- [Lucy] When I decided to make
a "what I eat in a week" video this month,
I wasn't banking on being in full social distancing mode.
This video sees me through a million different emotions
as I'm learning how to navigate the new normal
as the government guidelines keep changing.
So please bear with.
So let's get into the food.
Monday for brunch I had a bruschetta toast
'cause I had some tomatoes I needed to use up.
So I added some red onions, some olive oil
and balsamic to a bowl.
I let it sit for a while 'cause when you let it sit,
it can take out some of the rawness of the red onion
from sitting with the tomato.
No, I don't know how that works either
and then I added it on some toast.
About mid afternoon I had a tangerine to keep me going
'cause you gotta keep that vitamin C up.
And then for dinner, I had some prosciutto tortellini
that I had in the freezer.
I fried up some red onion and some courgette
and olive oil and made this kind of sauce thing.
I don't know why I picked
the longest vegetable ever to cook,
courgette takes so long.
On Tuesday, I had a Deliciously Ella oat bar for breakfast
and a banana.
Also I don't think I mentioned this every day
but I take a shot of Symprove every morning
10 minutes before I eat.
It's a probiotic,
I've been taking it for about a month and a half now.
Lunch was pea and ham soup with some bread.
I know it's pretty gross but when I'm feeling down,
it's just all I crave.
It feels very homey to me.
And then to have with it,
I also bought these mini cheeses
so I had one of those with my soup.
I think this might be the most British lunch ever,
let's discus in the comments.
I forgot to film my dinner on Tuesday
because I had some high key anxiety,
so I'm sorry about that.
But we had steak and broccoli
because they were literally the only two ingredients
in the shop.
On Wednesday I had another Deliciously Ella oat bar
and a morning walk,
along with a coffee that I picked up at this nice cafe.
I really wanted to support the cafe as well,
they're still open so I got a nice almond latte.
It's a shame they're not accepting reusable cups any more
but such is life.
Lunch was avocado on toast
and then also some peanut butter on toast
because I got a new peanut butter
from a deli 'round the corner.
It is so lush and so creamy.
Dinner was a mushroom stir fry.
I added sesame oil, Mirin rice win, soy sauce
and peanut butter to create this nice creamy sauce.
On Thursday, and you'll start to see a trend here,
I had bad banana and peanut butter on toast for breakfast.
Then I had a coffee to wake me up a bit.
We're really lucky right now.
We have custody of a coffee machine
because Aviva's sister, Talia, is living in Guadeloupe.
So we're making the most of it while we've got it.
For lunch, I reheated the stir fry from yesterday.
The rice noodles broke down a little bit
but it was still really creamy
and just so good!
For dinner we had fajitas
which were from this kit I bought in Little the other day.
We cooked up some onions and peppers
with fajita seasoning
and then on the side we baked some sweet potato chips,
so we could have those with it.
We mixed the sweet potato chips
with salt, pepper and paprika
and some olive oil as well obviously to try
and create some crispiness.
Then we topped the fajitas with avocado, salsa and cheese.
I love any excuse to get my Le Creuset pot out,
it just makes me feel so adult.
I'm not gonna lie,
Friday was a bit of a write off food-wise,
again my anxiety wasn't being so kind to me.
So breakfast was shock horror,
banana with peanut butter on toast along with a coffee.
I even had the coffee
in the same mug I used the day before.
I made Aviva a coffee as well with some oat milk
while I had normal milk.
For some reason when I'm anxious,
I just crave dairy so badly.
So I was drinking normal milk in my coffees
and I was also having some
of those mini cheeses throughout the week.
My lunch was an instant noodle pot.
I'm not gonna pretend this
has anything cool to say about it.
Sometimes you just need some instant noodles
and today was that day.
So I was all ready to make some tasty food in the evening
but then in the afternoon I got a text from Pizza Hut
saying they were doing 50% off.
So I ordered a chicken and veggie pizza
because their gluten free base in phenomenal.
It's the closest thing I can find to Domino's.
I was so happy that evening.
And then Saturday morning, surprise surprise,
I had banana and peanut butter on toast.
I realize vitamin D is in this shot as well,
I try and have a vitamin D tablet every day with breakfast.
Then I went to Broadway Market at 2:00 p.m.
'cause I was trying to go off-peak
but also I wanted to check out the market
and support the local people
who aren't gonna be able to run it for much longer.
And I went down and got a curry box
with some rice and potato, some dhal,
and some cauliflower curry.
It's all in these little quarters.
I then walked to a bench around the corner in the park
and ate it there.
It was really nice and peaceful
to just sit in the park and look over at people.
Socially watch people (laughs).
See what they're up to.
Then I went to one of my favorite coffee shops
and I bought a takeaway hot chocolate.
Again, I think they're closing really soon
so I wanted to support them while they're still open.
And I walked to Jack's house.
Josh cooked us dinner and he made us burgers
so we had some burgers with some homemade chips
and some corn on the cob.
This is obviously a gluten free bun.
I know some people'll be like, "Is it gluten free?"
Just trust me.
I'm not trying to gluten myself any time soon.
But yeah, oh, I miss corn on the cob.
It is so good.
The whole thing was so tasty.
And that was what I ate last week.
Thank you so much for watching!
I really appreciate it
and I hope you're all doing okay
in these trying and slightly chaotic times.
Let me know what videos
you'd like to see me make in the comments,
probably nothing corona-themed from now on
but just let me know.
What would you like to see?
All right, love you lots.
I'll speak to you soon, bye bye.
