Looks nice Lucy.

Friday:
Brunch: Bowl of home-made carrot and ginger soup + a coulple of slices of sourdough part baked bread and butter.
Dinner: Outdoor bred pork sausage, mash (half and half potato and cauli), purple sprouted broccoli, sugar snap peas, sauteed courgette batons.


Saturday:
Brunch: 2 poached eggs on 2 slices of nimble (hate the nimble but need to use it up as it's taking space in the freezer)
Supper: Felt very tired and not hungry. Hubby felt the same so we had a selection of cold meats including 2 different salamis and some parma ham. Cheeseboard with some extremely ripe Camembert, Stilton, cheddar and something or other creamy and covered in herbs. About 4 slices of sourdough part baked baton.

That dinner sounds good Patti, hope you enjoyed it.

Next on my batch cooking for today was sausage casserole. I had one portion for tea with sweet potato mash and the other five portions will go in the freezer for weekdays. Ingredients were onion, garlic, stock, chopped tomatoes, peppers, parsnip, carrot, butternut squash, 9 sausages, small amount of lentils, tin of cannellini beans.

Had a bit of cheese on top as I was grating the cheese to keep in fridge ready for on the chilli, and you can’t grate cheese without eating some!

OK so it's today but I didn't have anything interesting yesterday..... anyway just threw together a meal off the cuff and really enjoyed it....

Fried an onion with some yellow pepper and mushrooms, diced marrow (skin, flesh and seeds) and 4 cherry tomatoes quartered, added some garlic powder, dried herbs and a splash of white wine vinegar, salt and pepper, fried it until veg softened and then added some drained chick peas and stirred them in to warm through and then served that as a bed for a dollop of lamb bolognaise that I had made a few days ago to make moussaka and then used the aubergines for ratatouille instead, so it was sitting in the fridge waiting to be used. They worked surprisingly well together. Still waiting to see the BG impact. I tend to get more carbs out of chick peas than I should but I only used about a third of the can so we will see.... Will definitely be experimenting with this food combination again as really enjoyable.

Yesterday was hard diet wise because I walked to the hospital (2Hrs) and the appointment, getting home, etc messed up all of my normal routine timings and meals, BUT my wife offered me fish and chips when we got to the hospital which turned out to be very good and very appreciated.

Reworked my diet for the day in my App when I got home and all was good. AND my weight dropped a little by this morning. So everything worked out ok.

I think I may be cooking egg noodles, mushrooms and chicken this evening. Hmm a bit high in carbs at 47g all in, but that is ok and with the rest of the days meals which come out at 134g carbs, no problem. A bit higher carbs than I normally aim for.

 

[janw]

Yesterday
B - 3 Nairn cheese oatcakes as we was going out
L - 3 lightly battered fishfingers, two chips and a little mayo
D - Hmm - cooked it but barely touched it - minted lamb steak, mashed mooli, mangetout, so ended up with one slice toasted Nimble with meridian almond butter and a little no-added-sugar strawberry jam, a pomegranate plus a mint & chocolate skinny crunch bar.

Monday
Brunch: roast beef and coleslaw sandwich on 2 slices Scandalously seeded bread.
Dinner: pork loin chop with 4 griddled apple slices, was a bit short of veg, so braised leek and courgette in Butter and chicken stock, with leftover dauphinoise potatoes from Sunday.

Tuesday
Brunch: 2 slices scandalous seeded, topped with melted cheddar mixed with worcestershire sauce.
Dinner: “sticky sausages”. Chipolatas roasted with chunks of Fennel, Aubergine, Courgette, red peppers and Padron peppers, then just before they were ready added some cherry tomatoes and slices of Chevre goat’s cheese. Topped off with a tbs of balsamic and a tbs of pomegranate molasses. Scrummy!
