What are you eating today?

I feel dreadful at the moment, I have a bit of a gluten intolerance and have overdone the toasted teacakes, compounded by finding an uneaten xmas pud in the cupboard. So my diet was chosen for me really. I don't long for sugar, or chocolate, I long for a cheese and pickle roll. And a teacake afterwards.

Toast for breakfast with Lurpak, cauliflower cheese for lunch, then beef stew with broccoli later.
I've given up sugar and I feel much better

Well, I might not have much room for the pulled pork today. Time will tell. It may be better tomorrow anyway

bags gosh where do you put it all ? or are you just having a "hungry" day ? and you are so slim on your photo's.

cari, I had a small punnet of Extortionate Chilean cherries recently too. Lurve cherries.

Hope it turns out well, glam. Ours is still in the oven. Meanwhile I've eaten two giant white choc chip and cranberry cookies, a "bear's paw" pastry (coffee with each of those) and, just finishing the noo a double slice bacon and tomato butty plus cupatea.

River according to the pack, it's 367 calories per slice. That doesn't include the cream that I will pour over them, but I bought single cream rather than double, so that doesn't count!

Breakfast was Beans on Wholemeal Toast
Lunch was Banana & a couple of Tangerines & buttered scone
Tea time Fish pie (home made with salmon/cod/basa pieces) with new Potatoes & Garden Peas.
bags Love the recipe for the pork,have copied it and will certainly do it soon.

You will need:

Thinly sliced raw turkey breast (I usually put it on a board, cover with clingfilm and bash with rolling pin if they look a bit on the thick side)

Half a lemon, or bottled lemon juice

Seasoned flour

4 tablespoons chicken stock

4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan

4 tablespoons of Marsala wine

50-75 gramms of butter.

Rub the turkey steaks with the lemon (or slap the juice on with a pastry brush) and coat in the seasoned flour. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and cook the meat over a gently heat for about 10 minutes, turning until golden brown on both sides.

Add the marsala and allow to bubble for a bit. Sprinkle each fillet thickly with the parmesan, and moisten with the chicken stock. 9I have been known to forget this stage, and then wonder why there is a jug of stock on the worktop. This usually happens because I have either been nattering away as I cook, or I have had the extra glass of wine that makes you lose concentration

Cover the pan and gently simmer for about another 10 minutes until the fillets are tender and the cheese has melted.

I tend to make extra sauce by adding extra marsala, if you do thid it is a good idea to add the rest of the flour and cook it a bit before adding an increased of wine.

It's very yummy, is quick to make and doesn't make much washing up!

Phoenix, I like the sound of your turkey dish. How do you cook it please?

I'm back on my diet now that DS is back at uni. So, two boiled eggs for breakfast, a handful of fruit and nuts as a snack, thick spicy butternut squash soup for lunch, and a bowl of quinoa and roasted mixed veg with one small chicken thigh diced, skin removed this evening. Probably a handful of grapes later in the evening when I get back for choir - and maybe a wrinkled elderly satsuma as well!

The thread TONIGHTS DINNER is on the food forum and is about 12 pages

We had tuna and cucumber sandwiches for lunch and are having beef in red wine casserole with jacket potatoes and broccoli for dinner.

Breakfast: spinach, eggs & anchovies

Lunch: Chicken breast, sprouts & gravy

Supper: Black-eyed bean & feta burgers

How many calories in your pudding phoenix?

I have a friend coming for supper, so it's turkey breast steaks cooked in Marsala wine with Parmesan, Charlotte new potatoes with asparagus put in the steamer above the spuds!

Waitrose chocolate cheese cake with cream for pud

I deliberately bought that as it comes as 2 pieces in a pack, so one bit each and it will be all gone, unlike what happens if I buy a "whole" dessert....

I'm on Slimming World too which is basically healthy eating but low fat, low carbs. On a golf day I have something that will give a slow burn so its 2 Weetabix and semi skimmed milk and a banana half way round. Lunch is homemade veg soup and a yogurt and dinner is Shepherds Pie with cabbage etc and a piece of fruit. I still have 2 125 ml glasses of wine with dinner as my treats/syns.

Porridge for brekky with a banana and honey.
Haslet Ciabatta for lunch with fruit cake chaser.
Sausage egg and chips for our 'tea'.

I have earned the calories having dusted, vacced and mopped all through downstairs today whilst Mrs Retiredguy was at 'bitch n stitch' craft morning.

Egg on wholemeal toast for lunch and tonight a jacket potato with home made chilli-con-carne.

Terrible menu to begin with. Better later!!
Bread roll, cup of tea.
Chicken gujons, chips and peas.
Leek and potato soup with a sandwich of some sort. I haven't decided yet!!!

Sorry, must have missed that.

GF cornflakes, tuna mayo roll, chili with rice and sliced hard boiled eggs.

Boring day today as I look after two DGC in Derby every Wednesday pm so we have to have something out of the freezer when I get home as it's too late to cook and I'm knackered very tired by then. Come to think of it - DD3 made the chili a couple of weeks ago - so that's two nights I didn't have to cook!!

We recently had a thread entitled 'Tonight's Dinner' or some such, what happened to that?

Homemade mushroom soup from homegrown mushrooms

Just been to Slimming World and have got rid of the weight I put on over Christmas. I tend to stick more or less to the SW plan, with exceptions for socialising. I have just made and demolished a brunch of bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes and I am meeting friends for dinner tonight. I have checked the menu online and plan to order soup followed by smoked haddock risotto.

Pulled Pork and homemade coleslaw.
