Lurkers' week: what are you having for lunch?

Generally leftovers but today I did enjoy some French stick with cheese and tomato!

Home made veg soup - different every time I make it - just use whatever there is that's getting a little past it's best.

I’m trying hard to lose weight after being told by the nurse that I am overweight and bordering on obese. She was so lovely and told me what I already knew. I AM FAT! Today I am having cottage cheese with crisp bread and a pineapple lolly (ASDA), pieces of mango and some grapes. I have cut out all the chocolate, crisps, biscuits and cakes. Then for tea I have prepared some home made broth with a yogurt to follow. I will do this as none of my clothes fit nicely and I don’t want to drift into the stroke or heart attack category. I will get there so my lunches will sound a bit boring to you all. Have a lovely Wednesday.

We have our main meal at lunchtime. In the evening something like a toastie, or your Ryvita etc and fruit.
So today we had a veg. casserole, made from odds and ends of vegetables, with salmon fillet. V. tasty.

Thanks to this thread I have bought some Crackerbread. I love it with marmite, then topped with some Longley Farm Cottage cheese. Tasty and quite healthy.

I had a salad and some Nairn’s cheese oatcakes....and then a scone!

Left over cauliflower cheese made by OH. He will insist on putting feta in as well as cheddar!

Tuna salad & fruit, trying to be good & lose some weight but its harder in the winter..

I am having a stuffed pepper with rice, cottage cheese, sundried tomatoes, onion and olives, topped with cheese, yummy!

Soup, a sandwich and lots of fruit for afters!

Some friends popped in, we had pasta with tomato and chilli sauce, garlic bread with lemon tart and cream to finish. Washed down with a couple of bottles of red.

Our excuse is that DH is ill and needed cheering up.

No dinner tonight though.

Homemade tomato soup today. I was in mid chaos making birthday cakes for our three family March birthdays, so we’d to clear a little space on the table for our bowls.

All done now, apart from the small matter of filling, icing, decorating, which includes fashioning a Luigi and a Gooiji out of fondant... That can be tomorrow’s job, so I’ll be opening my red wine soon, Oopsadaisy.

Bagel with chicken and cucumber.

Guess I finished Lurking and come out of the closet.
I've made oven baked celeriac with home made roasted potatoes and a Quorn chicken pie. I am amazed at all these new plant based products that have come on the market. Been a vegetarian for 23 years and at last there is a good choice available. My food feels revived.

Pilchards on toast and a pear. I love pilchards but DH doesn't so as he is out this lunch time, I can indulge.

Pasta with tomato and chilli sauce

Again

On Thursday I catered for about 8 people, instead of 4 .......

I’m really over Pasta.

I have just had M&S chunky fishfingers in brown bread with brown sauce. Yummy - and a glass of rose on the side. Will set me up for an hour or so of gardening!

Today a leftover stew mixture of chicken beef and beans - with freshly cooked potatoes and Tesco's cauli and broccoli mix, microwaved..

Cottage pie today, thank goodness the pasta has all gone!
With a cheeky glass of red
Followed by a Tuffnells chocolate bar
And a coffee.

I'm feeling rather hard done by in the food department. My new job in a boarding school has meant that since January, I've been having a FULL lunch everyday. Salad, main meal, dessert. All delicious and all made from scratch, including the cakes and puddings (home made choux pastry - we have a chef, not a cook!).

However, since the school has shut (CV), I'm now on sandwiches. Hmph.
