Day 10

I never would have said we were a wasteful family, before this experiment  but we  have definitely been super, super good for the past 10 days. I even noticed it in the bin when we emptied a 1/3 full one for the bin men instead of one where we struggle to put the lid on!! 
Everyones been finishing their meals too, I left a spoonful of something the other day without thinking and hubby called me back to finish it - during ww2 wastefulness  was quite a crime and even punishable by a prison sentence!





Breakfast 

Porridge or toast

Lunch 

Cheese and chutney sandwiches*
* grating the cheese makes it go further, a thin spreading of chutney means you don't need any butter!

Supper

Bubble and squeak and bacon

Day 4

Today I think the realisation of our diet really kicked in! For me though I'm feeling alot less bloated (I used to feel this all the time) and I'm not hungry between meals at all - just at the next mealtime!

I forgot to check the bread levels last night so had to hurrily bake a loaf this morning so there was enough for everyone!!

The children have basically eaten everything I've put on their plates by the end of the meal even though they protested they don't like sprouts / cabbage at the start. They are still only choosing 3 or 4 small sweets a day from their rations.

Hubby is the one that complaining the most though! Despite proclaiming the meals - better than before rationing (well more filling anyway) he's missing his in between snacks...


Breakfast

Welsh rarebits for everyone!

Lunch

Bacon Turnovers and Potatoes

Snacks
Apples / Pears / Carrot Cookie / Jam Sarnie


Supper

Bubble and Squeak, Vegetables and Bacon Rashers
