It's 09.30 and my thoughts are turning to lunch.

Jazz dance class later so will have my usual smoked salmon and scrambled eggs - something light to keep me light on my toes!

No idea about tonight... maybe salad, something from the freezer, odds & sods from fridge, who knows smile

Friend is coming for lunch so homemade pizza and salad from the garden.

HowVeryDareYou Wed 13-Jul-22 09:39:52

Lunch will probably be a sandwich. Pub for dinner tonight, with the GDs

Lunch will be salad with ?

I’ve just taken some turkey steaks out of the freezer. Will cook it in a marinade. Going to use up some baking potatoes and make wedges to go with them.

Grandmadinosaur Wed 13-Jul-22 09:44:21

Turkey steaks for this evening. ?‍♂️

Soroptimum Wed 13-Jul-22 09:44:34

Watermelon and Feta salad for lunch, chicken and salad for dinner. ?

Bran flakes and fruit for lunch, burrito bowl for dinner.

Had kefir at 8am which keeps me going until brunch around 11ish. Today it will be crumpets with scrambled egg and smoked salmon?

There will be a roast chicken with salad this evening with summer fruit crumble and Greek yogurt or ice cream for pudding.

For lunch today, fish pie made with mixed fish pieces that come in my fishbox. I throw in a few prawns too.
Tonight just something light, perhaps a sandwich or an egg salad.

Brunch between 12 and 1’ish, fruit and plain yoghurt.
Dinner, either salad, new potatoes and gammon or chicken sausages, mash and beans as it’s a bit cooler today.

Greek yoghurt with berries from the garden and Greek pine nut honey for lunch. Duck and vegetable noodle stir fry with whatever sauce I make for tea.

Dempie55 Wed 13-Jul-22 12:32:02

I don't eat lunch, no nothing.

I continue to follow my mother's resolve not to go anywhere near a cooker in hot weather, so the next few days will all be salad suppers accompanied by ham/tuna/sardines/tinned salmon.

Mine Wed 13-Jul-22 12:42:15

Toast with banana for lunch.

Chilli for dinner...Yum yum...

tanith Wed 13-Jul-22 13:07:36

Chicken and salad sandwich for lunch, tagliatelli with tomato sauce with melon for dessert.

Anrol Wed 13-Jul-22 13:14:07

We went out for breakfast, so no lunch today but dinner will be cold left over chicken, salad & sweet potato fries. Dessert, Eton mess & probably a Solero ice lolly watching a bit of TV when we’ve come in from the garden. Loving no cooking. smile

ginny Wed 13-Jul-22 13:15:25

We are on the move so quick sandwich and yogurt for lunch.
Overnight stop with caravan tonight so bakery Cornish pasty and baked beans this evening with fruit for after.

Purplepixie Wed 13-Jul-22 13:16:22

Home made spaghetti bolognese with some tinned fruit and ice cream to follow.

Calendargirl Wed 13-Jul-22 13:27:25

Have just eaten toast spread with butter, Philadelphia with herbs, and a smear of marmalade.

Main meal is to be bacon chops with new potatoes baked alongside them, accompanied by home made tomato pasta sauce, baby carrots and dwarf beans.

Followed by Greek yogurt.

No lunch today as woke up very late and not long had breakfast - two small scotch pancakes. For tea I think I’ll have twice cooked jacket potatoes, one microwaved large potato with insides scooped out then grated cheese, chopped ham and onions mixed in before refilling the skins and popping in air fryer for a few minutes. I’ve got a few bits of salad left but I’ve not looked at them for a few days so if they are too far gone, it will be the potatoes on their own!

I’m not a fan of salad apart from tomatoes so after a couple of meals it tends to get left in the fridge! But I find using my air fryer rather than my oven has been a boon during this heatwave so I might have chicken and jacket potatoes tomorrow.

I am unable to go food shopping due to very painful arthritis in my knees so rely on Tesco deliveries every ten days which limits my fresh food supplies, my fridge is a bit empty now until Friday!

Salad for lunch

Salad and something for dinner

Too hot and lazy to cook!

Iam64 Wed 13-Jul-22 13:47:04

Just eaten scrambled eggs, avocado and sourdough
Mr i tells me he’s making salad with ‘bits’ for tea.

Urmstongran Wed 13-Jul-22 14:08:53

Gourmet lunch here. I’ve just eaten a packet of chicken ‘flavoured’ (ha!) ‘SupaNoodles’. Yummy. Decided to up the healthy aspect so followed it with a pink lady apple.

Granmarderby10 Wed 13-Jul-22 14:21:30

Traditional English salad with spring onions, boiled eggs, baby potatoes, accompanied by ham sliced off the bone plus a fresh sliced farmhouse loaf with butter and of course lashings of mayonnaise delicious ?!
Maybe strawberries, mini meringues and LongleyFarm cream for pud.

Elizabeth27 Wed 13-Jul-22 15:10:02

I don’t eat lunch, dinner will be pasta with pesto, feta and tomatoes and an apple turnover.
