Many thanks to @Sue.Q and @carieoates for the warm welcome
Here is a list of the typical basic provisions I use. My idea is to have salad with things rather than things with a lttle salad, so for instance I will have...
Baby spinach and assorted salad veggies with an avocado, some hummus, a little portion of stew, some pine nuts sprinkled on, some deli things like say capers and sundried tomatoes.
Same with breakie and lunch, small amounts and big variety... This list is just a basic framework which I can fit lots of different things into.
Makes for a simple but very pleasant way of eating I think and is easily adapable and sustainable too.
