What's For Dinner ?

What's For Dinner ?

Hi all ... me again .... 😊

I know there are many days when trying to work our what to provide my tribe for dinner is in the too-hard basket, but it's my problem anyway ....

My friend @Former-Member is great at quick and easy meals .... hoping she'll post her Tawney Soup recipe here .... but the one I liked this week was baked beans on toast with melted cheese on top ... even found an image for it ....

Howzat ??

What's your favourite go-to recipe on a burn-out night when there are mouths to feed and not much energy left to get it together ?

My mum used to just boil some eggs .... buttered toast and some lettuce .... that was enough.

Hello @Shaz51, how are things?

I am thinking I might have to make zucchini slice after seeing that similar one you posted, delicious, plus it's good cold or hot the next day 🙂 Just have to wip up a yum salad with it, maybe I'll attempt a Caprese Salad, just to make it extra fancy ❤️ How are your kidneys treating you today?

In response to: Re: What's For Dinner ?

Re: What's For Dinner ?

Hello @Former-Member

zucchini slice is great hot or cold -- one of mum``s favourite, so making her some too

that salad looks nice

Thank you @Former-Member xx yes the kidney is going ok -- saw the dietician last week and she wants me to reduce sugar , salt from my diet , drink more water and lose some weight

I have lost 1kg so far

Hubby now has very high cholestrol as well as Mi , and finding it hard to cut things out of his diet

How are you this week

In response to: Re: What's For Dinner ?

Re: What's For Dinner ?

Oh @Shaz51 that sounds really tough having to cut all of that out, well done on losing that weight, can't imagine that being easy at all! And on top of that your hubby sounds like his diet is really hard to keep up, are you having to cook lots at home?

My mum is on a similar diet as she is pre diabetic, but she managed to do very well over the last 9 months and has lost 20kgs or something ! Pretty impressive, she basically lives off vitaweats, salad and chicken/salmon and cups of tea haha. But she definitely is going to make sure she enjoys Easter choccy bunnies next week.

I have had a good week thank you, it's been really busy with work and uni and also looking for a new place to live and keep getting rejected so I am pretty tired of the constant excitement and then disappointment cycle as we have been looking for months. Atleast our current rental is month to month so there is no immediate rush! Other than that, all good here 🙂

Re: What's For Dinner ?

Wow @Former-Member, you have been busy

Congratulations to your mum

I am pre diabetic because of the kidney ,

Ha ha I love my tea too , and to @NikNik, I drink a lot of cuppas on the forum

Yes the doctor says he could of had a stroke or a heart attack any time , so now Hubby is trying to go off his meds with no support

None of the 4 step children are living with us now , all adults now , and thy are so much like their dad which his MI runs in his family -- passed down

Re: What's For Dinner ?

Dinner tonight is quiche and salad. I'm a big fan of zucchini slice too but sometimes it's nice to have some crust.

Think I deserve it. Been walking quite a bit.
