Food diary of a fashion blogger

Okay so I'm not normally one to write posts like this (instead saving my obscene amount of cooking, snacking and eating photos for my instagram story). But I thought you'd fancy something a bit different? I jokes of course; I haven't been going out for nearly 2 weeks so I'm severely starved of content and this is therefore the best that you're gonna get! This is by no means a healthy eating guide or anything, it's more of simply a what-I-eat-in-a-week kind of thing.

Let's start with breakfasts (the most important meal of the day). Can you tell that we bought a bunch of bananas and had to get through them? Banana and maple syrup waffles, banana and maple syrup porridge and then banana and maple syrup waffles again! I also had a few simple breakfasts (only photographed once) - crunchy nut cornflakes and giant crumpets. I'm pretty divided on whether or not I actually prefer these to the normal-sized ones. We also had a perfect lazy Sunday morning complete with a cooked breakfast; those eggs are picture perfect.

I like a light lunch and I normally just take leftovers of my dinner the night before to work with me. But not being in the office has meant I've been able to make fresh lunches every day and I have to say that it's been one of the more exciting parts of quarantine. I did chicken, spinach and pesto pasta one day, ham and cheese baguettes another day (with Leerdammer being the elite cheese of choice) and southern fried chicken burgers with a big salad on another (if you haven't tried the pizza express salad dressing before then I'd highly recommend buying a bottle). I also did meat-free Monday (as normal) and went with falafel wraps dressed with mixed greens, crunchy naked slaw mix and smashed avocado.

Okay so it seems a lot of the dinners didn't quite make the photographic cut (at weekends I normally just make junk food). I mean, even though it still qualified as junk food, the Chinese couldn't not make the photographic cut when it looked that pretty. I love a good Chinese takeaway (how Fiat 500 of me) but when you compare £30ish for that versus £5 or £10 for a fakeaway version, you can't exactly complain. Granted, the chow meins are never as good, but everything else was a pretty solid effort! We had crispy duck pancakes, special chow mein, egg fried rice, crispy chilli chicken and vegetable spring rolls. That was a Saturday treat though; on week nights I did cook some relatively healthy meals. Tuna steaks with spicy tomato rice, chorizo and veg on one night and (exciting) pulled jackfruit tacos with naked slaw mix and smashed avocado on meat free monday. And of course, you can't go wrong with cheese on toast on a Sunday night after a big roast dinner. Complete with the elitest chocolate bar of all; milky way crispy rolls. Don't even try and fight me on this!
