Leftovers and comfort food.

I'm a big fan of using left over, using up what we have and making the best out of ingredients that we already have in, before buying any more. 

This lunch is an example of me using up leftovers:

This is roast chicken, with roast veg, both of which were left over from a meal, plus a pear from the cupboard. A very delicious, low cost lunch, made from left overs.

I'm also a bit in love with my new lunch box:

I love the divided sections of this box, which means I can do all sorts of combinations of foods, and don't have to worry about them touching! Watch this space about more ideas with the lunch box....

I was also treated to a hot chocolate from a chain this week - I went with one of their christmas editions - honeycomb hot chocolate:

Tasted a bit like the well known chocolate honeycomb bar with the golden wrapping - very nice!

I've also had porridge:

Cinnamon porridge with warmed blueberries and peanut butter

Banana porridge with warmed berries and peanut butter

It's been a good week.

Food.

Sorry, things have been busy lately, and to be honest, my life is not exciting! So, nothing really to post. 

But, here's some things I've been eating lately:

Poached egg on toast, with a mini babybel and some cherries :) with a coffee made with almond milk

Veg and noodle stir fry

Spaghetti with tomatoes, garlic, capers and anchovies

And sometimes, just because I can, I had this for tea:

Pancake with nutella, banana and raspberries - YUM!

New Year's Resolutions.

So, one of my new year's resolutions was to post on here more - not done so well at that so far, oops! 

2012 is a very exciting year for me and my OH, we are getting married! 31st March to be exact, so not that long to go. Everything is pretty much sorted, just little bits and pieces left to get, like some sprinkles for the tables and that kind of thing. 

In the meantime, whilst counting down to the big day, we are still watching the pennies and trying to make things stretch as far as possible. I am now unemployed, but I'm hoping that that will change sooner rather than later. We are also moving house in February! So I've got to factor in all that as well. Busy busy busy. 

And, a photo to finish, my lunch today:

Tuna salad with a sliced pitta bread, with green tea. 

Another one of my resolutions is not to lose weight, but to try and stay as healthy as possible. I'm working really hard on that one....
