What are you having for lunch/dinner? (Part 1)

Lasagna and Salad.

It’s our middle of the week treat. No vegetables tonight for us two!
We are having a quarter-pound Beefburger in a toasted roll, topped with cheddar cheese and caramelised red onions, complimented with crispy french fries. Yum! naughty but nice.

Chinese Buffet for us.

Chicken livers, onion, splash of red wine. Served with cabbage. :cool:

Pork Belly Strips marinated in hot spices, R. Potato, Dark Greens, Carrots.

Groan, was looking forward to a nice, healthy lean Ham with Salad filling in a lovely fresh wholemeal sandwich, then HWMO walked in with two still hot, Greggs Sausage Rolls.

Guess what we just had for lunch today? :lol:

I’m still wading down the bottom of my cauldron eating the beef stew and dumplings I made earlier this week - will finish it tomorrow.

Yum - a deffo fave.

However, tonight it’s watercress soup starter and then some spicy lamb kebabs with some fried halloumi and crusty bread.

Steak with an avocado salad for dinner. Excellent it was.

Homemade Chicken, Bacon, and Mushroom Pie, with baby Albert Bartlett potatoes, carrots and cauliflower. - followed by fruit salad with homemade ice cream.

Sounds good - haven’t had an avocado for ages - might have to buy one now!:smiley:

Turkey and salad for lunch today, with fruit salad to folow. I love salads!

stir fry veg with singapore noodles and sweet chilli sauce at lunch time (I have my main meal between 12-2pm) then later a wrap with salad and tuna in. …As my shopping just arrived today and I got the ice-cream cheap with a voucher I treated myself to Haagan Daaz ice cream with fresh strawberries! :-p YUUMMMM! (don’t usually spend that much on puds though!)

Unusually for us, we ordered in. Chinese. To hot to heat up the kitchen.
Was excellent and enough for tomorrow too.

Four pork steaks. Nothing else. No veg, nothing. Too hot to cook properly.

Smoked lemon & pepper mackerel fillets with salad.

I made a Bosh recipe tonight. Bosh is a vegan channel. I’m not vegan or even veggie but I love their simple recipes. I’ve never made one until today.

It’s 40g red miso paste, 1.5 tablespoons of maple syrup. 1.5 teaspoons of cayenne, 1.5 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of veg oil. Mix up and fry in 2 tblspoons of veg oil. Add shitake mushrooms, fry, add shredded red pepper and tenderstem broccoli, fry, add carrot slices and spring onion and then stir fry until it’s the way you like. You then add noodles for a few mins. I used the dragons den spaghetti as I’m gluten free (bare naked foods).

I’m posting this because we have been in meat overload. I’ve been eating tons of junk recently. My blood pressure is up even though I’ve always had normal bp. I feel so much better eating a healthier dinner. So I thought others might be interested. Apparently miso is really good for you and has lots of good bacteria (I found a gluten free version in sainsburys). The sauce was really tasty ( I added a clove of garlic) and the spaghetti was amazingly like real wheat noodles even though it’s gluten free. Who would have thought of adding maple syrup?!

I wish I could be 100% vegan but it doesn’t suit my body. Maybe one day a week vegan and one day veggie is a good compromise. Does anyone do this?

Sausage Pasta with a bucket load of Garlic.

Had a delicious dinner this evening.

Sea bass fillets, with baby potatoes, glazed carrots and leeks with a little Parmesan cheese grated over them!

Hi

Great minds think alike.

I wrapped my bass in foil,after skinning it, with light soy sauce, ginger and lemongrass paste, home made.

Thinly sliced the baby potatoes, into the microwave for 5 minutes and then both into the hot air fryer, with the skin, to get it crispy.

Veg was Pak Choi and Rainbow Chard from the garden, steamed.

The last of the bass unfortunately.

I am not well enough to go and catch some more this season.

The bass was caught by me, so much more flavoursome.
