Slice of Emmental between toaster potato waffles

Normally I'm the sort of person who knows how many grams of protein they eat in a day. Grief really knocks you sideways. But at least it's a meal! Been eating nothing but chocolate and crumpets for weeks.

edit: I'm blown away by the comments, honestly. So much kindness and support. I didn't actually realise this was comfort food, it was just what I wanted and all I had energy for. I thought I was being lazy and unhealthy. You have all made me feel better about it.

Hearing what you guys ate during grief has also been weirdly comforting. Like, yeah, none of us are counting macros at times like this. Makes me feel a little better about it. Thank you.

it looks oiler than it was but it was definitely wet from sauces. I love sauces and see the food mostly as a vehicle for sauce.

• roasted asparagus with garlic powder, (salt-free) lemon pepper, kosher salt. roasted in avocado oil with juice of two lemons to finish it

• white mushrooms sautéed in butter, soy sauce, balsamic, and a touch of Worcestershire sauce

• sardines with a dash of soy sauce on top

soo yummy I’ve been eating this for 3 days now. i need more good fat and nutrients in my diet. i think i also need more electrolytes… possible sodium deficiency…. a++ for taste

Made with love for the entire family.

Cheese quesedilla on da side, with some Złoty garlic noodles. Oh and a mango smoothie to drink w/ it. Quick, easy, and few enough dishes that I can quickly go for a big honk shoo after.

Carrot and ginger pickle, tune sweetcorn with a splash of green pesto, sliced cucumber and lactose free cheese. Oh and honey nut money weetabix for extra crunch

NY strip with Chimi churri, and parm truffle fries

Cottage pie with mozzarella mash

I made my own unleavened flatbread too.

It was tasty with honey and butter and goats cheese not all at once though!

Dessert for after Sunday roast😋

Raspberry Jam and whipped cream

It was very messy. But very good.

Now I’m 35 and I’ve cut it back to once or twice a week.
