That was an interesting read! I’m sick at home and it kept me entertained for hours!
I found a lot of inspiration here, there’s just one thing I have to ask- is it „normal“ in the UK to pair a carby meal like lasagna or pizza or pie with even more carbs like chips or garlic bread? That really baffled me a bit, I never heard of that before... I would always serve a salad or maybe vegetables with it.
Second thing-recipe for sausage casserole please?
To not just read but also contribute:
B 2 slices of wholemeal bread with not fancy pb and dried cherries and bananas
L half a wrap with chicken breast and heaps of sprouts (had to be used)
Snack was very MN inspired because I suddenly remembered that my husband brought an aero chocolate mint bar from a trip to England, accompanied by a chai latte
Supper will be tinned chicken soup
I had two coffee too... did you know that about 6 cups are probably protective against Alzheimer’s disease and good for your liver too?
On a normal work day I have
B overnight oats with fruit OR an omelette with avocado or sautéed spinach OR quark with fruit and nuts and honey OR a slice or two of substantial bread with cheese or cold cuts
Big Café latte in my thermos mug on my way to work
Late Lunch, mostly leftovers from the freezer or homemade sandwich (always with lettuce or arugula and tomatoes or peppers) or a salad (in summer) or tinned soup
Snack nuts/almonds/roasted peas and some cheese
Supper sometimes german „Abendbrot“ (Bread or rolls, cold cuts, cheese, tomatoes, crudités, pickles), sometimes a definitely big, if not huge salad (but with a proper dressing and always with Jamie Olivers maxim in mind: salty, sweet, crunchy, soft, it’s al about the mixture) or quesadillas or a stew/ thick soup or fish and veggies with potatoes (my preference) or rice (my husbands)
We don’t always eat together due to very different schedules, but we try to cook as a family (only one child, boy, 11) on the weekends. It’s mostly a very late and lush breakfast then and a big meal with real cooking around 4pm and maybe a little array of nibbles quite late (cheese, italian salami, nuts, satsumas or apples, olives...for my husband and ne)
I wouldn’t eat much sweet stuff, if it weren’t available. But if it is (like at work), I grab some. I grab the more, the harder the day was and the longer I had to wait for my lunch break (usually around 1:30 pm, sometimes an hour later, breakfast is around 7:00 am).
