Another work day.

The menu today is:

Breakfast:
2 x poached eggs on hot buttered toast
and of course the ever present cup of Tea 🙂
( I am MOST impressed with myself that I managed to get my eggs onto the toast without breaking them.  I was expecting to destroy them because I needed to take a picture 🙂

Lunch:
1 x Cheese sandwich (which I toasted)
Cup of Soup.  
(I am actually pleasantly surprised with this home brand soup.  I would not ordinarily buy this as they have been, in the past, far to salty and without flavour for me.  I was planning on using some of my milk to add to the cup, but have not needed to.  Don’t get me wrong they are still a sachet of artificial colours and flavouring, but they are adequate for a “sometimes” food and are quite satisfying.)

Snack
2 x Wafer biscuits  
Cup of Tea with milk

Dinner
Pasta boiled with a cup of mixed vege, stir through 1/3 can of diced tomato, top with cheese and grill until the cheese is melted.   Who doesn’t LOVE melty cheese  mmmmm 🙂

Back to work today 🙁

The fact that I remembered to take my lunch to work is a miracle in itself. We have a well stocked kitchen at work  with a lot of leftover meals in the freezer. So lunch is usually “something” from the freezer heated through in the microwave.

On the menu today we had:
Breakfast
Bacon and eggs fried in a little butter. Serve on top of buttered toast
Sprinkle with a little bit of chopped spinach leaves to make it look pretty !!
Team with a cuppa and you have the perfect start to the day 

Lunch:
1 x Salad sandwich
1 x Cheese sandwich (which I toasted)
Cup of Tea with milk

Snack
2 x Wafer biscuits 
Cup of Tea with milk

Dinner
Chicken on a bed of beans and tomato

Chicken on a bed of beans and tomato
In a pan, heat some butter and gently fry a piece of chicken until cooked through and golden brown. ( I removed the bone from one of my drumsticks and made a “fillet”)
Remove chicken from the pan and keep warm
Pour 1/3 can of diced tomato into the pan the chicken was cooked in.
Stir well scraping up all the ” chickeny” bits off the bottom of the pan.
Add 1/3 can 3 bean mix and simmer until everything is hot and the sauce reduces slightly.
Slice the chicken into pieces and place on top of the tomato and bean mix.
