Day Seven - Final Day of Challenge ... and The Leftovers

The final day of the challenge and it was scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast again, same photo, same scraping of mayonnaise on the toast before being topped with a mound of eggs.

That's the last of the eggs, at the end of the week.

Once again I am 'double breading' and for lunch I had beans on toast. 

 I planned it badly ... on day five I had a third of a tin of beans on two slices of toast, and here I have half a tin of beans on my final slice of bread, which was the crust of the loaf.  I'm strange in that I'm not keen on the crusts (heels/ends, whatever you like to call them), I usually use them for breadcrumbs or croutons, or even toast them, crumble them finely and put them out on the bird table ... our chubby pigeons love them ... but smothered in this many beans I managed to eat this one. 😄

So that's the last of the bread on the final day, I planned that well. 

My final meal of this week's challenge was the second portion of pasta with a good sprinkle of my grated cheese.  It was not quite as nice the second time around, but for cooked pasta that had lived in the fridge for two days it wasn't too bad.

My cupboard leftovers at the end of this £25 shopping from home week ... minus a jar of curry sauce which I can't find, but I know I haven't eaten!! 

The mayonnaise bottle has changed from the original one, as that only had a couple of tablespoonfuls left in it so that was used up very quickly

The leftovers in the fridge.

I have decided that the Shepherdess pie filling and the cheese, along with a bit of onion from the salad bowl will be the filling for three pies with a pastry crust, and the salad will be eaten alongside one of the pie meals.

So, it's been a really good week.  

I think that I've eaten well and very healthily, I've felt satisfied every day and having the rough menu plan to work from and to keep me on track, has meant that I've made pretty good use of everything that I chose from the cupboard and the fridge at the start of the week.

I won't be able to go into a second week as something has cropped up at home and I need to help deal with that as a priority.  But this one week has been good and is perhaps something I will consider doing again in the near future.

Thanks for reading along, and I hope at least some of you found it a bit interesting.  It was good for me to get it all down on here and use my blog as a way to keep myself focused.
