It’s Ryvita and Philadelphia here (as it is pretty much every day grin) so please do inspire us with whatever you’re having.

Soup and a buttered roll... boring but I like it

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 09-Mar-20 19:29:15

Thinking ahead to tomorrow and you have inspired me to have something a bit more exciting (along with the Ryvita and Philly - wouldn't want to overdo the change grin)

Found some M&S falafel in the fridge. Bit of hummus and salad. Some pickles. And fruit. And maybe a creme egg grin grin

Today I had a ham and tomato sandwich followed by an orange.

Nothing. Don't eat breakfast or lunch except at weekends.

Home-made pea and ham soup---it was so thick I could have stuck the spoon upright. 2 pieces of crispy bread then an enormous orange cut into quarters.
Cheese and crackers for tea.

I don't think I've posted before, so here goes. I made a roast chicken & pots & veg at the weekend, ate a portion & then divided the rest into little boxes & froze them. I take lunch into work & microwave them so I eat a warm lunch every day. I tend to have a very light supper of soup or egg on toast so my main meal is always lunch.

I will be having my homemade Chicken and Leek soup with croutons

Nortsat46 Tue 10-Mar-20 10:47:39

Meeting a friend for lunch and will probably be having vegetable soup and ciabatta.
Probably followed by coffee and cake ! ☕️?

Sunflour seed rye bread with tomato and onion. Healthy and delicious.

Angelwings Tue 10-Mar-20 11:37:58

I usually make an omelette for lunch with some fresh parsley from my garden, some garlic, cheese and either mushrooms or tomatoes.

pluckyluckyme Tue 10-Mar-20 11:44:07

Green beans and a small piece of rib steak. I am trying to go low carb and have my main meal at lunchtime rather than the evening.

Suzic Tue 10-Mar-20 11:53:23

Boring I know but mu lunch will be a good old tuna, mayo & cucumber sandwich on seven seeds brown bread ?

EllanVannin Tue 10-Mar-20 12:15:45

A piece of salmon, new potatoes and fennel today, with another large orange. These oranges are 65p each but there's a meal in them, so fleshy sweet and juicy. Usually around 3pm.

I never eat beyond 6pm, only a coffee or cup of tea.

Well, yesterday, it was nothing much. ☹️It was one of my 5-2 diet days. I don't seem to be shedding many pounds but maybe it helps save the planet!? I wish!

Madbird Tue 10-Mar-20 13:00:47

Home made soup, usually vegetable, but sometimes it’s mushroom with a hint of fresh thyme. During the winter it’s my standard lunch which I batch make and freeze.

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 10-Mar-20 13:20:56

It's so chilly here today that I think I am going to make soup when I get home - and that will solve the issue of what to have for the rest of the week. Current favourites - French onion (a faff to cut up all the onions though) and pea (super simple)

Maybelater2020 Tue 10-Mar-20 13:46:02

Just come in from gardening so a quick and simple poached egg on toast today.

live7 Tue 10-Mar-20 15:14:54

I stopped at the cafe on the way home today from my fitness class. I had a muffin with 2 poached eggs, salmon on top with some nice salad and a pot of hollandaise sauce on the side. Delicious! Also a latte.

Vegan three bean chilli
I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I like this dish.

AGAA4 Tue 10-Mar-20 16:29:56

Cheese and apple on toast.

Maggiemaybe Tue 10-Mar-20 16:49:34

We had an M & S butter chicken curry with rice (very tasty!) We were going to have it for tea, but we go to a pub quiz on a Tuesday and the suppers there have been quite generous of late. We'll just have a snack for tea instead.

BBbevan Tue 10-Mar-20 16:50:24

Left over Cauliflower cheese and an apple

Pittcity Tue 10-Mar-20 17:38:28

Left over stir fried noodles today.
