We have plenty spare!!

 

As I eat my main meal ie dinner at what you call lunchtime..

My Sunday dinner was a Supervalu ready meal, which I treat myself to once a week as it is lovely to eat what you have not cooked... With M.E , you find that cooking a meal can render you too exhausted to eat it. lol... Yesterday was Irish cabbage and bacon ( ie what we would call ham or gammon. Bacon here is called rashers. A mistake we all make once!) Comes with mashed potatoes, cabbage, mashed carrot/swede mix, generous slices of meat, and white sauce. Cabbage is rare for me as a whole one is too much so this is perfect!

 

Toad in the hole with potatoes, peas, carrots, cabbage and gravy with fried red onions, chilli and garlic, that's for hubby i just have the veg for my dinner, i call it my meat free dinner no pudding week days and saturdays.

 

Today's main meal is a- simmering. Yet another big pan of chicken soup. Easiest and tastiest thing to make. Chunk of chicken, breast today, whole onion halved skin left on for colour,, apple chopped in half, a couple of carrots roughly chopped, a slew of lentils... Water to over. Simmer .... when ready, with a fork remove the meat, or leave if preferred , fork out the onion skin, then blitz the rest as smooth as you want it. seasoning is up to you; I use salt only. A staple here in this cold and long winter.

 

I don't use salt when cooking never have but last few years hubby has moderately high blood pressure, so can't use it.

Just cut up and portioned the Turkey that we had yesterday, got 22 meals from it.

 

Just enjoyed some more mushrooms

This time with tagliatelli ,spinach ,cheese sauce and a side slaw.

Still have plenty of mushrooms left!!

 

Aha!!..a fellow mushroom muncher!!

 

Today will be another soup-er day! No work, and maybe a slice or two of good Irish Cheddar at the bottom of the bowl..

 

Breaded cod fillets, baked potato, sweetcorn, homemade cucumber pickle,pickled onion,grated raw beetroot, salad and a small piece of strong cheddar.
