What did you eat today?
(215 Posts)I know there have been threads like this previously but it's something to do to take our minds off the virus.
I had raw overnight-soaked oats with blueberries, raspberries and banana with greek yoghurt for breakfast plus 2 mugs of tea.
Morning latte OH always makes for us
Another cup of tea.
Bowl of Thai pumpkin soup and piece of savoury toast. (very popular in Australia other places may not know what it is) plus another mug of tea.
Probably salad for tea with tomatoes, avocado, onion, cucumber, lettuce plus a veggie fritter made with grated zucchini and carrot, spring onion, chilli flakes,feta and cheddar cheese, eggs and a bit of flour.
This makes 6-8 and I have a couple a day till there are all gone.I don't get tired of having the same things for a few days.
OH has different food as he is a traditional old style eater with sausages and mash, silverside (corned beef) baked beans egg and bacon etc.
I always have some chocolate in the evening . (smile)
Getting worried about ....repeating myself!
Had a carb day. Coco pops for breakfast. Peppermint tea, Bag of Sunbites mid morning. Slice of Bread and salmon spread for lunch. Two more teas. 2 Chocloate mini bites. Dinner was Steak pie, chips and beans, Cream egg, 2 litres of water,
Gosh reading that back it looks awful. Today will be better.
Actually that should read - had a terribly bad nutritional day
No added sugar museli with blueberries and milk, cup of tea glass of water, lunch was homemade Cauliflower and Broccoli soup, 3 mini oatcakes with homemade salmon pate,and fresh fruit. Dinner will be homemade Sweet and sour chicken with rice, yoghurt and fruit. I like cooking so most things I eat are homemade.
Greek Yoghurt, blueberries and peaches for brekkie.
Avocado and prawn salad for lunch.
Tomato and basil soup, oatcakes and cheddar cheese for dinner.
We are on a low carb diet at the moment, am really craving a big buttery jacket potato!
No breakfast ,today or yesterday but made mushroom soup for lunch,I find that if I am upset or worried in any way my appetite seems to wane so in view of current events I really don't have much interest in food which is not like me normally as I love to cook and bake..

Breakfast was a few squidgy olives, softish cucumber and a slice of not very nice ( only bread on the shelf ) wholemeal.
Lunch was a decadent raspberry ruffle chocolate bar and a coffee.
Early tea was half a tin of spaghetti in bolognese sauce poured over left over veg with some instant Idahoan mash. Not a good look on the plate and decidedly lacking on the palate too. Well someone has to hoover up the cupboard 'finds' as my husband is eating good food like it's going out of fashion: it possibly is.
What is Idahoan mash Nina?
Presumably from Idaho of course but am left wondering...
Not too sure myself, but it's a million miles away from Cadbury's Smash instant potato. It comes as a powder in packets, cheesey mash , butter and herb , extra buttery and classic flavours !! I add an extra knob of butter and seasoning and bob's your uncle- no fuss mash. Not for the purists I might add.
Think it's named Idahoan mash because, isn't there a potato type called Idaho ??
Breakfast
Two Hobnobs and a cup and a half of Kenyan coffee
Lunch
One Weetabix with Canderel and skimmed milk and a rhubarb Activia Yoghurt
Afternoon tea

Saggi I hope everything will be ok with your daughter and that tomorrow will be a better day for you.

Posh cheese on toast ( Brie&cranberry on sourdough bread baked for 20 mins)
Homemade date and banana loaf with tea in the garden.
Mediterranean pork casserole with new pots.
In our house one son has 'textures' issues so only eats certain things,but he will have anything vaguely 'chicken' related,even re-heated,but other son wont touch anything he considers 'leftovers' (anything not on his plate when its freshly made) so its up to me to eat up anything left in fridge,as usual,so nothing new for me there?
No breakfast, mid morning coffee
Scrambled eggs on toast for lunch with satsuma, coffee
Mid afternoon cup of Assam tea
Dinner small salmon fillet, carrots, beans, small quantity of mashed potato and hollandaise sauce, followed by apple crumble. Dinner cooked by DH, bless him!

Felt a little lost as I normally have DGS on Tuesdays, but he stayed with DD today. Slept late instead!
Breakfast 11.00: Instant coffee. Porridge with milk and golden syrup.
