I'm eating more fish this week, and had some cod, with roasted veggies in olive oil (butternut squash, aubergine, yellow pepper, courgette and mushrooms) and a couple of slices of haloumi cheese and a splash of balsamic vinegar. It was very tasty.
I'm going to go out for an evening walk now, as it's still light and good weather.
Really happy that it's a long weekend ahead, and if you'd like to share what you had for your evening meal - I would love to hear - as it's great to hear ideas for meals.
Wishing everyone a great weekend.

Many Thanks moreless - I had seen recipes with cauliflower mash - which i didn't fancy- (don't know why i quite like cauliflower). I also thought celeriac might work?
Thinking the butternut squash might also work on cottage pie too...
Will give this a whirl....
On the nutritional ratio's - are they from a particular source -curious as there seems to be so many different combo's
Have a good weekend and thank you
PS just altered goals in MFP - and the grams of intake look quite different now. Little bit extra for carbs , protein reduced ( which i wanted to achieve) ....as for fat....stratosphere number...
The ratio's are what were given to me and it depends if you're very low carb, medium, or liberal. To be honest, I don't count, it's too much hassle. I prefer to not eat some things, eat a limited amount of other things and a liberal amount of others, it seems to work
It's just a case of doing what works for you and keeping a sensible head on.
I'm glad to have helped, you have a good weekend too
That look delish Zest. I often have roasted veg and chicken, all cooked on a baking tray, with whatever spices you fancy. Very easy and satisfying meal. But tonight was mushroom omelette.
Thanks. Roasted veg and chicken is also one of my staples - but I was trying to eat more fish this week, so was mixing it up a bit. I also like to put spices on too - I love Cajun spiced chicken. I also like oregano in with the veg if I do a tomato based sauce. Yummy!
I love it! Thanks for introducing me to it! like it on eggs too, and mushrooms. I might try it in an aspargus bake soon, its getting to that stage of the asparagus season where we eat it every meal so i need to get creative!
I like putting 'Hot paprika' spice on my eggs and also on smoked haddock or smoked salmon - but I will try the Cajun spice on eggs next time to see how that goes - I imagine I'll like it!
Great that you've got lots of Asparagus to eat - I've not had any of that for a while, must look out for some.
It's really easy - though you only get 8-10 weeks picking then you have to stop to allow the plants to grow into ferns - it's quite hard to stop!!
The thing is time. It takes 3 years to properly establish a patch - and the earliest you could start would be this winter. But if you are staying put fir a while its so worth it. I get probably more than 100 spears a week at the moment - there's about 10 spears in the bundlesyou buy. will be more when it warms up. So, patience required but great pay off.
Oh that's lovely that you had your holiday in Grenada. I bet that was really great. Fantastic that you tried some different spices and fish dishes. Swordfish - wow, that sounds good! I will have to give it a try sometime.
We had roasted chicken legs and veg, just like that last night I love meals that just involve throwing things in one pan or baking tray and then leaving them until it's time to eat!
My husband is just baking some salmon - he is a lovely man. It is my turn to cook but I am looking for a good motivational photo for my first weighin hosting duty tomorrow so he is doing it. Think he got hungry waiting for me!
Yes, I had lapsed on the fish front, which was why I decided to take action and buy some fish this week - I had Sea bass fillet last night and Cod tonight. I'm also hoping to try a Vegetarian recipe on the weekend, but haven't decided which one to do yet - it will be fun to look at recipe books and find something - or I might look around at the Recipe 'Topics' in the forum for ideas - as there are lots there.
Mmmm, your Fillet Steak with New potatoes, Asparagus, Mushrooms and Peppercorn sauce sounds really special. Great that you have had your meal cooked by your lovely husband. Enjoy!
Not yet, you mean Pineapple27 's recipe don't you - not cauliflower cheese with pineapple? lol I will have a look for it - are your recommending it as a great recipe? I do like cauliflower cheese - and I've not had it for a long time.
I've just found the recipe you mentioned, and it does look really good!
Steak strips and ratatouille for me tonight- but no photograph I'm afraid. I will buy fish this weekend- I certainly don't eat enough of it. Thanks for sharing the lovely photo- enjoy the weekend.
Your Steak Strips and Ratatouille sounds really delicious. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy the fish you're planning to buy and that you have a really great weekend.

I had pasta with veg, tomato sauce and cashew butter stirred in, with a dried fig and a square of dark chocolate for afters, and just water to accompany. I have a 10k race tomorrow morning so keeping it simple. Am planning a hake and veg based dinner tomorrow night, not too different to your pic. Hope you had an excellent eve
Your meal sounds lovely - I bet the cashew butter gave a depth of flavour to your pasta meal. Your hake meal sounds great - so that will be something to enjoy later today, after your 10km Race - good luck with the race, and I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks very much, Kate, it was delicious. Your meal sounds great - baked salmon and stir-fried vegetables - yum! Like you say, quick and easy, and VERY tasty.
Salmon fillet on a bed of leeks cooked in a Lille lemon juice. Trying to eat more fish as well...sea bass tonight but roast tomorrow courtesy of a friend.
Lots of fish being eaten - quite a few people have mentioned fish - your meal sounds lovely. I hope you enjoy your Sea Bass tonight, and that you have a great Roast tomorrow, courtesy of your friend.
