Aibu to tell you about my quick awesome lunch...

2 slices of wholemeal bread..toasted. Good spread of lurpak on each. A fried egg on each, good bit of tomato ketchup and then topped with Batchelors baked beans. So good. What did you all have for lunch?

Greek salad with extra olives to make up for the lack of tomatoes. Joy of WFH is that I can eat raw onions at lunchtime Smile

Homemade spicy parsnip soup and oat cakes . Delicious 🤤

Thanks op I was in a post night shift funk.I read your post & thought yup that's what I'm gonna have for my tea. Added bonus I had Bonners beans in the pantry.

Butternut squash and carrot soup and a slice of granary bread followed by some blackberries with a dollop of vanilla yoghurt. Yumm.

2 crumpets, a satsuma and some ridged crisps. Having OP's lunch tomorrow - sounds amazing.

My line manager was severely hungover. So i suggested she have fish and chips to soak up the booze. Which morphed into me thinking I should have fish and chips Which then morphed again into our boss and my secretary also deciding on fish and chips. Sp we socially distanced in our conference room and gossiped about what Boris would do next.

It was good.

@potter5

Roasted sweet potato and red pepper soup with a wholemeal pitta. Apple and sultana cake.

Both homemade and both diabetic recipe.

God I miss crisps!

@potter5 I'd really love your diabetic apple and sultana cake recipe please

Eggs and beans should never be seen. I’m all for random lunches but those two together are horrendous.

For lunch I had toasted granary topped with houmous, cucumber and avocado, was delish.

HaggieMaggie · 12/10/2020 19:23

When I’ve been shopping my perfect lunch is toasted sourdough with chopped raw tomato, well grilled bacon rashers then topped with mashed avocado, finely copped fresh chilli and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Once had it in a cafe and god its good.

Crazycakelady17 · 12/10/2020 19:39

Heinz tomato soup with a slice of wholemeal bread with real butter was yum, dinner was roast lamb with all the trimmings that was yum too apple pie and custard for desert when it’s settled 👍

Howlooseisyourgoose · 12/10/2020 19:42

@Crazycakelady17 I had Heinz Tomato Soup yesterday but with grilled cheese on toast cut into soldiers and croutons!

bebarkered · 12/10/2020 19:46

2 packets of Seabrook Lamb & Mint Crisps followed by chopped apple, salted peanuts, sunflower seeds & currants, does anyone eat the chopped apple combi?

shas19 · 12/10/2020 19:48

Homemade thai butternut squash soup with Krispy kale, spring onions, and chilli on top with a bit of drizzled coconut milk and some crusty tiger bread roll smothered in lurpak....then a kit kat...and a crunchy

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 12/10/2020 19:48

lentil and bacon soup
salad with Jackfruit, Spinach, Peppers, aubergine, cannellini beans and zyweika - a polish sausage I'd not tried before.

Overall I've eaten about 14 different fruit and veg today, but some portions were small, so maybe ten of my five a day Grin

Mcmole · 12/10/2020 20:16

homemade carrot and parsnip soup, homemade bread. Soups are a good way of getting veg into DD! Fried egg and beans sounds yummy though and considering we have a lot of eggs to use up may pinch your idea for tomorrow.

cleanasawhistle · 12/10/2020 20:25

Homemade vegetabe soup and some dry crackers.

I love poached egg and beans together.Never sauce with eggs

hoteltango · 12/10/2020 20:36

Kallo Lentil, Pea Protein and Buckwheat Cakes. They were a suggestion when I was updating my Sainsbury order yesterday, and the reviews were mostly good. So I ordered a pack, which arrived this morning.

Thick spread of Lurpak, and oh my goodness. So much tastier than rice cakes.

I am quite proud I got 9 of my 5 a day today.

Raspberries, grapes and banana with my breakfast porridge. apple as a snack. battered mushrooms with my fish and chips (I don't like chips so get mushrooms instead) then cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, and jalapenos with tacos for dinner.
