Breakfast of my breakfast, dinner and tea, or as some might call it breakfast, lunch and dinner. Either way it was a good food day.
One that started with my absolute favourite peanut butter ever and only discovered by me quite recently. It's crunchy, delicious and very rich ... and also very addictive. At a usual price of £3 a jar it is also a real treat but I stocked up in December when Waitrose had a 20% off all Deliciously Ella's Plant range of foods so I am okay for a couple of months yet. 😀
Ingredients - Peanuts (99.2%), Sea Salt (0.8%)
Verdict 10/10
Lunch was a simple bowl of soup, photographed here when I made it and portioned it all out to go into the freezer.
It started off as a real hodge podge of leftovers, sad mixed salad leaves and random bits from the bottom of the fridge and whizzed up beautifully after half an hour of cooking.
I made up a few scones to have after the soup, well I ate two of them and put the other two into the freezer for another day. No wonder the contents of my freezer never seem to go down, as quickly as I take things out I add things in.
My final meal of the day made use of the other half of the pouch of microwaveable rice that I had opened for the stuffed peppers a couple of days earlier. Don't panic it had been kept very chilled in the fridge from the second it was opened until I used it here. Served with some of the Mediterranean veggies and a garlic Kyiv it was a very tasty tea.
A good days food on what was a miserably wet and windy day.
What are you having for your tea/dinner on this first Sunday in March?

I love making soups from all the wonky veggies and outer leaves - so satisfying in so many ways, not least financially.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to turn random leftovers and offcuts into something warming and tasty isn't it. And of course it nicely tidies up the fridge too. :-)
DeleteThat's what freezers are for though - take something out and put something new in. It's the stuff that stays there for ever that I worry about! :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of my fave soups is made from broccoli stems, cauliflower leaves and stem and (clean) carrot peelings (plus a few other bits and bobs. Even more delicious because it's stuff that most folks throw away.
(There's a cue for a song there . . . Underground, Overground . . . . ) xx
Haha yes!! I am determined to get everything out of the freezer that has been lurking for far too long. I want to set up a more 'in and out' system of basics and homemade ready meals.
DeleteYes, I love using up all the usually thrown away bits, and there is so much flavour and goodness in all the outer leaves and stems isn't there. 'Wombling free' in the kitchen is the way to go. :-)
What a good food day you had, it all looks scummy. Today as a special treat I am having a couple of lamb chops from a local farm/butchery with sweet potato, cabbage and carrots and hisnibs is having chicken (he can’t tell one meat from another and chicken is the only one he recognises 🤷♀️).

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lovely meal for you both. It's nice to have slight differences on the plates if you are both getting what you enjoy the most isn't it. :-)
DeleteThank you for reminding me how delicious peanut butter added to porridge is - made my breakfast this morning very yummy , had the last of my own home grown apples,cinnamon and yoghurt in it as well, has certainly “set me up “ for a day gardening in the sunshine here in Hampshire
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good day,

I only discovered adding peanut butter to my porridge quite recently. I was grating in my usual Brazil nuts and crumbling the walnuts, when suddenly I thought why not some peanut butter as well. Now I am hooked.
DeleteIt gloriously sunny here today, in fact the washing is out on the line, but it's still too cold for me to do anything in our garden other than tidy around a bit.
All looks delicious and healthy. Breakfast was bran flakes with small banana, reduced price raspberries and walnuts with oatmilk ( i have had so much porridge over the winter i needed a change). Lunch will be homemade smoky lentil and tomato soup and dinner will be homemade bean loaf (makes 6 portions so eat 1 and freeze 5 means easy dinners for a few weeks ) with roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, green beans and peas. I do like food! Like yourself my freezer contents are constantly changing and never quite empty!
ReplyDeleteNow, that all sounds absolutely delicious ... and VERY healthy. :-)
DeleteBreakfast was crumpets. Just finished lunch which was chicken, veg and mash........followed by homemade rice pudding with red berry fruits, the frozen sort which I cooked because I prefer them like that.
ReplyDeletePeanut butter on porridge, unusual but I do get it 😀😍

Crumpets are my downfall, they just call for lots of butter don't they, until they are dripping in fact. BUT, you have just made me think that maybe peanut butter on them would be tasty and a smidge healthier for me. :-)
DeleteI would have loved all of that food except the peanut butter-it all looks so appetising but the soup would be my favourite. Stir fried chicken with lentil noodles tonight for dinner followed by pears and greek yoghurt. Catriona
ReplyDeleteAlan eats all foods except peanut butter, so he would agree with you. He hates the stuff, even though he loves butter and peanuts!! I am having a similar tea tonight. :-)
DeleteLooks delicious, but, I'll have the peanut butter on toast, please, as I don't much care for porridge/oatmeal. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely delicious on toast isn't it, that's my usual go to quick breakfast or snack.
DeleteToday was oatmeal with my applesauce (frozen from my tree) and walnuts, lunch was Burger King with college daughter and dinner was arrachera burritos with onion, cheese, salsa and caesar salad. Lots of coffee!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a really good food day ... and oh yes to lots of coffee. :-)
DeleteYour meals sound wonderful. One of these days I will make some scones.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Watch out if you do, they are pretty addictive. Easy to make and delicious. 🙂
