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?

Breakfast - porridge with banana and milk, weak tea
Lunch - jacket with beans and cheese
Dinner - crustless asparagus and red onion quiche, cherry tomatoes and green leaves
Snacks - cheese and biscuits, apples, yoghurt.

Breakfast - as above
Second breakfast to compensate for loss of first breakfast - jam doughnut
Lunch - as above, go me!

Snacks - toasted tea cake, crackers, bugles, ice lollies

My diet is normally a lot better... honest...

Not sure about snacks, they've all eaten fruit. DS1 went to the cinema tonight so no doubt ate a bucket of popcorn.

[Somethinginthecordelias]

Breakfast: DS1 (nearly 4) had egg and soldiers, DS2 (8 months) had some porridge, I had cheese on toast and DW had coffee.

Lunch: fish fingers with mash and broccoli

Tea: pasta with red pepper sauce (waitrose from a jar) including peas mixed in. DS2 had some previously frozen homemade pasta sauce with his pasta.

Snacks: DS1 had frozen grapes, a clementine and a couple of celebrations, DS2 had some banana (was offered but refused clementine) and DW and I had more than a couple of celebrations!

DS1 drinks very diluted squash and DS2 is breastfed, we drink water or squash.

MIL is in hospital recovering from a stroke and we've all had the chest infection going round so simplicity was the main goal today

[JaceLancs]

I had melon for btreakfast
Cooked chicken with pickled onion and salad cream for lunch

[Halle71]

DH & little DCs all had porridge - made by me so I didn't have time for anything except a latte before having to leave to take DD for French lesson.

Lunch - DH didn't eat (unusually) and DD had pasta with grated cheese and DS had eggy bread. I had Xmas leftover cheese and biscuit and made a green shake for me and DH.

Dinner was going to be fish and chips for a treat as we we were going out, but DC didn't want it (wtf?) -?DD wanted baked potato with beans and cheese and DS wanted fish finger sandwich. DD is an awesome eater so happy to let her have what she wants, and DS is a TERRIBLE, selective eater so the fact he's not asking for icecream is a result. Usually they would have the same and a 'proper' dinner.
Kids snacked on apples, grapes, pears and a doughnut while out shopping.

Me and DH are tag teaming a friend's leaving do (to NZ 😢) tonight as no babysitter so he had steak and mash while I drank red wine, and now I'm home, drinking Christmas Baileys contemplating bed or food. More cheese?
