Looks yummy Spidy! :) 

Thank you Maria, indeed it was yummy 😉 

Gorgeous. Mmmmm 

Hi Spidy This looks very healthy. You have lot's of important foods here: tuna and smoked sprats for omega 3, lots of different vegetables for vitamins, some decent whole grains for fibre and some seeds for fibre and a good balance of oils. I do have a bit of trouble with quinoa myself, but I could try it with some wild rice. 

Judy, you can replace quinoa with buckwheat, which is very healthy and easy to cook, I do not boil it anymore, I just wash it very well than for 1 cup of buckwheat 1 cup of boiled water and you leave it by night and eat it the next day or millet which you can prepare it as you do the rice. Thank you all for the comments 😙 

Hi Spidy - Wish I could eat buckwheat, but unfortunately it gives me migraine. I have tried a lot of different grains, but oats and wild rice seem to be the only ones I can tolerate, though I can manage about two dessert spoonfuls of ordinary rice (long grain, basmati etc.) My doctor says that me and my son drew the short straw when it came to genetics. I know that archaeologists have found that some tribes continued being hunter-gatherers for about 2000 years after the Neolithic farmers came to Britain, so maybe that accounts for why we both have trouble with grains and milk. Luckily we do manage with oats, wild rice, mature cheeses, Greek yoghurt and lactose-free milk.
