I've just cooked cheesy-breadcrumbed Basa, with sweet potatoes and oven-roasted Mediterranean vegetables. (It's a Gousto recipe I had ages ago) Gorgeous.

I’ve had such a long, hard day that I’m having baked beans, bacon and mushrooms. Disgraceful, I know, but they are nutritious!

These all sound delicious. I think we'll be having beans on toast as it was village hall luncheon club (me in the kitchen, DH a 'customer') so we both had a good meal at lunchtime.

Cauliflower cheese with a jacket potato.

If this match finishes soon, if not, a cheese sandwich!

I made Polish stuffed cabbage leaves with steamed vegetables.

Dinner this eve was New England pot roast beef with vegetables and gravy. Yorkshire pudding turned out lovely, hadn’t made that in awhile and hubby was surprised!

Yesterday we had battered sausage and chips from the chip shop in the next village. Delicious!

Norah Wed 12-Jul-23 11:26:29

Courgette chickpea ‘meatballs’, basmatti, breads, green salad (form greens and tomatoes I grew), and the dessert I pictured above.

Tonight we’ll be having plate beef mince pie (homemade by the local butcher) with veg, mashed potatoes and gravy. Maybe fruit to follow if we still feel hungry.

I had jam on toast, I am beginning to wonder reading these posts that I should start making more of an effort

Sounds "just the ticket" to me!

Primrose53 Wed 12-Jul-23 16:02:20

Been out for lunch so will only need something very light. maybe a boiled egg about 8pm.

Jaxjacky Wed 12-Jul-23 17:02:13

Chicken stir fry again. Can't stand for too long, so I cut up all the veg and chicken in the morning, then bung it all in the pan at teatime.

To me the words “low calorie”, “Irish Coffee” , “meringue” and “Gateau” do not belong in the same sentence! 🤣🤣

Others said it was fantastic! No eggs for us, others did enjoy! smile

It was going to be baked potatoes with prawn cocktail and salad. Unfortunately the potatoes were very spotty and grey under the skin and they went in the bin.
Instead DH harvested the first of our home grown potatoes. They were lovely.
