What did you eat today?
I love reading what people have (and getting new ideas/recipes).

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!

Took DH and DS out for brunch at a local cafe to finish off the holidays, had their full English (1 slice of toast, 1 sausage, 2 bacon, scrambled eggs, beans) and a coffee. Won't need lunch! Home now with a cup of tea, dinner will be kabanossi, roast potatoes and broccoli.

Chai tea (until the 3 year old dunked his manky hand into it) and banana bread after a morning sledging (so I feel the rest of the day is deserved?)

Too many pringles
A bag of Gifflar cinnamon bites with 2 cups of tea
Handful of liquorice bites
Some random haribo

Now deciding on dinner...which will probably involve either Thai or curry and will be ordered on an app because its too cold to cook 😂

B at 10am: 1 slice sourdough toasted with mashed half an avocado and cottage cheese , a pear and an espresso and a green tea.
L/D at 4.30: roast chicken with roast potatoes ( skin on and drizzle of olive oil) and lots of veg ( sprouts, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower) and the last of my cranberry sauce. 1 glass of red wine

I had a ramekin of Greek yoghurt with sprinkles of granola and some berries, 2 coffees and 1/4 bagel with cream cheese.

just back from pub lunch - 3 meat greene king roast (dads choice for birthday) side of cauliflower cheese.

for dinner I’m either having cheese on beans on toast or some more of the soup I made yesterday with some toast (curried parsnip, carrot and lentil) it’s nice but ‘quite farty’ .

B - 1slice sourdough toast, beans & scrambled egg

S - 1 chunk of mint Rocky road

L - Large plate of food at a Chinese buffet plus a chicken & sweetcorn soup

D - some lentil soup later if I am hungry

B - muesli with soya milk
L - lentil soup, one big piece of cheese, piece of homemade cake, one kiwi
Snack - one orange, bowl of edamame beans, two squares of dark chocolate
D - will probably be an omelette with vegetables

2 slices of panettone and a mince pie!

B - broccoli, tomato, bacon and mushroom fried in a bit of oil.

L - Homemade Thai Butternut Squash and chicken soup (it’s my absolute favourite at the moment - so so good)

S - two Ryvita with cottage cheese and beetroot and a hard boiled egg.

D - will be harissa chicken traybake with cous cous and some crispy chickpeas on top.

MFP says that’s 1204 calories which leaves me with enough for a sea salt dark chocolate Treat later 😊

@Chelsea26 please can I have your soup recipe?

B - beans, mushroom, tomato, 2hash browns & black coffee

L - leftover daal and another coffee, followed by 2 satsumas

unsure about dinner right now!

L - a salmon paste sandwich on granary bread

D - homemade chicken noodle soup, an orange and a Granny Smith

Blackcurrant Lemsip, tea and fizzy water

I love how that poster came on, didn't answer the question, criticised and left. What a joyful person they must be.

I often have homemade soup as a snack. I tend to eat small amounts at meals as I fill up fast, but will frequently heat up some soup and have it in a mug late afternoon. In fact, I did it today when we came in from walking the dogs in the freezing cold - leek, potato and kale soup.

Breakfast was tea and then a coffee as I'm never hungry first thing

Lunch was a couple of seedy crackers, some cheddar and a handful of tomatoes

Dinner will be pasta alla norma and some roasted sea bass filets with white wine and lemon, topped with a chicory and fennel salad

I (stupidly) baked brownies and they smell delicious, trying to hold off until after dinner!

B Gluten free cornflakes with added mixed seeds and cacao nibs

L A couple of gluten free biscuit bars

D Pork chops, rice, carrots and courgette

S See pictured. They have the audacity to mention cherries first while only putting TWO in the entire pack. Am so outraged that I've eaten the second half of the pack so that I don't have to be further disappointed!

Went out for breakfast this morning. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with one piece of toast. It came with a small side salad which I made myself eat! Did also have a few tastes of DD’s Nutella pancakes and a few of her strawberries - it was a massive portion and she ate about a quarter of it!

L - didn’t need much, I had a piece of bread and butter, a clementine and a couple of dates.

Half an hour later ended up scoffing one of DD’s kinder snowmen - she’s decided she doesn’t like them so they’re fair game!

D - A roast beef dinner but small portions of everything as it was actually leftovers from the bigger roast dinner I made yesterday (the one I’d planned for New Year’s Day but we hadn’t felt like it so finally got round to) So roast beef, 2 roast potatoes, one Yorkshire pudding, one mini pig in blanket, sprouts, carrots and roast parsnips. Bulked out with some extra steamed veg, baby corn and green beans, because I just thought we needed some more fresh stuff after the last couple of weeks!

Im going to have a cup of tea and a piece of my Christmas cake in a bit.

Slightly more normal service will be resumed tomorrow as I’m back in work and DD back to school.

Ruinous day as it's my DS's birthday....croissant and marmalade, ginormous carvery dinner (I'm veggie so have a delicious array of vegetables, 'all the trimmings' and a mountain of mash) then homemade chocolate fudge cake at teatime. I'm now in a food coma.
