Rulebreaker...

I always vowed I'd never, ever blip food. This kind of grazes alongside that line, and may, indeed, even cross it.

It is also, technically, a pretty poor shot :(

However, it sums up the day/week, because we've been trying to eat much healthier, avoiding the temptation of take away and quick but non-nutritious meals. This has meant meal-planning, and we have managed to keep on track.

The tough bit is that is does require some thinking ahead - which is tricky when my head is too often full of work stuff. But that is also the good bit - I've enjoyed focussing on cooking again (which I love but don't do often enough) and knowing what you are having does take the guesswork out of daily tea-time. We all know that moment when you come in from work, open the fridge door and hope that, by some minor miracle, a fabulous dinner will be an option. With this planning, it is!

Thank heavens for Nigel Slater and the Blessed Oliver :)
