I'm a very basic home cook documenting what we eat to give other basic home cooks some random ideas.

P.s. The perfect 🍋 above was grown in our garden in the UKs rainy climate, we thought it would be the first of many, but it was a lone wolf.
Protein targets have been so easy to hit but fibre is a totally different story. Its sometimes a slog to find enough but today was a good day

• Greek yogurt, chia seads, fruit, and honey
• Pea and mint soup with bacon
• Thai spiced chicken noddle soup and pak choi
• Soreen malt loaf
