It’s been a while so I will start us off…….whats for supper and why?

It's been a funny day so a bacon and egg sandwich - but don't tell anyone!

Cauliflower steaks, pom walnut dressed, salad, bread, fruit.

Another bbq’d, chicken skewers, halloumi, hog sausages and salad with baby potatoes.

Vietnamese sea bass this evening. Just sea bass cooked with shiitake and oyster mushrooms. With a sprinkling of herbs, fishsauce and dark soy. We will probably have broccoli with it. Another low carb dinner.

A stir fry, with some bits of leftover chicken from the freezer, lots of assorted veg and egg noodles. A packet sauce, with ginger and red chilli pastes, plus lemon juice, added.

Some bbq belly pork slices and some ready chips from Waitrose. It's been a tiring day. We devoted a Turkish takeaway but that would have involved a walk up the road - and a step too far.

Gammon (currently simmering in coke), buttered Jersey Royals and a salad of some sort. And more or less the same tomorrow.

Swedish meat balls tonight and spaghetti. I cooked the spaghetti yesterday and then froze it. Supposed to alter the carbs, I believe. Better for you if you are diabetic.

We don't eat feta, added 50g quinoa.

I also made brown vinegar dressing (IOW dressing choices).

Gammon shanks with honey and mustard, cauliflower, broccoli , carrots a a few small potatoes.

Pizza. 🍕

Just had some buttered toast and a mug of tea. We got in late from visiting relatives and I was a bit peckish but didn't want a big meal before going to bed.

I have some smoked haddock to use up. This evening I might make kedgeree or just a simple poached fish with spinach and a poached egg. We shall see.

As predicted yesterday
Cold gammon, fried potatoes and pickle-y stuff.

Cauliflower Lentil Salad, chopped salad, fruit

I cook the lentils, not tinned. No chorizo for us.

Delicious.

Oven fish and chips, pollock tonight, with mushy peas.

Linguine with a sauce made with lemon juice and zest, cream cheese, pasta water, chilli salmon flakes on top and possibly pine nuts (if I have any left) and parsley.

I forgot - and capers.

I had made rather too much mashed potato even for the monster shepherds pie I took to DD’s yesterday, so I bought some lovely fresh spring greens specially and we’ve had bacon, eggs, and a lot of bubble and squeak. 😋

Spicy carrot and lentil soup with crusty bread followed by banana custard

Chicken thigh tray bake with red onions, garlic cloves, peppers, baby tomatoes and potatoes.

Celery cashew stir fry, rice, bread, green salad, fruit.

Tonight, it was chicken and pasta in a tomato and chilli sauce with a fresh pear and small Twix for afters.

I had never heard of farro before.
In the pic it looks like pearl barley, which I use quite a lot in winter.

Yellow lentil dal, with spinach and cauliflower. And, since I remembered to get some, naan bread.
