What did you have for lunch?

Cheese, red onion & mayonnaise in a home made granary roll.

Homemade vegetable soup with a swirl of cream and two slices of bread and cheese. Plus half a banana and half an apple. DH has the other halves. Oh and a cup of coffee.

Tesco ready meal, minced beef hotpot, very tasty.

Sweet and sour chicken, stir fry veg with plain rice. Fruit and Greek yoghurt to follow.

Crackers spread with marmite and a banana.

*Oldnproud*. This recipe is more or less what I do and probably describes it better than I could

Ooh, I am going to try that. Thank you for the link.

Stirfry with Ebly, vegetables and the left over HM burgers I made yesterday.

Chicken, sweet pepper and 2 lite cheese triangles and a lovely juicy orange.

Four Nairn super seeded oatcakes and a wedge of Lancashire cheese, and a clementine.
Dinner will be steak and ale pie, mash and green beans. Washed down with Guinness. I have been grafting this afternoon so I reckon I deserve it (anyway, it’s medicinal is t it?😁).

Brunch at about 1:30, I don’t eat breakfast. Two weetabix with prunes, blueberries and a banana, mug of builders tea, no sugar.

A taster portion of the veggie paprika chilli I made this morning followed by organic Greek style yogurt.

Ham sandwich on brown bread and three pancakes, using up the batter left over from Tuesday.

Mushrooms in a creamy sauce on toast and a pot of tea at a local cafe.

I had some home made wheaten bread with flaxseed and chia seeds in, with a soft-boiled egg, one slice of bread with peanut butter and blackcurrant jam, delicious. I had a cup of tea or two with it and an apple later.

Cottage pie with broccoli and carrots.

Things must change though because DH blood sugar is raised and so our diet will be carb free for a few weeks to get it back to normal, then avoid cake etc, which we have been eating since Christmas. We simply can’t afford to do it😢

Home made potato & leek soup with crackers and fruit. Main meal tonight.
In the interests of full disclosure I also had two small chocolates.

A special midweek lunch at our local bar for £20 of beef Ragu and a pavlova. Delicious!

A bowl of porridge and a handful of raisins. It’s quite chilly here so I fancied something warming. I’m making murgh makhani in the slow cooker for tonight.

I've never made murgh makhani - is it easy to do in the slow cooker?

Super easy! Some chopping in the Zyliss chopper, I like to quickly brown the meat as it seems to keep it tender, then all into the slow cooker and leave to mature. If I’m leaving it on all day I set it to low, if it’s just for a couple of hours I set it to high, but I guess that depends on your slow cooker. It’s simmering away now and smells delicious.

A wide variety of lunches!

I made a big pot of lentil soup this morning, ate some at two PM and will put the rest in jars in the fridge. I am going to get a Magnum from the freezer right now..

Nandos chicken, chips and coleslaw. Bertie's choice as we were birthday shopping. And, in fact he ate half my chicken and most of the chips - he's a growing lad!!

I made vegetable soup, served with Ryvita and Wensleydale cheese, followed by 2 easy peelers and an apple and a cup of tea

I had lunch at the village cafe where we met today for our Book Group - prawn and cucumber sandwich on brown bread, slice of Bakewell tart and a cup of Americano coffee with milk and no sugar.

Four sesame seed crispbread, two with Edam cheese and a yogurt. I have the same lunch pretty much every day. I try not to eat too much bread, plus a cup of tea.
