It Was All Yellow...

If you've been wondering why I haven't posted much about my food lately (and indeed have missed the last two WIAWs, sad times) it is because there have been way too many of these type of meals for my liking...

Today's lunch - quorn bbq & cheese fillet, potato waffles, curly fries (Liam wanted both so I felt I needed to too?!!) and sweetcorn:

Tuesday dinner - breaded camembert, nachos and dips:

Monday dinner - paneer & pea curry with white rice (I normally have brown, but Liam has decided he's allergic to brown rice so I ended up cooking all white):

Monday lunch - breaded mozzarella fingers & cranberry sauce:

Random breakfast - toast with pear preserve. This is an example of a "good" breakfast, normally I just have coffee.

Urgh! I miss green vegetables! And porridge! And cooking proper meals rather than just chucking frozen "party food" into the oven!

We are also now without a car as it failed its MOT this morning and the garage don't have time to do the repairs until after Christmas (our own fault for not realising the MOT was due until past the last minute!) which doesn't help. But we are borrowing my Mum's car to do a Waitrose/Lidl shop this afternoon, so I am planning to stock up on lots of fruit and vegetables, tofu etc - we don't need any more party food! Although Liam will no doubt want more curly fries as we just used the last of them. I don't even really like this type of food - I find it way too greasy - but if Liam wants to eat it then I usually just give in and cook it for us both. I need to get some energy back and do some proper meal plans to get us back on track with eating healthy meals!

Does anyone else find that they eat more unhealthily at this time of year? Do you buy lots of frozen "party" food too? We did a Tesco shop a couple of weeks ago and ended up buying lots of breaded cheese, curly fries etc for the freezer, which we never normally do during the rest of the year. We have been relying on it too much though - it's been so busy the last few weeks that I haven't been cooking properly, but I definitely miss it. Tomorrow my only plan is to spend the whole day in the kitchen baking holiday gifts, so I will try to eat some healthy meals in between spoonfuls of cookie dough!!
