I was meant to be making a nice low calorie butternut squash and green bean curry but I couldn't be bothered and phoned the Chinese instead. I end up with lemon chicken in a sweet and sour sauce with egg friend rice and a gazillion calories.

I made a brown rice pilaf and mixed tuna and peas into it. Healthy start to week and dc all enjoyed it. I had mine with rocket mixed in.

Not much inspiration here. I just had toast, really couldn't be bothered to make anything.

Wilma55 · 07/09/2021 20:23

Lunch out so cheese, tomato and fig chutney sandwich.

mingetout · 07/09/2021 20:23

Fajitas, and everyone complained that they were too spicy!

Birdkin · 07/09/2021 20:27

Feeling lazy today so just spaghetti pesto and sweetcorn (and lots of cheese…)

Was meant to be making a new recipe of my own baked beans and mushroom’burnt ends’ but that’ll have to be tomorrow’s dinner Grin

Bbq - veggie burgers with cheese, truffle mayo and salad, corn on the cobs and coleslaw, couple of beers

Haybo26 · 07/09/2021 20:29

I made chicken cacciatore in the slow cooker with spaghetti.

LawnFever · 07/09/2021 20:30

Chicken curry & rice

C0nn1e · 07/09/2021 20:33

Sausage,mash,carrots, cabbage, cauli and onion gravy. Apparently it was alright!

HolyMerlot · 07/09/2021 20:36

BBQ! ☀️☀️☀️

Asian style chicken thighs, lamb koftas, herby potatoes and salad

CatFacePoodle · 07/09/2021 20:37

Marmite on toast and a Freddo!

3GreenPullups · 07/09/2021 20:40

Lidl hotdogs with buns, cucumbers and jacket potato.

Advantage is it is quick and the Dcs will eat it.

I would have had sweetcorn with it also but I fumbled opening the tin and dropped it on the floor.

DavidRosefluffyjumper · 07/09/2021 20:40

Tinned beans with mini sausages in them, with toast. Strawberry jelly and squash. It was like traveling back to the 80s!

Sweet potato jackets with fried diced chorizo, spring onion and cherry tomatoes, topped with a bit of cheddar - not exactly light in calories but delicious and fairly filling.

Toad in the hole with gravy, carrots, mange tout and broccoli 🥦

TornadoTrinity · 07/09/2021 20:42

Grin David

Those look great foxy. I actually think I could get my kids to eat those too.

Courgette fritters (home grown courgettes), Greek salad and pitta. Delicious. Although I’m only responding as it wasn’t the usual crap I end up doing on a weekday!

Flowers12345 · 07/09/2021 20:43

Paella, just a simple one with some prawns and chorizo

EwwSprouts · 07/09/2021 20:44

Cheese & peppers omelette with salad. Other two had pizza and salad.

mynameisnotmichaelcaine · 07/09/2021 20:46

We had a barbeque! It's boiling here. I made potato salad and we had a burger and a sausage. DS who is vegetarian had a portobello mushroom with cheese in a burger bun. Cherry tomatoes as a nod to five a day.

Gingerkittykat · 07/09/2021 20:51

I'm knackered.

We had a veggie pizza, battered sausage and a portion of chips between us. When I get pizza I would normally make a side salad but didn't even have the energy for that.

It was good, and I get to go to bed soon.
