I think burgers will probably be too dry. Wasn't that what Bubbs had the other day and said never again!

I'd go for the meatballs and cook them in a nice tomato sauce, with some mash & veg. A sauce will give a bit of flavour to the turkey mince.

That's what I was thinking Denise, while I fancy chips, there is something comforting about mash on a cold (ish) day.

I've got bangers & mash tonight! Like you say comfort food for cooler days.

People often say turkey's too dry, you hear it a lot at Christmas, but I like it. I've made these before using YS turkey mince.

I use dried herbs and you can add capers or chopped cornichons/gherkins too.

D out for dinner and cinema tomorrow so will try to be sensible. Any recommendations for cinema nibbles (taking my own, of course)??

We went to the cinema today too, and OH took his fudge, and I took a pot of my favourite yogurt in a cool bag (looks like a handbag ) and had some of that, and a small packet of Rolos.

Looks lush as usual *drools*


Sorry the pic is so HUGE!!! :rotfl:
So lunch today was courtesy of the drive thru at McD's, and I asked for salad, and was presented with this. It was so filling I couldn't eat it all! I had taken some SW quiche with me to eat before the cinema, and thought a small salad would go well with it. This is a defiinite 'go-to' if I'm ever really stuck for somewhere to get a bite to eat when out and about in future. I had a small drizzle of the balsamic dressing, but am aiming to keep a stock of salt & pepper and vinegar sachets in the car for in future.

Meal plan yesterday:
B - Banana, baked apple skyr (1.5),
L - lettuce, cucumber, shredded white cabbage & carrot, tomato, shredded chicken thigh, SW quiche portion. LF dressing (1); 0% yogurt with strawberry, melon & nectarine. Didn't eat much of the dessert.
D - Baked potato, cucumber, tomato, cheese HEA1, beans, dressing (2)
HEA2 - milk in tea/coffee

Meal plan today:
B - LO yogurt and fruit (strawberries mango, nectarine & melon) from yesterday's lunch (I was too full to eat it). Waste not want not :money:
L - McD's salad- lettuce, onions, tomato, cucumber, grilled chicken, quiche, dressing (1)
snack - baked apple skyr (1.5), small pack of rolos (9)
D - baked potato, cucumber, tomato, cheese HEA1, beans, dressing (2)
HEa2 - milk in tea/coffee

Having a repeat of last night's dinner because I have a massive spud to eat, and it's not my night to cook, so it's easy peasy to do.

Is that chicken in the salad sary ? Sounds like a great 'go to' on the road although Subway salads aren't a bad option.
