Beef tomato and mozzarella. OH went out to get me some basil! Now I’ve decided I would like toast instead.

The removal of my gall bladder has messed my appetite up! I feel hungry but have become fussy about the thought of what food to eat.

Today I made a caprese salad and had it with a slice of Spanish omelette I made earlier in the week.

Tomorrow, more omelette with potato salad, also already made, and green beans in a herby oil.

Wednesday will be cold chicken or something I haven’t thought of yet. Maybe a cold avocado soup.

I’m really not very interested in cooking,

I had cheese spread on Ryvita.
Also like pate on toast.
Smoked salmon sandwiches - and at the other end of the spectrum, sardine and tomato paste sandwiches.
Ham baguette.
Kids size pizza. M&S do mini ones.
Sardines on toast.

We like those fish cake things with the cheesy sauce in the middle. Most supermarkets do them. In the air fryer for 17 minutes, then onto a plate with some rocket, watercress, baby tomatoes or whatever else we fancy/have in the fridge and some Branston usually.

I’m naughty I enjoy a cake and a banana.

We had smoked mackerel pate on toast today.

Toasted bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon - my favourite and usually only on Sundays. Pastrami and tomato on other days.

I like all sorts of cold fish with salads. So tuna, smoked fish of all sorts, salmon etc are all tasty, nutritious and easy.

I am not a particular fan of bread I tend to have bowl of Greek yoghurt with fruits. Feta with watermelon or smoked salmon topped onto cream cheese. If I am busy usually in the garden I eat while working I will open pilchards or beans with chilli sauce mixed in. Mackerel fillets straight out the packet.

My favourite is avocado on toast. I slice the avocado, cover it in snipped spring onions, sliced baby tomatoes, salt and lots of lemon juice. Pile onto toast and if hungry top with a poached egg. Heaven.

Now that our local supermarket no longer has a deli counter I am struggling to come up with suitable light lunches. I don't mind whether it is sandwich fillings, salad or something on toast. Do any of you have some suggestions for me to try and ring the changes for tasty lunch time alternatives? Thank you.
