I've not long had breakfast but it was very meagre - a bit of granola and yoghurt. I'm quite well stocked with goodies but can't decide what to have and need some inspiration.

What are your eating plans for the day?

I'm back on Slimming World, so brunch today was The Full Mexican (potato, peppers and bacon cooked in herbs/spices, and a fried egg added at the end), and dinner tonight was Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl. Both new recipes to me, and both very tasty. DH had seconds tonight, which never happens!

Lunch will be a slice of leftover pizza, and yogurt and fruit.
Dinner will be a surprise since we are invited over to some friends. He is a trained chef, so always good food there!

Roll and sausages for breakfast. …. well it is Saturday.

Homemade scotch broth with sourdough bread for lunch and baked potato with homemade chilli and salad for dinner.

I’m now finishing off the crisps that were lurking at the back of the cupboard.

Kittylester, please tell me they were cocktail sausages ?

Nope - the butcher's gluten free ones!!

Just a smoothie with spinach and cucumber for breakfast, and a quick cup-a-soup with crackers for lunch. DH is making a fish pie for tea.

But I did have a massive slice of Christmas cake mid-afternoon. And now I have the heartburn to show for it.

We have had pork chops with a homemade brown sugar glaze served with dauphinoise potatoes and baked beans, because it was just what I fancied.
And very tasty it was too.

How do you make a brown sugar glaze?

Friends coming for lunch today, which will be a simple salad, with ham and a quiche, followed by a 'boozy trifle'. this the description that our guest gave us of the pudding she will be bringing.

This evening we will eat the remains of the salad - and boozy trifle. It was delicious.

Lunch was Cock-a-Leekie soup. Delicious! Later will be Chicken Chow Mein.

Greyduster Sat 08-Jan-22 14:28:53

A slice of pumpkin seed rye bread and a banana for breakfast (hate breakfast); a ham and pickle sandwich for lunch, and a beef and vegetable stew in the slow cooker will be our tea. I prefer to let it stand for a day to let the flavours develop, but needs must! There will be plenty to freeze for another time.

Riverwalk Sat 08-Jan-22 14:25:42

I settled on M&S chunky haddock chowder for lunch, and have a batch-cooked lamb & apricot tagine defrosting for tonight.

It's been non-stop rain and very gloomy here today so comfort food in order.

Auntieflo Sat 08-Jan-22 14:19:01
