20s.

Breakfast was the same as usual - blueberries, oats and yoghurt. Lunch is a chicken Katsu bowl from Sainsbury's and I'm not too sure what dinner will be. DH is taking us all out but will probably be a steak if I'm honest. Haven't had one for ages!!!

Today
B - pain au chocolat with a coffee
L - tuna salad roll, olives and a strawberry yogurt with blueberries on top
S - small slice of DS leftover bday cake and a tea
D - will be homemade pizza with salad

Have also got a chocolate Gu desert in the fridge which I may have later (not that I need anymore sugar today!)

@Redpriestandmozart falafel pizza sounds good! I’m planning on making butternut squash falafel tomorrow, with homemade zhoug (spicy herb salsa), tapenade and a big salad. Maybe some hummus too if I can be bothered. Or just buy a pot which is what I usually do. Homemade is never quite as good.

B - low carb toast with avocado and emmental
