Today went better in terms of following this - maybe I’m getting the hang of it!

Changed breakfast - had rice crisps and milk. For once in our household, we actually finished off the milk before it was out of date! Wow!

Stuck to the soup for lunch, and had an orange with it. I like that combination. But I left the couscous salad to eat as a packed lunch on Monday.

For my snack, I had one of my new museli biscuit bars - recipe soon. Lovely crunchy biscuits with plenty of fibre and dried fruit. Already a lunchbox favourite! Also cooked up some rainbow fairy cakes.

Dinner very close to plan - but my roast potatoes had got freezer burn and weren’t any good. My roast chicken is always lovely and cooked well - my ’secret’ is to un-’truss’ the bird, flip it onto its breast and pull the legs and wings outwards into a ‘crucifixion’ pose. This allows better even cooking of the whole bird. And lovely ‘picky’ wings, if you love them like I do!
I always love roast chicken - but we’re not having it next week, as BP was commenting on how we should find something else to roast - something that can be done for two people. I’m thinking roast pork tenderloin.

Didn’t want any more to eat after that, BP and I got busy in a Marvel RPG game together until we both were too tired to carry on.

So - recap:
Daily servings of fruit and veg: 2 (Must focus for next week)
Daily servings of dairy: 1
Daily servings of high-fibre: 2, without fruit/veg: 1
Weekly servings so far fish: 2
Weekly servings so far high-iron:3

Other news - I have pictures coming hopefully today
