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!

Yesterday I had a banana for breakfast and some cold roast chicken and a pear for lunch. Then I spent all afternoon at a hospital appointment with my DP and after that he fancied going out because he'd had better news than he'd thought, so we went to a local restaurant and I had tuna and black olive pate with rocket and toast, an nduja pizza and a white chocolate and ginger cheesecake, plus an amaretto sour and an Aperol spritz. About six cups of tea and two or three pints of apple & pear squash throughout the day.
