Pizza for me tonight, with pineapple obvs.

Easily the best food - healthy, easy to cook and nutritious. Bought another dozen just now - I don't like running low on eggs.

Approve of pineapple on pizza.

 

[platinumsage]

Meatballs on spaghetti with tomato sauce and mushrooms. Side dish of broccoli and cabbage.

Edited to add: prunes and sliced almonds with custard.

Have you had your cholesterol levels checked?!

Stir fried vegetables and cashew nuts, with brown rice. I am incapable of making stir fries in sensible quantities.

How many do you get through a week?

I probably get through between 15 and 20.

It varies - some weeks two dozen, some weeks just half a dozen. Depends on what I feel like eating. But it always has to half a dozen at a time - that just feels right.

My cholesterol is fine sojourner - dietary sources don't make much difference as your body produces it anyway, and other fats have a bigger impact.

Foods containing cholesterol

Some foods naturally contain cholesterol, called dietary cholesterol. Foods such as kidneys, eggs and prawns are higher in dietary cholesterol than other foods.

Dietary cholesterol has much less of an effect on the level of cholesterol in your blood than the amount of saturated fat you eat does.

Lower your cholesterol

I also eat this sort of stuff which lowers cholesterol too, apart from avocados which I don't often buy.

• oily fish – such as mackerel and salmon
• nuts – such as almonds and cashews
• seeds – such as sunflower and pumpkin seeds
• avocados
• vegetable oils and spreads – such as rapeseed or vegetable oil, sunflower, olive, corn and walnut oils

I have prawns, noodles and a pack of stir fry vegetables, so some sort of concoction. But I haven't got any sauce - any ideas of an easy one I can whip up with storecupboard ingredients? I've got soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, loads of spices and all sorts.

 

[sojourner]

I eat fucktons of sugar and chocolate. Which is probably why mine has increased over time. I'm now on those plant sterol yoghurts. They actually work too.

That right there would do it for me.

I'd say you're set with the soy sauce, garlic, ginger and honey.

 

[Roadkill]

I'd say you're set with the soy sauce, garlic, ginger and honey.

Yes, that, though I'd add a dash of Chinese cooking wine.

This evening I've done what I often do when tired and fed up: stopped into the butcher on my way home and got one of his pre-prepared things, a stuffed chicken breast I'm having with new potatoes and salad.

e2a - Donaldson's does it again: that was delicious.

 

[RubyToogood]

Mushroom and spring green lasagne and a baked mini pumpkin. The lasagne was based on Anna Jones saying she was going to post a recipe for smoky mushroom and kale lasagne - just on the title, I didn't actually see the recipe, just thought it was a good idea. Delicious.

 

[Orang Utan]

Just dug out Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian Cookbook, which I hadn’t looked at in years, so am making:
Cauliflower and aubergine cooked in a Bengali style
Bengali-style green beans
Persian pilaf with a potato crust

 

[moose]

Some slightly weird lentil/mushroom/butterbean bake ready meal. Wedges.

Warm Eccles cakes and ice cream

 

[kalidarkone]

Veggy stand and stuffs. Stuffed with, brown rice, refried beans, guacamole, salsa, jalapeños, cheese and sour cream.

 

[Detroit City]

Half a dozen boiled eggs.

that's a lot of cholesterol

 

[20Bees]

Chicken crunchy sushi reduced at work tonight, nice. Mince pie and cream

 

[Detroit City]

Lentil soup. Rice and a chicken kabob. Leftover salad.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

that's a lot of cholesterol

But it doesn't have a great deal of impact compared to other fats, so it's fine. They dropped the recommended maximum number of eggs people should eat a week a few years back I think, probably because it doesn't mean you'll have a heart attack.

 

[pogo 10]

Was gonna get lamb hotpot but went for fish chips n peas instead as only a fiver for a meal deal thing at co op. Got four cornettos too, 2 of which ill have for puddo.

 

[Numbers]

Jerk Chicken, macaroni cheese, coleslaw, salad, tossed veg, cheese/egg mayo, plantain, rice an pea.

SO excite.

 

[miss direct]

How do you make jerk chicken, Numbers ?
My friend gave me a whole bag of kale from her allotment, so I am going to do something with that, rice, and fish from the freezer.

 

[Detroit City]

Tonight going out with friends for Chicago style deep dish pizza...mmm can’t wait

 

[fishfinger]

Chicken breast wrapped in bacon with broccoli, mash and gravy.

 

[Ron Merlin]

Last night was Sri Lankan chicken curry (in coconut milk) with rice and petits pois fried in turmeric.

Tonight it'll be goulash and noodles/tagliatelle. Goulash to be made with beef shin - not tried it before. Looks a bugger to chop though

 

[Orang Utan]

Potato gnocchi with walnut-parsley pesto

 

[moose]

Some kind of fajitas, with Nigel Slater's roasted sweet potato and harissa cream, hopefully.

 

[Epona]

I am allegedly getting a delivery of a free promotional cheese toastie within the next 20 minutes - something OH arranged from somethingoranother but he's in hospital so if it turns up I'll eat it.

Will probably want something else later but not sure what at this point, I have 2kg of potatoes and no butter which is a bit tricky.

 

[Aladdin]

Egg fried rice.
