M&S Simply Fuller Longer Tomato & Basil Chicken with Couscous & Butternut Squash
“Tomato & basil chicken, couscous & butternut squash with a sweet balsamic dressing.” Sharon rule: When it comes to food prep, the less the better. When left to my own devices, I’ll eat a progressive dinner of cheese and crackers, yogurt, peanut butter from a spoon, followed by whatever sweet thing is in the house. […]

M&S Super Wholefood Salad with a Lemon & Herb Dressing
This is a beautiful salad. Red peppers, orange squash, green Tenderstem broccoli and asparagus, magenta pomegranate seeds on a beige canvas of couscous. The peppers and squash have real grill marks on them, not the painted-on kind. My wife loves this salad because the orange and green components aren’t the usual carrots and green beans […]

M&S Super Wholefood Shaker Salad

Levi’s Caribbean Hot Chilli Beef with Seasoned Rice

It has more beans than this soup despite them being mentioned only in the ingredients and makes better use of squash than this meal. It’s spicy, though not “3 […]

Superquinn Thai Red Vegetarian Curry
“Thai red vegetarian curry with butternut squash, courgette and spinach served with green lentils and quinoa on a bed of brown rice.” While not being particularly photogenic, this curry started out with promise–easily identifiable pieces of nice veggies like butternut squash, courgette (can I just say zucchini?) and red pepper with lentils. In the eating, […]

Superquinn Butternut Squash and Goats Cheese Lasagna
“Roasted butternut squash and creamy spinach mixed with a rich tomato sauce, layered between fresh egg pasta and finished with a creamy goats[sic] cheese sauce.” Yeah, sorry about that plated-dish pic–we don’t have any spatulas at work. This ready meal is proof that vegetarian != healthy. Look at that saturated fat! It’s an intriguing idea […]
