I made it all but then didn't feel like eating it so tonight's dinner will definitely be the tapas! 🙄😂 a piccie will be provided later...
I'm making a squash and aduki bean saute today for my dd so I'll probably make enough for us all and then we can have that tomorrow night...'Happiness is not a destination but the journey you walk every day'

Dinner munched - feeling enormous now!! 🤦♀️😂
Falafel, hommous, olives stuffed with lemon, roasted peppers, patas bravas, salad leaves (from the garden), strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pomegranate, watermelon, broccoli sprouts, black grape, carrot and apple 'rice' and balsamic - absolutely lush but it may mean that I have to roll up the stairs tonight!! 🙄😂

Last night we had a 'chinese' style meal - bao buns (shop bought), black bean garlic veg stir fry, grated tofu with hoisin sauce and a cucumber and spring onion salad (photo was taken before I put the salad on 🤦♀️)

Went out for lunch with my grandbaby yesterday (which was very nice!) so not very hungry by dinner time.... had dark speckled lentils, a grain mix (quinoa, buckwheat and millet) with a salad of rocket, pomegranate, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, black grapes and fig and date balsamic. Had some cannellini bean 'hommous' on the side.
No piccie as was too busy with my grandbaby but as there is plenty left I'll probably have the same tonight and will take a piccie then 😉'Happiness is not a destination but the journey you walk every day'

Yesterday I had smoothie for breakfast (accidentally made enormous amounts so I drank the 2 pints of it over an hour or so!! 🙄🤦♀️😂) then made 'lunch' at around 4pm - which was also enormous so ended up staggering the eating of that too!
Anyway, I had scarlett runner beans with dijon cashew cream; a quinoa, buckwheat and millet mix; rocket, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and black grapes drizzled with fig and date balsamic; papaya; beetroot and apple 'rice' and sprinkled with barberries and sunflower seeds 😋
