I tried to eat a sausage. Turns out I'm still off the meats. It was fucking grim. So I had a cuppa soup instead and it was lush

 

[Cheesypoof]

not sure what we are going to eat, but.....i personally thrive on the idea of one steak, lots of black beans, bit of garlic, that kind of vibe. I know I can make a fantastic meal of it.....i think im out tomorrow evening though....

 

[Cheesypoof]

I know this sounds corny but every meal i make from scratch, i do it with the hope that the folks eating it 'is the best meal they have ever had'. Sometimes, it wont be possible to get last minute garnishes but during the week, i had chorizo, onions, kale, garlic, sour cream, mixed herbs, and blue cheese. Everything had to be used that day. I made this really great sauce with those ingredients, drizzling lots of olive oil and a few chilli flakes over pasta at the end before serving.Ic you can be dirt poor and make amazing food, it is true.

if you have no money at all, you can exist on bean stew (cans cost 39 cents in Lidl). a little bit of stock, onions, garlic and time....one of my favourite meals.

Two eggs and even a potato on its own, roasted with love, could be the best meal you've had in a long time (especially if i cook it )

Made a vat of orzo pasta with three large red chillies, minced this time with the garlic mincer rather than chopped. Bad move - the huge surface area of the chilli pulp means it's hot as hell.

Chucked in half a pound of sweetcorn and a jar of chopped up datterini tomatoes from Marks, carton of chopped tomatoes, basil and oregano, and loads of olive oil. Sweating like a bastard now.

Turns out I'm still off the meats

I've accidentally not eaten red meat or chicken for two months. Not intentionally at all, just been eating loads of veg type stuff (and some fish to keep my brain working).

 

[bubblesmcgrath]

Roasted sweet potatoes, onion and garlic with a baby leaf salad.
Water

 

[blairsh]

Lasagne and spicy triple cooked chips. Raspberries for afters.

 

[neonwilderness]

Pizza and dough balls freshly foraged from the discount aisle in Tesco

Lemon curd muffins for pudding.

Rice
Banana-based pudding
Was gonna make pizza but had forgotten that I'd defrosted the chili.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Not really been hungry today. I had a spring roll a bit ago. Will need something before bed but dunno yet.

 

[Biddlybee]

Quiche and salad

 

[BoatieBird]

Slow cooker gammon, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puds, cauliflower cheese, steamed carrots and cabbage, gravy.

Spinach and pepper lasagne, too many Jersey Royals, asparagus. Orange profiteroles.

[Thimble Queen]

Halloumi, egg and chips.

Disappointing new potatoes, broad beans and a bean burger.

Yesterday and the day before I had a weekend cheat meal of haddock fillet in breadcrumbs, "baby jacket potatoes" in mixed herb oil (89p from Aldi, really good in a junk food kind of way ) and bistro salad mix.

This week's teas will be cajun chicken breast with chickpeas, spicy freekeh, grilled red peppers, red onions & mushrooms, broccoli and shredded spinach. Blueberry "with a hint of lime" flavour yoghurt for pudding - also Aldi, not had it before but hopefully it's as nice as it sounds...

 

[moonsi til]

Yesterday was a late lunch/dinner at a riverside restaurant. Glass of red then shared feta salad, mixed bean patty with creme fraiche and a homity pie that came with chips & baby potatoes! And carrots & broccoli. Overall was tasty but too much butter as the potatoes & veg was swimming in it.

Not sure about tonight but off to Sainsbury's soon.

 

[Biddlybee]

What I didn't cook yesterday...

Grilled chicken thighs, rice, coleslaw.

 

[BoatieBird]

I love those baby jacket potatoes iona

Tonight we're having a pasta bake using the leftover gammon from yesterday and tenderstem broccoli.
Steamed asparagus on the side so I don't have to get annoyed with the boy picking it out of the pasta bake

 

[sojourner]

Fish pie and peas - himself's off out for a meeting. And then I'll have some Lindt sea salt dark choccy

 

[sheothebudworths]

Fast day - mushroom stroganoff on toast and I brought home some pizza from work for the kids. Mint Aero mousses for them for pudding, a fake mini milk and an apricot for me.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Spag bol spluttering away...pre payday meal to last many servings. Should be nice I think.
