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.

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

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

We do eat salad but H is not very adventurous. Mixed leaves, cucumber, celery, sweet pepper, tomato is his limit. I add ready made pots of coleslaw or celery 'n' nut to mine.
We have been eating the usual food just less of it. Today will be roast chicken and low fat oven chips.

I am just eating the same as any other summer in the north east, it is not so hot that we lose our appetite. We may have an ice cream or a bowl of cherries whilst in the garden.

Yesterday I treated husband to a toasted teacake in a teashop in town and consequently didn't end up doing a proper meal. Sandwich later in the day then a banana sandwich even later and picking at rubbish in between! We will probably have salad today. I eat ice lollies every day even in mid winter so nothing changes there grin

Salad, ice cream and fruit pastilles

Chicken with a lentil dahl, courgettes, carrots and pilau rice. Strawberries and yogurt for me, strawberries, meringue nest and ice cream for DH.

I made a fruit compote as well but we didn't get round to eating it.

Tonight we had a chicken on the rotisserie with ratatouille and crusty bread. There was enough chicken left to have cold tomorrow with salad and new potatoes. My DD, the veggie, was.out tonight, but tomorrow I thought I could make her a goats cheese and tomato tart to have with some salad.

All sorts of things, the weather hasn’t really made a difference to our meals.The only thing that has, is that we have been so very busy lately that I haven’t had the time for much food prep, so have gone for easy things and a few ready meals.Tonight we did have a ham salad, again, just because it was quick and easy.

Warm chicken & bacon salad with new poratoes. Lots of soft fruits.

JustALaugh Sat 30-Jun-18 22:02:47

Chicken Rogan Josh earlier, with a large glass of wine and 2 pints of cider

A platter of fruit courtesy of Morrisons.

Tonight half a sirloin steak with mushrooms- tomorrow for brunch I will have the remaining half in a toasted sandwich. I cannot get out to choose salads and I have one icecream left.

What we call "picky food" mini scotch eggs/quiche slices/toms/feta/ and add a bowl of either hot or cold jersey royals always have fresh fruit in the fridge for snacking and to-day I sliced up a water melon which has gone down very well with visitors this pm.

Ice cream, salad and chocolate with ever thing.

Greyduster Sat 30-Jun-18 20:30:14

We had yesterday's left over quiche and salad for lunch in place of the intended chilli con carne and rice as we just couldn't face it. We have just topped up with a ham salad sandwich and a glass of cold beer!

Whatever Husband cooks on BBQ with a salad.
