Cute, LOL.

But the BEST items I have now, kitchenless, have been coming FROM takeaway. Not as-served-- but as the secret ingredient in an omelet, panini, or otherwise healthied-up brekky.

Oh yeah. Eating healthy is not about deprivation or suffering, even in tough times or weight-loss times. It';s about cutting enough of the unhealthy items out as possible without diminishing taste and enjoyment, so you can occasionally indulge in a really rich dish.

For us, this has meant an item left from (or made specially by) a chef's supper extraordinaire. 1/3 may be eaten at dinner, and the rest divided between bedtime snack and fillings for a healthy brekky.

Like the rich, spinach/feta omelette, eaten as served, at supper-- and then a small bite at bedtime with whole-grain crackers, then used again as the filling in the AM for a yolkless omelette. The feta goes a long way, but the AM serving gets loads of lite-butter toast on wholegrain bread for plenty of start-the-day calories-- with substantially less fat and salt.
