Breakfast hm kefir then two boiled eggs and LC roll
Lunch kimchi some cheese and LC seeded crackers then two strawberries with hm yoghurt
Dinner inspired by @DJC3 who tried it last week I tried out the new chicken kebabs from M and S grills range. It comes with a dressing but I held back on that on my kebab just used the parmesan topping. Served with salad. Unfortunately I didn't find a yellow stickered one so it's a bit pricey at £10 for two but it was tasty and very easy too!
Just had LC brownie with decaffeinated coffee and just about to head out into garden to do my evening walking and podcast listening.

Glad you liked the chicken Caesar kebab @shelley262 ,you were good to swerve the dressing, I don’t think it was too carby but I still gave Paul the ‘biggest half’
I just had black coffee this morning, then Aquafit class.
Lunch was bacon, scrambled egg and avocado.
Dinner- sirloin steak with mushrooms, salad dressed with EVOO and ACV and a glass of red

Yesterday breakfast was homemade pork pattie with fennel and sage and a soft boiled egg on the lovely and soft lc bread I can get here. Full of ingredients I wouldn’t add at home but a treat when we’re here. A few blackberries in chia pudding.
Lunch was griled chicken and Greek salad
Dinner was grilled burger on mixed leaves with Gorgonzola, and some quick “pickled” red cabbage and cucumber.
Todays breakfast has been the same, lunch will probably be sardine on toast with tomato and feta.
Dinner I’m planning on grilling chicken to make fajitas using store bought lc wraps and a small portion of black bean and corn Mexican type salad.
There won’t be much variety in food for the next couple of weeks as we are only here for a few weeks and are trying to buy groceries with a view to having nothing to throw out when we leave. For example, last nights red cabbage was soaked in white vinegar I’d originally bought in the winter trip to clean windows with!

How do you cook your spiralized courgettes? Or do you add them raw?

A good question @MommaE.
For this particular all-in-one-pan recipe, I stir the courgetti in raw. They need very little cooking.
Usually, I serve this dish straight away, but if you let it stand overnight so the flavours mingle, it tastes even better, IMO.

B: a splendid buffet of scrambled eggs, cold grilled vegs and cheese. I also squirrels away extra cheese for later.
Sadly I couldn't resist the 6 types of croissants (though I only have 2 bites if one) array of fruit (2 slices kiwi) and various other carbs (did have 1 small savory pastry)
Cost was a spike of 9.5
L: cheeses saved from breakfast then a salad of tuna, mozzarella and tomatoes. Drank only water. Later shared 1 scoop ice cream
D: prosecco (and crisps), the sword fish grilled with veg. A very large glass wine..

Was going to have breakfast but the workmen arrived so I just took some slices of ham out of a packet and a small chunk of cheese. Then I dropped the rest of the new pack of ham and it spread itself all over the kitchen floor. Silly me! Then I tasted the ham and figured that it was the best thing to have happened to it. The few slices I took also went into the compost bin. I ate 2 tiny chunks of the cheese and immediately my stomach rebelled, so I didn't have any more. The effect remained all day.
2nd meal was to have been a chickpea salad, which I actually made to take with me to a pot luck meal for a small gathering of friends. I went and took it with me, but Mrs Tum reminded me not to take liberties so I just had a cup of tea. Once home again, I put a salmon fillet in some foil and baked it quickly with a sliced up lemon. Tum accepted that alright, so I'm not going to bed empty.
