@WhatThe, when you say sourdough with olive oil, do you mean you brush it with oil before (or after??) toasting and nothing else?? That sounds really nice but I've never used oil in this way so not sure what I'm meant to do!
Ooooh I forgot tahini exists, where do you get yours from? I love rice cakes but get bored as only have peanut butter on them
I've never tried sardines of mackerel π I really want to start eating fish but it looks scary to me!! I didn't know you can get quinoa pouches, I do rice ones when I really can't cook but end up with it plain or with microwave veggies and nothing else, I'm going to look for some - thank you!! β€οΈ

Cheese pasta bake is one of my favourites @luvpink!! I struggle with it though as always make tooooo much and not sure how to reheat it so feels wasteful, although sometimes I eat the left overs cold!
Never too much cheese @Carl_Scope!! π€£
@Amberpearl oooh I forgot how much I enjoy cheese on crackers yummmmm

I usually make too much but my partner takes it to work the next day and re-heats it in a microwave.

I've had pasta today. Sauce made with aubergine, lentils, tomatoes, red onion, sweet potato and vegan cream. Spiced with basil and smoked paprika. Creamy, Mediterranean flavour.

That sounds lovely @MissMarple! I've got a few roasted veg and some lentils, so you've inspired me to make something similar for dinner π Do you usually blend up the sauce or keep the veggies chunky?

I try to keep it as simple as possible @Rosie_Scope I chuck everything in the microwave and take it out when it's reached the softness level to my liking. The flavours blend together quite nicely if it's left long enough.

I'm with you on raspberries @onmylonesome. I tried some recently and they were furry! So weird.
I'm keeping it simple for tea tonight with tomato soup.

The package lied to you, they've never been sweet and juicy π What other fruits can you have instead?

Biblioklept, it's a dark, seeded sourdough toasted (I keep it sliced in the freezer) with olive oil dripped on top (salt optional). My daughter persuaded me to try it when we both were found to have high cholesterol.
I get my dark tahini from Lidl (again) when they run their Greek specials or a jar of Meridian at a health food shop as it's not as salty as some. Tahini on rice cakes is bit of an acquired taste but I like it. I have also been known to shovel lumps of cheddar into my mouth alongside the rice cakes if I'm too hungry to wait for anything better and occasionally just salted peanuts.
I have the quinoa packet here - it contains 99% red and white quinoa with no onions or stuff I can't eat and costs a little over a pound. I've not looked for them anywhere else because these are perfect!
Being a woman over a certain age, I have to keep up my calcium intake. The tins of fish can be messy and smelly but it's a lot easier than catching fish ourselves. Choose tuna steak over chunks which can resemble cat food π±

If it has to be a quick meal..Then it's baked bean toasties in the machine

Another quick, easy and nutritious meal I used to eat was cheese on baked beans on short grain brown rice. It's a low FODMAP diet for me now so beans are off the menu.

hahaha this made me giggle, I love the idea of fruit and feel like I should like it but have this same reaction!!
I make them into smoothies a lot but very occasionally I'll try some and there'll be one good one and the rest too sour or sharp or just disgusting!! I think the issue with fruit is that it is different EVERY time, and you can't know from looking which will be good
Raspberries and any of the other 'furry' ones are a definite NO though!

oooh that sounds really nice, especially the seeded sourdough!! At my last blood test my doctor said my cholesterol was 'slightly raised' but not enough to be concerned about, I get really bad health anxiety so I think he was trying to get me not to spiral about it and I've had so much going on I've avoided reading about it much but really should start paying attention!
I've been eating a bit better since but eat probably too much cheese and chocolate π

I forgot about breadsticks as a snack! Anything that doesn't leave your fingers greasy like crisps do is the better option.
Ideally your cholesterol levels should be below 5 but mine was 9.3 (despite not being overweight) but within a year of taking statins, mine are fine.
The most effective way of reducing cholesterol levels is to ditch palm oil, use more olive oil in your diet and drink only filtered coffee - that means instant coffee is out.

Yum @Biblioklept, I haven't had breadsticks for ages, fancy them now. May have to put them on the shopping list for the weekend!
I am very good with my vegetable intake but my fruit intake could be a bit better if we're honest! I love watermelon and pineapple when they're ripe and fresh and just the right sweetnessπ
I think I'm having roasted sweet potato and broccoli and veggie chicken kiev for tea tonight, what is everybody else having?0 -
Sweet jacket potato with tinned mixed beens in sauce tonight.
