What simple meal have you eaten recently that was just really satisfying?

[Tulips365]

Hi,

Just fancied starting a very light hearted thread after being inspired by my lunch. It's sometimes the little wins 🤣

Wholewheat spaghetti with pesto, peas, bit of parmesan and lemon juice. Gorgeous! Don't know what it was about this, but there was something so satisfying about a big bowl of this.

What about you?

Spot. On.

Currently eating a hot cross bun slathered in butter and MY GOD, it’s hitting the spot

Bagel with philadelphia (full fat) and crispy bacon done in the air fryer. mmm

Today's cheese sandwich, fresh brown bread, butter and a decent slice of cheddar. It just hit the spot.

I wished I could have had another but was at work😔

A side of salmon slow cooked in the oven on top of a massive armful of parsley, drizzled with olive oil and sea salt.
We had it with couscous full of diced cherry tomatoes and mini cucumbers with more parsley in, and it was just a perfect reset of a meal. Really fresh and simple after a lot of stews and rich food lately!

romaine lettuce, tuna, mayo, tomatoes. yum !

Egg and kimchi toastie

Jacket potato with butter cheese smoked ham and a salad

Home made sausage rolls! Used ready rolled puff pastry and skinned some sausages so took very little prep! But was really tasty served with baked beans!

Beans on toast with cheese finished in the grill.

Salmon and asparagus with chili flakes.
10 mins in the air fryer. Its amazing. 😍

Cheese panini, chips and some pickled onions. So simple and a total carb fest, but reminded me of high school lunches

Tinned cherry tomatoes on fried bread

Spam and mature cheddar cheese sandwich.

I love Spam!!!

I think I might eat my way through this list!! Although there was a noodle with peanut butter combo I think I might not enjoy -! And I’ve never tried spam so maybe should .

i had M&S super seeded bread toasted as a sandwich with mayo , a tin of mackerel in olive oil and very crispy lettuce from our veg box . It was heaven.

Halves baby plum tomatoes, a chopped chilli, clove of fresh garlic, pesto or fresh basil, pine nuts and lots of st Agur cheese stirred though quick cooked spaghetti - delicious

M and s macaroni cheese

Fishfinger sandwich with tartar sauce

Spinach, poached egg, fishfingers

Homemade fish pie. We don't like it saucy so it comes more as a slab. A winter comforting dinner.

Omelette with a bit of cheddar grated in and salad.

Pasta with peas mixed in, sprinkled with chip spice and cheddar

A Buddhist retreat centre’s spicy lentil soup, which was insanely good and managed to be both spicy and gentle.

Just had smoked crispy bacon and brie on a toasted bagel with cranberry sauce absolutely made me instantly want another 🤦🏽‍♀️

Gnocchi with sauce made from just passata, garlic and chilli flakes. Tastes so good.

I made a really lazy curry the other night. Curry paste from the cupboard that was going out of date, pumpkin, spinach, coconut milk and a can of brown lentils because I was out of chickpeas. So good!

We’ve just had chicken with red pesto, peppers, onions and crème fraise stirred through and served it with tagliatelle. It was delicious and less than 20 minutes to make.
