I keep saying I'm not hungry and then eating picky bits out of the fridge.

Picky food for us too Glammanana and fruit. Even chocolate off the menu as its melting too quickly. 36 degrees here - phew

Sweet potato chips (made in an Actifry) and tandoori chicken followed by cold white wine, sitting in the shade.

Steak on the BBQ with our own new potatoes, courgettes and mange tout. Have had several BBQ's this week with salads (various) Otherwise it's the usual pick'n'mix.

Quiche tonight - the first time ever that we are having quiche for Sunday dinner shock
Perhaps with salad and chips/sweet potato fries

Sadly - or unfortunately, I don't find my appetite changes much in any weather smile

The only difference is I don't actually feel like cooking! So (as someone else said) Whatever anyone wants to cook for me is fine, if not probably picnic type stuff here too.

It’s a slippery slope, Jalima! ?. Tonight we are having the chilli I made yesterday. I am looking forward to it - DH has declared that he is not hungry ?‍♀️. Am I bovvered??

Jalima1108 Sun 01-Jul-18 17:29:20

Bluegal I'm always hungry - but not enough to cook a Sunday roast!

I didn't even make the quiche, it's M&S
I may summon up enough energy to peel a sweet potato or two.

Jalima1108 Sun 01-Jul-18 22:59:26

We had a few new potatoes with it instead (unpeeled grin)

Cooker which is always on has been made redundant this past few weeks smile. Lovely coleslaws with lots chucked in or salad and new potatoes (delicious). Lots of chopping equipment to wash but hardly any pots. Oh and we had a home made Knickerbocker Glory last night, delicious.

DammitJanet Tue 03-Jul-18 07:57:55

Feta, tomato and cucmber dressed with oregano and black pepper and homemade cheesey breads.

A LOT of home made ice cream.

Pimms with all the trimmings.

Iam64 Tue 03-Jul-18 08:13:28

More salads, which I love but otherwise - everything is as normal here. Lots of food.

Jalima1108 Tue 03-Jul-18 11:19:42

I may cook tonight.
Probably a stir-fry grin done in a few minutes

Greyduster Tue 03-Jul-18 15:44:22

A two egg omelette with a ounce of cheese in it, and a handful of watercress. This is the first day of me going back on my 5:2 diet. Desperate measures are needed, and the hot weather will help, I hope.

lemongrove Tue 03-Jul-18 16:15:08

Cheese salad and new potatoes today followed by fresh raspberries and vanilla yoghurt.Cool, and easy.

shysal Tue 03-Jul-18 17:48:19

Butternut squash, bacon and feta frittata. Cold with salad.
I have cooked an unthickened beef casserole but can't face eating it ,so it will have to go into the freezer.

NotAGran55 Tue 03-Jul-18 18:27:56

Tonight it will be smoked haddock with a poached egg on a bed of rocket and peas . Followed by kefir and blueberries .

Auntieflo Tue 03-Jul-18 19:08:09

Tonight it was a Waitrose recipe, Spaghetti with sardines, pinenuts and sultanas, with a side salad. Strawberries and ice cream to finish. Very quick to cook and tasty.

annep Thu 05-Jul-18 21:14:05

The usual except no boiled potatoes. Salmon grilled chicken or turkey fresh veg. pasta. oven crinkle chips salad. I love a little porridge with blueberries crushed walnuts greek 0 fat yoghurt cinnamon- perfect breakfast. And a little chocolate of course. spoonful of ice cream.

annep Thu 05-Jul-18 21:15:43

Notagran where do i get kefir (apart from Ambridge!)

FlexibleFriend Fri 06-Jul-18 17:19:34

I'm still eating ice lollies, yogurt and fruit but on the bright side I've lost a stone in weight in 3 weeks. I'm a happy bunny just never feel hungry so making the most of it.
