Hello!
Man Wonderful is sat watching the Tour de France on the TV this afternoon. We had a 3-mile walk this morning and came home to a huge salad, using up the raw veggies in our fridge as today is Veg Delivery Day!
We have been having our weekly fruit and veg delivered for a couple of years now - this was invaluable during the Lockdowns, and it is a fab way for us to eat healthily and within our budget.
For those who don't knw, Man Wonderful is retired and I had to retire with ill health. (We were both teachers when we met almost 22 years ago...where did that time go?!). Consequently, we need to bit a little careful with our pennies.
I can choose what we would like from the online farm shop, and most of the products are from local farms.
Today we had the following delivered:
. 1kg apples
. 1 bunch asparagus
. 1 avocado
. 1 bunch bananas
. 2 large heads of broccoli
. 1 green cabbage
. 1 red cabbage
. 1kg carrots
. 1 bunch of celery
. 500g courgettes
. 1 cucumber
. 1 bunch fine green beans
. 1 melon
. 1 paper bag of little gem lettuces
. 500g mushrooms
. 1kg onions
. 2 large oranges
. 1 kg satsumas
. 1 kg pears
. 3 peppers
. 500g plums
. 1 paper bag of spinach leaves
. 1 bunch spring onions
. 500g cherry tomatoes
. 1 kg large tomatoes
Nothing comes with plastic wrapping, and the delivery is in a large recycled veg box.
You might think that's a lot of fruit and veg for two people - and you would be correct!! It is the base of what we eat.
What we usually eat in a day:
Breakfast
Most days we eat porridge oats, soaked overnight and eaten the next day with 1/2 a banana. Some days we have rye bread toast or scrambled eggs.
Lunch
Every day we eat a huge salad featuring raw veg as well as salad veg. We have tinned fish/beans/sliced quorn/eggs for our protein.
Dinner
Most days we eat a veg protein or some fish with a huge pile of steamed veggies.
Sometimes we have a stir-fry with quorn.
Once a week we have a Man Wonderful veg chilli.
Often we eat homemade curry.
Occasionally we eat at daughter's house.
Puddings
Fruit, fruit and more fruit.
Sometimes rye bread toast (Man Wonderful).
