So sorry that you have had an awful Christmas, Wendy.

For tea tonight we had the last of our NYD chicken, which was bought for Christmas in case OH was too sick to go to my middle son's for a meal. With the cold meat, we had goose fat roast potatoes, finally found out the best way to cook them, but they were the last of the bag, and swede. We started with chicken soup from the carcas, and ended with a chocolate eclair, because today was shopping day.

Our meals are fairly basic, and I do not like cooking one little bit.

Or anything that I have in the fridge similar to the above. Mainly vegetables, some eggs, some cheese, the odd veggie burger or sausage, Quorn or LMac. Love my food, but don't like spending time in the kitchen, has to be straight from fridge to plate, or cooked within 5 or 6 minutes, preferably in one pan, hate washing up.

Egg and cheese hot sandwich, tomato and salad for lunch today, going out at 1pm

My main meal today will be broccoli and cheese soup made from the stem of the broccoli, we ate the florets with Sunday lunch. I'm also making a batch of piri piri chicken with rice for DH as he is working until 9:45 tonight.

What do you do with the stem to make soup? Can you do the same with cauliflower?
I cooked extra potatoes & veg yesterday so will probably microwave a bowlful then top with cheese. And I'm working my way through the kilo of stewed greengage that I defrosted, I have a tub of crumble crumbs in the fridge so 3 mins in the microwave and there's a pudding for 1.

Thanks. I haven't made soups from scratch, except potato + carrot. Will give it a try.

Home made mushroom soup for us, it's been simmering away on top of the log burner for a while now.
I'm serving it with part baked baguettes, I haven't mastered my own bread on the boat yet but I will keep trying.

Beef stew with mushrooms, sliced carrot, diced onion and celery in the slow cooker - then rough chopped potato was microwaved and added to the stew with some gravy granules to thicken and left to cook for another half hour on full heat .... very nice. Got plenty left over for tomorrow )t'

I used the steamer to cook 2 large carrots (in the water) and a huge potato chopped small in the 2 top baskets. That will go into 3 or 4 meals (microwaved). And a ramekin of veg from other meals - sweetcorn, peas, celery, tomato with a spoonful of braised beef- in the microwave for 3 mins. I'm not a vegetarian but a little meat goes a long way - the only time I cook joints, chops etc. is if I'm cooking for others, then the leftovers freeze and last ages.
Stewed gooseberries.
