I was thinking about this as I had my breakfast today. I'm going to have some home-made soup and a cheese scone and butter. Both out of the freezer, so I had better get them out now. (It is nearly 8.15)

Soup is made out of leftovers and scraps of vegetables - I save them up in a reasonable bag in the freezer and then cook them together and whizz them up. DH refuses to eat it - most of the time it is quite nice.

Edited

I make this kind of soup too sometimes, more often in the winter. Usually a squeeze of lemon juice or some chipotle chilli sauce (or both!) makes it perfectly acceptable.

M&S mushroom pate/hummus with Schar flatbread
Nairns GF cheese oatcakes with Somerset Brie and pear and fig chutney/tomatoes

Shared with DW today and eating in the garden so even nicer 😊

Cheese and ham on kinda stale leftover baguette (in the office or I’d have toasted it!) with CHEDDARS the peak crisp

They had some clearance special edition roasted pepper, lentil, and mascarpone soup at the Coop when I popped by earlier. Only £1.62 per container! So I will be having that.

Smash burger and lots of slow sautéed onions in a brioche roll.
Spoiling myself today.

Chickpea and ochre curry with white rice. I used a Spice Tailor curry kit. (I have my main meal at lunchtime.)

What is a high protein sandwich thin?

Meat and beans sandwich that you've flattened?! 🤔

Homemade butternut squash soup, with some fried chopped chorizo and pumpkin seeds mixed in for a bit of texture. Sooooo good!

Pretty boring but it’s roast chicken, oven chips and veg tonight. Plus homemade vanilla and raspberry marble cake.

Fridge soup. Carrot, onion, garlic, red pepper, Marigold stock, salt, pepper and lots of parsley. Recovering from wisdom tooth extraction, so on a light diet today.

There are some fancy-pants sounding lunches, I'm quite envious.

@HundredPercentUnsure oh absolutely!

MeltonInTheHeat · 08/05/2025 10:51

I think an omelette and salad for me today. I am at home and trying to low carb AND trying to limit my spending as i spend way too much on food generally. I have a nice chicken soup in the freezer but am planning on turning that into ramen for the Dcs dinner tomorrow night.

Tearsinheavens · 08/05/2025 14:18

2 egg omlette with mozarella on toast and some Jamaican ginger cake with custard 🍮
