    I bought 2 veg lasagnes at the weekend.

    Cooked one to have with peas...ate it...then cooked the second one and ate that too :eek::o

    Pure greed/comfort eating..I'm getting a bit bigger than I should be after reading all the OS threads about food :p

    Either that or my clothes are shrinking ;)

    Yep...they did have a decent amount of spinach in them...but not much else :rotfl:


    I can't remember the last time I ate a ready meal (apart from pizza) so I'm not going to berate myself too much :cool:

    Still trying to work out what I fancy to eat tonight. I'm feeling pretty hungry and can't decide between IKEA meatballs, with veg, mash and gravy or a frozen pizza or something else. Don't fancy beans, pasta or more soup - need to go and have nosy in the freezer/fridge and see what inspires me .......

    Yes they are one of my guilty pleasures :) Meatballs it is and when checking my freezer list I have some roasties left over from New Year and runner beans from the garden last summer so dinner is sorted. :D

    I didn't know you could buy Ikea meatballs... I've been to an Ikea and eaten them once, about 25 years ago.

    I have picked up a few packs of 40 meatballs in the chilled section in the two budget supermarkets. £1.59 for 40 usually. They freeze and nuke up a treat :)

    IKEA is literally round the corner for me so walking over for lunch is a regular thing and then of course it has to be meatballs or hot dogs ...they also have a little shop where you can buy the frozen version of the meatballs with packets of the gravy....mmmm im so going tomorrow :)

    I can honestly say I don't think I've ever eaten Meatballs of any variety...hardly surprising seeing I was a non meat eater for 30 odd years. But I don't recall ever having them as a child either!!
