AIBU to start a 'what did you eat today?' thread?

[early30smum]

Given that there were lots of replies on the spending money on food thread, would anyone be interested in having a thread where you could post what you/your kids had eaten that day? Might be good for new ideas, see what people who are spending very little make which could be good for people trying to cut back etc?

If you are not interested think this is the most pointless and boring thread idea ever you could just ignore?

Me, DP and DSS (11)

All ate bacon sandwiches and xmas chocolates as brunch

Snack around 3pm, I had sardines on rice cakes, they had yogurts.

They went to the cinema and had popcorn, I stayed at home.

At 8.30 when they got back we had an apero: kirs for DP and I, juice for DSS, and pesto-feta toasty things

At 9pm we ate dinner: lasagna & salad. Then cheese and bread and a few chocolates.

About to play a board game before bed and I will probably have a gin and tonic.

We are a French/English household so mix foods and eating culture quite a bit.

[GreenTureen]

Porridge and banana for breakfast

The dc had a party so had a bag full of sweets and a piece of cake each before lunch meaning they each had a boiled egg, a piece of toast and salad sticks in a very small portion for lunch. I had homemade veg soup from yesterday.

I just couldn't be arsed to cook tonight so the dc had spag bol which was frozen from last week although according to the other thread i'm not allowed to call it spag bol because it's such a bastardized version

I currently have a frozen (ready meal) mariners pie in the micro which i'm having with peas and sweetcorn.

[VerbenaGirl]

Scrambled egg on wholemeal toast for breakfast. Bit of a triumph as 10 year old DD2 tried scrambled egg and liked it for the first ever time!! DD2 had fried eggs.
Homemade wholemeal cranberry and orange muffins for lunch. DDs had pizza and salad, then a few Pringles or them mid afternoon.
'Homemade Nando's' for dinner - Sainsburys cook in the bag peri peri chicken, savoury rice, homemade coleslaw with beetroot and half mayo half sour cream, courgette spaghetti, homemade guacamole. Bit of a treat after back to work / school week.

[thesourceofLoveandLight]

today we woke up late and were rushing to get to dd's activity so had hastily bought pain au chocolat from the co-op as breakfast, except ds who had a yoghurt and some flapjack.

naughty lunch out - dh had curry, I had sweet and sour pork with rice, dd had soup, ds had bits of everyones. ds is 17months!

dinner was rice, veg stir fry and veg miso soup.

I am keen to eat mostly veggie meals from here on - we have agreed on meat only at weekends and to aim for 3 vegan dinners a week, for various reasons.

tomorrow will be porridge and fruit, veg soup and bread, and I think butternut squash roasted with walnuts and cheese with rice for dinner, and a spinach salad.
