Last night was a fried egg and fried chestnut mushrooms with a slice o' toast. Then a snack-size muller-rice, a banana and an oaty biscuit and a few choccy raisins.... Someone was hungry!
Not sure about tonight - perhaps something with sweet potatoes. Maybe sweet potato fries with some fish...
Tonight I'm making myself a sort of vegetable toad in the hole using mushrooms and red pepper instead of sausages - I'm having it with a butterbean, celeriac and sweet potato mash, steamed broccoli & cauliflower and gravy. I've not made the vegetable toad in the hole before so it should be.... interesting!
Yes, I'm having gravy. I did think about quorn sausages which I quite like - but I try to avoid what my DH calls 'pretend meat' as much as possible - he still thinks I'm being a bit faddy about not eating meat during the week so its just easier not to give him any reason to think I'm getting bored with it.
I'm looking forward to my weekend food - I eat freerange and/or organic fish, chicken or meat at the weekends. Interesting how not eating it during the week makes me appreciate it more at the weekends.
I know what you mean about 'pretend meat' I like it though and it is much lower in fat and calories than the real thing, we have some friends coming to dinner on Saturday and I am doing a thai green curry with chicken and a thai red one with quorn pieces for Katie cos she is veggie, I am gonna see if her hubby can tell which is real meat cos he is a confirmed carnivore!!
That all depends on your reasons for not eating it I spose, my friend Katie doesnt eat it for ethical reasons so the meat free stuff helps her to be a caring soul and not eat the animals she loves but still have a tasty tea!! (I know veggie stuff is lovely too!) I was veggie on the same grounds for 18 months but i am afraid I missed the real thing, I am still an animal lover but I know at the ripe old age of 37 I will not change the world (my idealistic 18 year old thoughts) and so I am ashamed to admit I do partake of the flesh!!!!!

Reason: Edited to say I know veggie meals are nice too!
I've got fennel and leek risotto with a carrot, parsnip and mixed leaf salad. I had some of the salad for lunch with a portion of broccoli and garlic soup and it's pretty nice.
I've also got a slice of carrot cake because it's running club night
I suppose those really big mushrooms would be nice in it
