What have you eaten today?

[BarryKentPoet]

What did you eat today?
I love reading what people have (and getting new ideas/recipes).
My new year new habit is to have a side of veg with each meal (and eat it first).

Breakfast - Sourdough toast with soft cheese & bagel seasoning, side of cucumber/tomatoes,

Snack - Crisps

Lunch - Stovies with beetroot (traditional in my part of Scotland)

Snack - Christmas choc (trying to get through this)

Teatime snack - Bowl of homemade lentil & veg soup, a couple of crackers

Dinner - I am going to a pub quiz so will have a wee something to eat from their bar bites menu!

I got carried away today had chicken drumsticks and some wings which I was going to have with salad / rice.
However I ended up doing a lovely roast dinner with roast potatoes. stuffing, yorkshire puds, vegetables with gravey.
I dont know why I changed my mind but it was lovely.
Edited to add during the day just had 3 coffees and small bowl of noodles.

B: sourdough toast with mashed limey avocado, toasted seeds, olive oil and a fried egg (was soooo good)
matcha
Kids’ leftover cocoa overnight oats, added lots of raspberries (and seeds and nuts)

morning snack: half a home made pitta bread leftover from DD’s lunch box. Was nice toasted with butter 😂

lunch: Thai beef and leek stew with babycorn, mangetout and brown rice. Was EPIC. 10/10 (if I say so myself - I cooked it on Sunday!)

Snack: sourdough toast with butter and mixed berry and chia seed jam, plus handful of sugar snap peas and pistachios while cooking dinner
