Well tonight I have had a really really tasty tea. Breaded cod with broccoli cauliflower and parsnip in a homemade cheese sauce with chilli and sweet potato mash. (not tried sweet potato mash before)
The picture is pre cooked.
Since starting on this site I have come out of my comfort zone in relation to vegetables - other than peas as i wasn't a real veg lover. I am now giving most veg a go and enjoying the experience.Even Mr T enjoyed it and he is a fuddy duddy.
So what have you had or having tonight? Still need to progress and try something new. 😀

Oh that sounds lovely Kinbun I love roast chicken -haven't had it for sometime now. 😀
Paella 😊 Or at least my version of it !!! Rice with seafood and vegetables flavoured with paella seasoning I bought in Spain last month 😊 😊😊 finished off with a Spanish orange ❤️ Very yummy
I eat a Paleo diet so I had a steak, 3 boiled potatoes with a few slivers of butter, artichokes (in a jar) and a small portion of carrots. I cooked myself a corn cob and left it on the stove and forgot about it until my husband showed it to me a hour later!!
Hi TeganSara not sure what a Paleo diet is but your meal sounds delicious I love steak have it at least once a week. Sorry about the sweetcorn - oops!😁
Paleo is good for if you have autoimmune disease, and it cuts out gluten, grains (no rice! no bread!! no pasta!!!), beans and most dairy (my grassfed butter is a small and acceptable cheat). It focuses on meat and veg. It works for me, but we're all different.
Well done for increasing your veg intake, it will do you a world of good. Look out for all the different ways you can buy and eat veg. As well as jars of artichokes, I like jars of roasted red peppers - too good to be considered a veg I think!
thank you for your email I appreciate your time responding.
Interestingly in my 20's I was diagnosed with a condition called M E which is myalgicencophalomyelitis.
I was really ill and I was sensitive to all foods.I had total food intolerance. I lost so much weight I was too weak to mobilise and my weight plumited to 5 stone. At 5 9inch you can only imagine how I looked. My immune system didn't exist. Still slightly dodgy to be honest.
I remember with clarity that Mr T had to carry me to the bathroom I was so weak. At that time this wasn't a well known condition and little understood.
Not to dramatise it all family thought I was dying in front of them and to be frank I thought I was dying. My GP was pulling his hair out.
Anyway with a correct diagnosis and correct management I bounced back but it probably took 5 years.
I was very sensitive to anything I ate. I couldn't look at a vegetable never mind eating it.However in time i have gradually been able to add more foods to my diet and know eating a relatively normal diet.
Interestingly I am probably eating similar to you. That's why I find your diet interesting.
I have heard a lot about ME and it is a confusing one - it's so clearly related to autoimmune issues and yet I still haven't seen it truly classified. I'm glad you are doing better these days but I know it must still have lasting effects on you.
Happy to talk to you more about Paleo if you're interested. It's not the approved NHS way to lose weight but I have seen a lot of anecdotal evidence for it helping people with AI disease and I work in the area so I have spoken to many people who have used it.
You certainly can't take health for granted, can you! Take care
I was home later than I expected so my fallback dinner was mushroom stroganoff with wild rice. Its a ready meal from morrisons but very filling. Had some butter beans with it for extra protein & fibre.
That looks tasty. As I've only just seen this post I'll say what I had last night. Sausage casserole ( Tesco low fat sausages), steamed broccoli and carrots,peas and jacket potato. It was so nice, especially the sausages.
Oh Nessie we have have had tonight sausages with cheese and spring onion very tasty with dry fry egg and reduced salt baked beans - lush! and i forgot wholemeal toast. Mmmmmm😀
