Christmas Challenge, day 12

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to my Christmas Challenge, 2024 where I try to give as much festive vibe to my everyday food as I can with the aim of staying on my healthy Mediterranean focused meals so that weight gain is minimal and I remain healthy.

Having said the above, it's not been great today because my friend and I went out for a lunchtime meal which was absolutely delicious.
I had pate to start with and then went on to pan roasted turkey escalope wrapped in bacon with a sage and onion stuffing and a red wine jus with roasted potatoes, carrots, parsnips and sprouts.  So, so good.  My friend had a dessert and we both had coffee.
In the evening, I dug a ciabatta out of the freezer and made a cheese and cranberry toastie.  Again, delicious amd festive but not SW or Med friendly.
And no photos, sorry.  

It's SW today and, unsurpringly, I won't be weighing.  

Friday's meal plans are:

B:  fruit and yogurt

L:  soup and fruit

D:  Dave and Anna are round for dinner and I am doing steak and chestnut slice with roasted potatoes and onions, spiced parsnips, carrots and some other veg, not sure what yet.  All cooked from scratch apart from the steak which came from a couple of M&S cans!
And there will be pudding!

Exercise:  housework, etc

Back to normal for a few days from tomorrow.  In fact, back to basics!
