Excuse the pun, but I need to fill the fridge/freezer with food that meets the Mediterranean Diet requirements, so my bags were full of chicken, fish and lots of vegetables. It was difficult to know what to buy, whether hubby would be discharged from hospital this week, so I decided to fill the freezer with fish and pop a fresh chicken in the fridge.
Trying to remember what is allowed in the vegetable list was fun, I remember after Dad's heart op that he wasn't allowed grapefruit or lots of green cabbage, broccoli or kale (cruciferous veg). I erred on the side of caution and bought green beans, courgettes, organic carrots, red and green peppers, avocados, tomatoes, onions and some salad leaves, add to that apples, pears and cherries and I'm hoping that I've managed a supply of rainbow colours of veg and fruit to use for meals and snacks.
This is going to be an interesting week. Hopefully hubby will be home and I can start cooking up some scrummy dishes.
Me: What do you fancy for dinner?
Hubby: Food!
Me: What kind of food?
Hubby: Cooked!
I'll know my superhero is back then.
Well, we nearly had "the conversation" today, very close, it may be another day or two, but hubby is definitely on the mend.
