Brambling

Welcome Lilacpotato I have added you to the chart 

Frith

Very tasty lunch today. From the BSD book and not the type of thing I would normally make:
1 ready cooked beetroot
2 small figs
roast in oven with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
put a few cubes of feta on top and put back in oven for 5 mins. 

B - yoghurt and forest fruit
L - as above
T - chestnut and mushroom hot pot (another recipe that will be new to me)

@Need2bthrifty your lunch sounds amazing! I might try it with the kids one day! They do like a homemade pizza. Pancakes, sandwich and cottage pie and veg for me today (and a couple of biscuits) I’ve also got the exercise bike out. I’ve not done any exercise, apart from a little walking, in a very long so I’m easing myself in gently! I figure that every little helps!xx

I cant take credit for that pizza-type lunch idea. I picked up the tip of using crusty bread or part-baked rolls a few years ago from well experienced, established, waste not want not, MSE’rs - its up to you what you use - tomato puree/pesto/passata for a base, I like to add some fresh tomato but have also put on ham or salami then a bit of whatever cheese I have to hand then bingo you have an easy finger food lunch.

Brunch - LO mushroom and chestnut hotpot
Tea - seafood with roast courgette

I’m also cooking loads of portions of lamb hotpot and bolognese sauce for the freezer. All BSD recipes.

Still using up odds & ends!
 

B : porridge
L : smoked salmon and cucumber sandwich, grapes (a small handful which had detached themselves from the bunch in today’s delivery), raspberries & cream - I do like a day with three desserts! 
D : cheese omelette, green beans, broccoli, carrots; cinnamon yogurt

S : none planned

Hi Folks,

Much nicer day here and there’s been a bit of a thaw, I always feel better when the sun shines and even managed to fit in a brisk 2.5mls this morning. Todays menu =

B - Porridge with tinned peaches

L - Prawn salad with crispbread x 2

D - Leek & stilton quiche, roast tomatoes & green beans

I so enjoyed my lunch, I’ve been eating stodge and comfort food for as long the prawns were a lovely change. Right off to make up some pastry, hope everyone’s staying safe.

Hi, I’d love to join in! I’ve recently had my second child and sadly realised that in my grey loungewear I look like a hippo   

I’m going to aim for 14lbs for this quarter.
