@vincettenoir yes I make a big pot of daal in the pressure cooker at least once a week, it's so simple and it always feels wholesome and warming. Then leave the cooker in the fridge and it gives us a good 2-3 meals, just need to cook some rice to go with it

Ours has changed recently due to a healthy bulking teenage DS, and DH and I changing our eating habits a bit. Tons of FF Greek yogurt. Honey. High protein bagels. Avocados. Smoked salmon. Milk. Cashews. Fizzy water. Pasta. Rice. Loads of chicken. Millions of eggs. All quite expensive stuff but actually less of a quantity of food.

Eggs. It’s just me and two teens at the moment. We go through over 40 some weeks. Also chicken. My son drinks a litre of milk a day. Also, frozen berries.
