this is lame as hell but im gunna start cataloguing my isolation~ meals properly bc even tho i like cooking, i am also the type of bitch who who will easily get distracted by work and wind up not eating breakfast or lunch for days at a time!

this is some roast tomato soup (made months ago but defrosted today) and grilled cheese with basil n a little bit of chilli garlic oil

this is ramen noodles with miso pesto, espinacs a la catalana, salad greens

this is vegemite toast bc i did literally exactly what i said yesterday and forgot that food existed until 2.20pm bc i was too focused on Work. And they can’t all be winners

this is baked cauli and farro w panko crumbs, sage and fontina. whenever i make individual casserole portions or pies i think of my g-ma roma - she used to make bird-size but proper meals for herself every night

this is a weekend-morning-treat park picnic

this is mushroom ragoût and polenta. it is not a photogenic meal but it is a meal

this is a bagel and also my sister about to eat her own bagel

this is salmon teriyaki w salad greens n steamed broccolini

ok i forgot yesterday bc i was haulin ASS but im back on my bullshit. this is an ugly liquid breakfast of cold brew and a smoothie. in this house we love to be fast and anxious but we also love anti-oxidants and trying to correct our iron deficiencies with fistfuls of spinach

this is a sort-of niçoise but i threw in some macadamias and preserved lemons. i did not have any beans in the fridge

this is artichoke ‘fish’ cakes with vegané dill aioli and a rip-off of the alimentari moghrabieh pesto salad

this is a coconut chickpea n eggplant curry made by my sissy, traded for a serve of mushroom ragoût

this is pubjabi-style black lentil dhal and also the first thing ive eaten since my early-morning packet of jatz crackers at the blood bank. i said i was a dumb bitch

this is a quickie lunch of leftovers - polenta baked into chips and mushroom ragoût that i made and froze on the weekend. also a bit of grated fontina left over from the cauli bake i made last week

this is broth w mushroom dumplings n veg

this is breakfast and lunch. sometimes u just want an egg w hotsauce and there’s only one thing to do about it

this is gnocchi w caper pesto but i also chucked in some spinach and toasted walnuts

this is leftover veg broth w green veg and dumplings and it’s also a very late lunch

this is more artichoke ‘fish’ cakes w vegan aioli cause i had ingredients left over from the other night. and a shithouse bare-minimum salad of leaves, basil, toms and cashew cheese. it was this or nothing folks

this is a treat

this is cauli soup and a cheese n basil toastie. an after-teaching comfort meal

this is toast w elderberry jam that i foolishly bought on my last morning in london, feeling nostalgic for the lil neighbourhood and my fav cafe/greengrocer. then I worried about it breaking all over my jumpers on the way home to aus

this is kimchi n leek fried rice with a goog and some greens. i didn’t eat lunch and now i am very hungry

saddle the fuck UP! this is a vëgané shepherd’s pie w leftover kale n lentil salad

this is an ugly but delicious dinner of mapo tofu (i used mushroom instead of ground meat) and salad. i don’t think butter lettuce and radishes is a traditional sichuan fare but i was craving some crunchy veg

this is slow-cooked ragu pomodoro, roasted fennel and some salad (radicchio, burrata, radishes, basil and honeyed pecans)

i did an absolute shitload of cooking today and consequently did not feel like eating! it’s 9.06pm here is some plain naan that i ate just now. tomorrow i will have more nutrients

ok I lied! today was an absolute bitch shit hell day and I subsisted on banana, coffee and wine until just now. but then i made zucch and (fake) bacon soup. and im eating it w crusty corn tin loaf n butter

this is a MEAL! weird but tasty make-do pappardelle w blistered toms, roast fennel n olives and some salad. more radishes bc they’re my fav and there are few things better than radishes w fresh butter lettuce and black pepper!!! imo! also a lil bit of burrata

this is a monday-morning breakfast. egg! hotsauce! avocado w peas, mint n cashew cheese!

this is a COMPREHENSIVE dinner bc guess who forgot lunch again! toot toot jump in my clown car!!! anyway im eating butter lettuce, sauerkraut, and a lentil pie from my mama. also beans in broth w shallot n garlic n leftover herbs

this is the crust of some frankly borderline past-it corn tin loaf w elderberry jam. eaten in bed very early this morning

this is zuch soup. ate it at 11.45am for lunch bc literally who cares time is fake and we made it up

this is a 10pm dinner. i felt like green veggies so i made brocc with tahini chilli dressing and beans with pine nuts and garlic. and radicchio and radishes and kraut. thank u satan for your gifts

this is an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese with a side of COFFEE and ONE MILLION BILLION EMAILS

this is a caesar salad, born of a desire to use up stale bread

this is corn chowder w pico de gallo and black beans

this is a treat post-insomnia breakfast. i had work stress dreams all night but didn’t want to go for a run bc of all the ‘watch out for early-morning roni-era sex predators laid ease!’ posts i keep seeing and being sent. so i ate these while i waited for the sun to come up

this is leftover salad but i bunged some more mint and some fried shallots in there to spruce her up

this is fava and gigantes plaki with bread n fresh tomato

this barely constitutes a meal but it is one of my fav things to eat. truly there are fewer greater pleasures than tomato and pepper on fresh bread

this is a spring veggie stew w pistou and bread and horseradish

this is leftovers from two diff meals - more big beans topped w pistou and cashew cheese

this is salt n pepper tofu and eggplant (adapted from a longtime fav @wtb_Michael recipe!) and steamed werribee greens w chilli

this is a lil omy

this is like a sadder version of what i was going to make for lunch before i got eaten alive by work and left it all half-cooked on the bench. it’s leftover black pepper tofu w warrigal greens, brocc, avocado and rice. n also salad. but i FEEL like eating a cobb salad

this is a bad meal week! forgot breakfast and lunch yesterday but then had a delicious pizzi for dinner

this is a quickie pappardelle with leeks, peas n fontina

this is a late lunch of tabouli, roast eggplant w tahini/lemon/chilli dressing and some cos for crunch crunch

this is a lil fennel and leek gratin with walnut, sage and gruyère crumb. i also put some blue cheese on my endive bc they pop off together. cheesy tea

this is more big beans - not authentic~ gigantes plaki (had to make a few adjustments bc, ya know, roni). also was actually straight out the freezer. i made it weeks ago. but she’s still valid

this is more or less exactly what i had last night lol. just w rice and different salad (cos instead of chicory, goats cheese instead of stilton). THE THING IS i knew the gratin was gunna be delicious so i made two serves. also that’s how the economics of solo living works babe

this is brunch!!! of eggs w chilli and sage

this is a quickly pre-teaching dinner of tabouli and rice/black beans/quinoa. they’re leftovers and don’t match but you know what? filled a hole

this is lemon n rice broth w cavolo nero and lots of dill. i also made some chilli garlic oil to stir through. felt like big taste today

this is veg chilli made by my sissy in a meal trade. and leftover pilaf from last night

this is a v basic tomato risotto w sage and fontina! i used to be scared of risotto like polenta for some reason. but neither is actually scary and now i live them both

this is nasi lemak which i did not make but picked up from the good people at melb_bungkus on IG! not the spiciest but very very delicious. ugh my mind honestly this was such a good life choice
