What's for lunch and dinner today?

Lunch - courgette omelet
Dinner - fish and potato tray bake with more courgettes? and red pepper accompanied by French beans.

Slice of toast and a nectarine for breakfast. Lunch? Whatever falls out of the fridge if we want it. This evening Mr C has asked for a burger and salad, I’ll have a salmon salad. Berries and Greek yoghurt for pud. It’s all my sort of cooking .

Kefir shortly followed by left over kedgeree around 11ish then spicy chicken gougons with salad this evening. Today will be a No pudding day…I can hear MrPG weep already ?

Lunch will be moussaka ? & Greek salad; dinner curried chick peas ? & a big dollop of minted yoghurt.

Both from the freezer - this is when batch cooking comes into its own

Watermelon, feta, chilli and mint salad was fantastic!
I omitted the pickled onions and used some salad leaves from the garden.
It went perfectly with the spicy chicken we bbqued.

Cereal for breakfast, (Mr C had a bacon sandwich and nothing at lunch time) an orange for me at lunch time, paella this evening followed by raspberry cheesecake with some almost defrosted raspberries on top. There was also at varying points a couple of digestives with a cup of tea and an ice cream in the garden. Tomorrow and Tuesday it will be salad, salad and more salad. No cooking for sure.

Breakfast Alara gluten free muesli with Onken natural yogurt, fresh blueberries, strawberries & raspberries. Cup of Red Bush herbal drink with Alara lactose free milk.
Lunch homemade rice pudding cooked in microwave, touch of Onken natural yogurt & Ella's Kitchen prune purèe. Red Bush herbal drink with Alara lactose free milk.

Brunch - Oatcakes with tomato, cucumber, slivers of Edam.
Evening meal - Two M&S hot-dog type sausages cooked in oven with sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, chestnut mushrooms and cauliflower, served with broccoli and petit pois.
East Scotland, just pleasantly warm here.

We were taken out for lunch, I had lambs liver, onions and bacon on a bed of bubble and squeak followed by Eton mess. Lovely pub in the New Forest, lovely it was, that’s me for the whole day.

Lunch was 2 rice cakes with thin sliced light cheese and tomato ! Bbq at my sons tonight , 1 sausage 1 kebab and salad ! Trying to get rid of the 2 stones I've put on since having chemo and steroids last year . It's hard going !

Posh nosh?
Spicy chicken and rice with salad for lunch - early today as we had the GCn here.
Bread and cheese (Cheddar) for tea.
Tomorrow we'll revert to our usual weekday routine of bread and cheese for lunch and something 'cooked' for tea, salad with smoked mackerel probably.

I’ve had a day shampooing carpets so lunch was oatcakes with cheese and tomato. Teatime was 2 poached eggs on toast, ? followed by a mini choc ice lolly. It’s hot in my wee corner of Scotland.

kittylester I agree. When I was at Waitrose yesterday instead of popping tins of food in the food bin I added deodorants, toothpaste, liquid and bars of soap as well as toothbrushes because these are items which some folk cannot afford as food comes first. To me they are all essential.

I had to go to Waitrose to collect a jl parcel so bought a cooked chicken, cold meat and some coleslaw sort of things. I do not intend cooking till at least Wednesday.

Also today I delivered stuff to the local church who distribute food to people in need in our village.

I am aware that we have more money than lots of people but I am also aware that lots of people have other disadvantages and I try to help there.

Snidey, sour people are not needed here.

Went out for lunch to restaurant by the river. Had coley with herb crust crushed new potatoes and samphire. Yummy.

Then on way home stopped in a village hall for tea and coffee cake

I’m not starting the diabetic dieting lark until doc says I have to !have made some veg soup for dinner

When there is very little, I make potato fritters or onion fritters.
Flour, salt and water then dip in potato or onion sliced and deep fried. If it’s for a pudding I’d replace the salt with sugar and dip in apple thinly sliced or banana then deep fry.
Very cheap, filling but not too healthy.

All this talk of food is making me feel hungry, and I can smell the chicken cooking, and now DH is dishing up
Bon Appetit everyone!

I'm in the covid sick-bay at present so food is a bit haphazard. Lunch was beans on toast and a couple of satsumas. Tonight DH has decided to do something with chicken breasts, peppers, onions and tinned tomatoes.
I'm not feeling too good but it doesn't seem to have affected my appetite.

Thank you all, I enjoy threads like this as it gives me more ideas. Living on my own, although not dining on ready meals, there is a sameness so it is good to get inspiration.

You would not like to dine here because on an extra hot night and I am not feeling hungry it may well be a bowl of cereal- that is until I saw the last price of my favourite, just under a fiver. It will be staying on the shelf. Sorry, I digress.

Sweet potato wraps today for lunch, containing hard-boiled eggs and avocado chopped up, lettuce, rocket, cucumber, radishes and cherry tomatoes.

Dinner will be mushroom biryani with a veg curry and some dhal I made yesterday. All home-made. Sunday night is curry night no matter the weather. (My husband is half-Indian).

Lunch was quiche and salad and for tea it’ll be cheese and tomato toasties followed by rhubarb and summer berry crumble and ice-cream.

I assume all readers of GN are comfortably off. None mention their gratitude at being able to afford to eat well and healthily at a cost unaffordable by millions. There is a note of self satisfaction at being so knowledgeable about food. Rather disgusting, really.

AlisonKF You are one nasty little (or old) cow! And I don't care if that gets me thrown off GNet. You obviously don't know the other GNers here or read their comments and posts often. If you did you would know there is HUGE concern for anyone struggling with food bills or any bills. Lets face it we're all in the same boat! And more importantly there is moral support and often advice from GNers. I see no hint of self satisfaction in the responses, people are simply stating what is on their menus for today.
