Shepherd’s Pie in the morning, my delight.

A plate of food featuring a serving of peas, a baked dish topped with cherry tomatoes and cheese, and a stew-like mixture with carrots.

I got a seeded multigrain bloomer loaf from Tesco bakery, which smells and tastes amazing.

Toasted and topped with half an avocado and fried eggs for breakfast this morning.

Two slices of toasted seeded multigrain bloomer bread topped with chopped avocado and two fried eggs on a white plate patterned with navy blue swirls on a lime green tablecloth with white polka dots.

Little kid’s pizza slightly overheated.

Two freshly baked cheese pizzas are cooling on round trays on a stovetop.

My pizza waiting to go in the oven. Kids’ and wife’s pizzas are in there at the moment.

A homemade pizza topped with vegetables and cheese is placed on a baking tray with a "Super Duper Dad" card beside it.

Eating leftover mince pies now that I’m drinking sugar-free tea.

Right now: snacking on my wife’s cashews as she’s eaten all my pistachios.

Little kid ate a leftover sausage and reheated chips.

Big kid had a bowl of rice and gravy followed by two taco shells with cheese and two soft tacos fried with melted cheese.

After which he asked, “What’s for dinner?”

Had some crispy taco shells with lettuce, some chopped avocado, cucumber, red pepper and onion, and sour cream with the chilli sans carne.

Chilli was HOT!

Two tacos filled with lettuce, avocado, cucumber, and red bell pepper sit on a plate next to a serving of chilli sans carne topped with cheese.

Making chilli sans carne this morning. Kids are back at school tomorrow, so they are hanging out in the bedroom away from the smell.

We always used the have a special meal to mark New Year’s Day, like Christmas and Easter Sunday, but yesterday, as big kid was away and I had to go and collect him, we ate leftover burgers, chips, rice, beans and salad.
