Category: Food I like

Bar du Marche is a quaint little french Bistro beside Berwick Street market. I have eaten here a few times but have to say it is actually my guilty little secret where I meet a select group of friends a few times a year. I must confess that we aren’t drawn to it for the […]

My love of all things curry related is well known so I loved this sweet potato and lentil curry soup. It was hearty and spicy and also had chickpeas which added a bit of bulk. Also had my usual rock salt skinny popcorn

No breakfast today so enjoyed this banana at my desk!  

Was feeling hungry and was challenged by wanting comfort food thats a bit naughty but also wanting to be healthy.  I had some roast chicken left over from my Roast chicken dinner so challenged myself to make a healthy version of Coronation chicken.  I have to say it was a triumph (well to me anyway- […]

Trying to be a bit healthy today so have opted for Pret thai chicken soup with skinny popcorn to eat at my desk.  I like most of the Pret soups but this one is a favourite.  its hot and spicy with a real kick!  The rock salt skinny popcorn never fails to please as it […]

A very healthy start to the day with a banana and a plum at my desk.  I have a really busy week coming up with lots of travel and plenty of socialising so I am keen to have one day of slightly sensible eating.  Fruit is not my favourite food but this will bne a […]

After a long afternoon in town with friends, I opted to cook a chicken stir fry for dinner. I cooked the chicken breast in soy, garlic, ginger and chilli and added beansprouts, mushrooms, carrot, red onion and broccoli spears. I added more soy to moisten and cooked until sizzling hot. I always enjoy this and […]

A light and tasty lunch of chicken, salad and balsamic dressing before heading into town with some pals for a mooch around the shops.  

A bowl of Special K with red berries for Sunday morning breakfast watching something for the weekend.  Served with plenty of ice cold milk, this will set me up for a productive day when my mission is to write all my Christmas cards

Had a couple of mates round for a tv supper and the X factor final. Decided to roast a chicken and roasted the potatoes in its juices. Also made a cauliflower and brocolli cheese- from scratch I have to add! Served the whole lot with gravy and it was delicious. Was very well received by […]

After largely surviving on bread based meals for a couple of days, I have managed to stock up. I bought some chicken and a superfood salad from M+S with cous cous, carrots, edamame beans, chick peas, lentilsn red pepper, spinach pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, spring onions, pomegranite seeds and a honey and lime dressing. It […]

Still haven’t bought any food so its toast again for breakfast. This time with raspberry jam  

cupboards are bare so its a ham roll for me.  I found a roll and a couple of slices of ham in the freeze.  Am totally uninspired!

Felt a little bit rough this morning after a big party last night. 2 slices of Hovis wheatgerm toasted and buttered really helped! Was a bit traumatised to wake up and discover that there was only one teabag in the jar- have managed to eke out 3 cups from that bag!! Must go to shop! […]

A quiet lunch in the work canteen. I opted for some chicken caesar salad and soup. The soup was italian bean and vegetable. Much as I like a good soup, there is nothing I dislike more than a bad soup and this was bad. Very bland and unappetising. I was very disappointed. The salad fared […]

Whenever I just cant think of what do eat or just am not that hungry-  a bowl of Heinz tomato soup just never fails to deliver.  There is something about the comfort factor of this childhood favourite that just manages to give me a hug.  I served this with some left over rice cakes and […]
