In need of inspiration, I'm annoyed with myself but I just keep reverting to cheese on toast if at home.

My new favourite

Warburtons thin with tuna mayo & a slice of cheese. Crimped to seal it & bunged in the toaster. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

fancyfrogs · 23/03/2023 20:37

Beans on toast 😁

Large slice of sourdough toast, half an avocado, ev olive oil, chilli flakes, salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime. Bloody delicious.

I eat on the go at work. So today I’ve had a packet of scampi fries and I’m starving 😭😭

ilovebagpuss · 24/03/2023 14:52

Packet of Aldi Spanish style grains (I love these) and a tin of mackerel stirred in.
Really filling and tasty, oh and a bit of siracha sqeezed all over.

Lazy Saturday morning project to use up 3 bags of kale means spanakopita triangles for lunch!

Bet the kids turn up their noses Hmm but that's all that's on offer, unless they make themselves something else.

Made me and my baby mini Spanish omelette using left over veggies and fish.

did in the omelette maker. So easy lol. I seem to be making a lot of ‘circle’ meals these days.

What’s spanakopita?

I'm on my own for lunch today so I'm using up a few bits that need to be eaten from the fridge. I've got two field mushrooms that I've removed the stalks from and then fried off some very finely chopped red onion, celery, the mushroom stalks, a bit of spinach, with some garlic and fresh parsley. Ive used this mix to stuff the mushrooms then topped its some wholemeal breadcrumbs from the freezer and a little bit of finely grated Stilton. I've just popped it it the oven. I'll have it with a green salad, again using up stuff, so probably watercress, red onion, celery, cucumber and apple.

mamaduckbone · 25/03/2023 13:46

I've just had our regular weekend brunch with Dh - mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach on sourdough toast with a poached egg. It's delicious.

Afonavon · 25/03/2023 13:55

Italian salad leaves salad with cucumber, tomatoes, carrot, coleslaw, grated cheese, capers and toasted nuts. I whizzed up a dressing of tofu, mustard, oil and vinegar. It was delish.

Greek pastry with spinach and cheese. SO so good.

I had a toasted bagel with two turkey rashers and a fried egg followed by a purple snack bar.

Workinghardeveryday · 25/03/2023 14:11

Grand Big Mac, large fries and Sprite Zero - and loads of bbq sauce 😁

Thebreakfastclub2023 · 25/03/2023 14:13

Roasted peppers on a low carb wrap with guacamole 🥑 and some tortilla chips with sour cream and chive dip (the new lime ones from lidl they are delicious 😋) 0% alcohol Corona with a wedge of lime in the top of the bottle.

Oh sounds good I’ll have to try it :)

AuntiePhoenixClaw · 25/03/2023 14:51

I had a small late breakfast fry up in a really nice little cafe with poached egg and wholemeal toast. I have just had a plate of chopped up carrot, avocado, apple, grapes and some rocket leaves.

onetimenamec · 25/03/2023 14:55

curry, brown rice
I made a key lime pie but nobody wants it 😥

Xiaoxiong · 25/03/2023 16:51

@Bree82 @Pseudonamed someone just messaged me to say that if you use other greens like kale and not spinach it's apparently called hortakopita which I didn't realise!

Sautéed onions, garlic, spring onions and then wilted down a mountain of kale. Mixed with half a bag of rocket, some sad dill/mint/parsley (the dregs of the salad drawer), feta, lots of grated nutmeg, some eggs and a grating of Parmesan just for the flavour, and then brushed olive oil over strips of filo pastry and folded them up into triangles, baked 30 mins for a lovely veggie lunch with a chopped tomato and cucumber salad.

Xiaoxiong · 25/03/2023 16:52

@onetimenamec how can they not want it!? I'd kill for key lime pie right now. When shall I come round, we can have a slice of your delicious pie and set the world to rights 🥧

lljkk · 25/03/2023 16:53

banana, apple, Doritos

Actually, they ate half of it ten minutes after I posted. Usually, it goes at record speed but I served brown rice today which really is more filling 😂

A bowl of cereal. Very boring!
