Yes, you can leave frittata in the fridge. You can also portion it up and freeze it...

I make HUGE salads to take to work for lunch and add some kind of protein to them for flavour and to make them more filling, as well as seeds. They take AGES to eat so I feel full. I'm not paleo, so do add pulses. For breakfast I take yogurt with fruit and oats in it, often made the night before. Breakfast at home is either porridge made with rice milk, oats, oatbran and seeds OR bacon and veg (tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, asparagus, broccoli, kale and anything else I can find) chopped and roasted with the bacon in the oven. I might bake an egg with it too. I find that if I have veg and protein for a late(ish) breakfast I tend not to need lunch.

can I ask do you make a few days salads at a time and save them in the fridge? also yay to freezing even better

I deff think I will be so over soup avocado and nuts for work shortly. I kinda need something I need to just make once or twice a week as I'm just too knackered when I get in at night

Wondered where you were.

Hope all is well and your husband picks up soon.

Dont worry about going off piste, we all do from time to time.

Just get back on track when you can.

My youngest son is trialling a company that delivers organic Produce. He took the first box this week so I am just waiting to see what he thinks before I take the plunge.

Been thinking about suitable planters for the garden to grow some bits. Also need to buy one those cheap mini greenhouses soon. Last year I didn’t do very well on the grow your own front, but I am going to have another bash .

you know maybe garden planning might help me a wee bit as well ... I'm starting to feel a tad overwhelmed with Mr El's health, it certainly doesn't help that I have specific insider knowledge about the main problem that he has going on just now ( he has several issues at the one time) and the information I have is so specific to his issue that without giving too much away it is the specialist area I work in.

so maybe planning my garden is exactly what I should be doing ... thanks for the idea
