Whole 30 - Day 11

Breakfast - Breakfast sausage, poached egg and mushrooms

We cook the sausage like a meatloaf in a square tin and cut it into 12 pieces.

Lunch - Chicken salad, 2 clementines

After we had eaten our slow cooked chicken on Tuesday, I stripped all the meat from the carcass, and then put the carcass back into the slow cooker with 2 litres of water to make stock. The cold meat is great for salads.

Dinner - Asian meatballs, carrots and broccoli

The rest of the tray of meatballs will be going to the bring and share lunch on Sunday

Supper - bowl of mixed berries

Whole 30 - Day 10

Breakfast - bacon, poached egg and mushrooms

I'm not sure we've quite got the timing right to get the egg and the bacon on the plate at the same time!

Lunch - courgette soup, sliced apple with almond butter, 3 dates

Quick lunch needed before my exercise class

Dinner - Grilled pork chops topped with apple sauce, carrots, broccoli and Brussel sprouts

Supper - Stewed plums topped with flaked almonds

Whole 30 - Day 9

Breakfast - bacon, poached egg and mushroom

The ultimate skill of getting the timing right so they all finish at the same time - failed!

I started back at swimming today, possibly for the first time in 5 years. Having lined up a swim buddy, I was commited to go - and did 32 lengths which is 800 metres.

Lunch - salmon salad, 2 clementines, 3 dates

Dinner - slow roasted chicken, carrots and broccoli followed by a raw fruit bar (blackcurrent)

Supper - stewed plums

Whole 30 - Day 8

Breakfast - Omelette with onions, courgettes , mushrooms and red pepper

We tend to have omelettes as part of our 'getting back to work' on Mondays, and they are a good way of using up bits of vegetables.

Lunch - Salmon salad, half a mango, 3 dates.

I bought a mango in Aldi as they were part of the Super 6, and it was getting soft.

Dinner - Poached salmon, boiled potatoes, caarrots and cauliflower

The potatoes were the last from the bag we bought for Christmas, just enough a couple each

Supper - half a mango

Menu planning 9 - 15 January

A catching up week to get back in the routine of work, admin and other activities

Whole 30 - Day 7

A slightly challenging day, we had to go and visit my father who had been rushed into hospital.

Breakfast - breakfast sausage, poached egg and mushrooms

Dinner - Sunday roast at the Hungry Horse - chicken, 1 roast potato, carrots, cauliflower and green beans. We tend to do a bit of 'vegetable swapping' so that different people get the vegetables they will eat!

a cup of black tea on the way home at 7pm

Tea (about 8.30pm) - salmon salad

Supper - cup of courgette soup

We would normally have bacon for breakfast on a weekend, but those student children have eaten it all!

I freeze extra portions of dinner, so I can pull out a quick dinner if necessary
