The shepherd’s pie went down a treat. For me anyway. 
Tonight I have a large amount of that pasta sauce I made a couple of days ago (scroll down for previous post). I can’t be bothered cooking up more mashed potato to make yet another shepherd’s pie. Strolling the supermarket this morning I saw gnocchi and I thought perfect! Gnocchi is fresh pasta made from mashed potato. Another soothing to the stomach comfort food. So tonight it’s fresh gnocchi with the lentil/tomato/pretend mince and mushroom pasta sauce. A healthy sprinkle of freshly shredded parmesan melted on top. Yum!
Lunches the past few days have consisted of dipping into the left over mashed potato for a couple of spoonfuls, a handful of grated low-fat tasty cheese, and a beaten egg with a spoon full of water. Mix ingredients in small dish and microwave until egg is cooked. Today, just because I had some, I added a large hand of chopped fresh parsley. So the messy, eggy mush is sort of like scrambled egg with potato. Tastes good though and is soothing to the GERD afflicted stomach.
This afternoon’s snack was 3 slices of tinned peaches, a teaspoon of muesli for the crunch and nut factor, topped with yogurt that I’d mixed with a teaspoon of blood orange juice. Very tasty and quite filling. Normally I’d avoid citrus but I have found that a teaspoon of the juice of the sweeter varieties doesn’t upset me. And blood oranges smell divine!
Cheers,
