I almost forgot to take thepic, we were hungry after running some errands...
Pasta with pasta sauce, not world shattering but simple and delicious. Pickled red beet will be seen until we finish off the jar. We love it.

The junior lady chose a choc -sour cherry cake. We both had freshly pressed orange juice.

Spelt grits, wholegrain, cooked with water, sprinkled with dates. I really liked it.

I haven't had tuna noodle casserole in ages. Talk about a throwback classic.

Cream of mushroom soup, half n half, gouda cheese, egg noodles, extra mushrooms, tinned tuna in oil, topped with crushed potato chips and garnished with chopped parsley (cooked broccoli served underneath while plating). I seasoned the casserole with lemon pepper before baking. It's simple and good. Thank you!

I exhausted myself today, totally.

Meal was based on the ingredients we are delivered during the week. So with roughly a kilo of potatoes, 500g sweet potatoes, a couple of onions and peas from the freezer, plus the remnants of the phyllo pastry also from the freezer (from when I made a marvelous baklava over Christmas) i made an Indian potato pie. I had a green chili frozen in the freezer as well .

Leftovers for me last night, and probably tonight and tomorrow night. I need to eat what I've already cooked before I cook anything new. That's the tough part of cooking for one -- lots of leftovers.

That is nice of you. What does Slimming World style mean? Are you reducing some of the usual ingredients?

Tbh I'm not sure as I've never made "normal" chilli. I won't eat anything with tomatoes. The wife has a load of Slimming World recipe books so I just pick something from one of them. These enjoyed it although she said she expected it to be more spicy.
I can show you recipe then you can see how it differs from standard.

Do you realize that the original chili con carne, invented in Texas and called "Texas Red," has no tomatoes in it? None.

Nothing "abnormal" about chili without tomatoes. That's the OG chili.

I would never, ever think of making a chilli-con-carne without tomatoes (pronounced tomatoes). But I'm not Texan; in fact I've only been to Texas once and the chilli-con-carne in Houston was tasteless.
