There are days, every so often, where I haven't much energy, and also I just want to browse on snacks all the time...
I've finished of the last few macadamia nuts, dented a packet of potato snacks, demolished a snack pack of chocolate covered rice cakes and had a couple of chocolate minstrels.... there are still three hours before bedtime. Let's hope the eaty eaty eaty mood is passing!
Bubble and squeak is proving to be a pretty good dairy- egg- wholegrain- breakfast alternative. The other day I prepped and cooked some swede, potato and cabbage, mushed it all up and stuck it in a pot in the ridge. It's been dead simple to just heat a little oil in a pan and sizzle up a small portion. Salt, pepper, maybe ketchup or Norfolk Nobbly pickle for variety... yum yum.
We've been using Albert Bartlett baking potatoes recently, so flavourful, such a lovely texture. I put one out to see if it would chit, and it's beginning to she sign of growth from the eyes. Excellent! I hope I can manage to grow some!

Food glorious food!
I sometimes have 'eaty' days....and then feel guilty!
ReplyDeleteI don't feel guilty if there's a decent gap between eaty days
Delete"Eaty" days come around here, too. Nuts and chocolate along with anything crispy is very tempting to me.
ReplyDeleteBiscuits! Hide the biscuit tin!
DeleteToast, then more toast, and still more toast....
ReplyDeleteOh yes, hot buttered toast
DeleteI think our bodies crave food when we're tired. Like food will give us energy and we'll be full of zip. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of it that way...
DeleteMunchie days happen - one just has to accommodate them. Your body's desire for energy from sugar?
ReplyDeleteI like your bubble and squeak breakfast idea.
I'm about to prep another batch of potato, swede and cabbage. Looking forward to it already!
DeleteI have to find a way to curb the munchies. I find I tend to do it if I stay home more. If I'm out and about I don't tend to snack - probably because they aren't at hand.
ReplyDeleteI think being at home is a lot of the problem, too easy to snaffle a biscuit from the tin as you go past
