Store cupboard fortnight: 5-9-13

Yesterday went fine as long as we ignore the cake in the evening.  It was a store cupboard (aka freezer) item so that was OK, but not so good from the healthy eating perspective!
Today features tomatoes.  Gorgeous, sweet, juicy, flavoursome, mini-tomatoes.  Not so much  store cupboard but garden!

B:  poached egg on a bed of tomatoes (fried or roasted, I need to decide!)
L:  Tuna dip with carrot sticks, mini tomatoes, slice of cake, plum
D:  Hairy Dieters freezer meal, rice, strawberry yoghurt

Decaf, water, more tomatoes!

Sunday, 1 September 2013

Cheaper than chips menu: 1-9-13

Breakfast:  porridge with fruit and yoghurt
Lunch:  vegetable tortilla, salad, coleslaw
Dinner:  any leftover tortilla with runner beans and broccoli

Yesterday I made six single portion lasagnas for the freezer - perfect for tired evenings.


Today I will make the first batch of tomato sauce from the freezer, based on the roasted tomato mixture from earlier in the week but then pushed through the mouli to get rid of the skin and seeds.  Yum!
