For lunch today, I am serving sandwiches: any bread you have (I serve white today and brown tomorrow, to supply enough fibre). Butter to spread ( it is more expensive than a spread, but you only need to spread it thinly- I was always told that margarine is not healthy as it releases too many hydrogen atoms in your body, but I am not an expert...so who is right?) I bought a few slices of "carver" ham, which I place on the bread. I also add a slice or two of yellow cheese (you can cut various shapes for youngesters , if you have time) and a lettuce leaf (obviously washed). If your child is not so keen on a lettuce, try a part of the leaf or a slice of cucumber or tomatoe.
For dinner, I am going to serve a vegetable soup (recipe below) - I used some left over potatoes - I cut them into slices and added them to the soup while it was boiling. I also cut some fat off from meat (pork) and added it to the soup to increase the flavour.
The pork was cut into small chunks, marinated in the sauce (left over from the other day, kept in the fridge) and fried. I will serve some noodles (worth getting a pack of two for £1.00) and apple quarters. I assume there will be some pork left, as I cooked 600g, so it will get eaten tomorrow.
Hint: Be careful about buying 2 for the price of 1. You may not be able to eat it all. Waste of food, waste of money. Even a few pence wasted every day amounts to a pound, and pound to pound gives you e.g. a toy for a child or other thing:-)
