Yesterday was the first day I felt my appetite was properly back. I finished off the soup and thoroughly enjoyed dinner. And no pain! Not even discomfort from the gall bladder although things were a bit Purple Ronnie all morning!
Dinner was so nice that I have blogged the recipe in a separate post.
Here are today's plans:
B: porridge with apple and yogurt
S: melon
L: beans on toast (no butter)
S: orange or banana
D: I'm going to try a lasagne with some zizzed cottage cheese and quark on top rather than a fat laden cheese sauce. It might work, it might not, but I shall give it a go and see.
The freezer challenge:
bread for toast
cooked mince for dinner and I will probably add some chick peas to the mixture
The frugal factor
porridge - say no more
the apple is one that's a bit old and wizened and I wouldn't want to eat it raw but it should be fine cooked in porridge, much better than chucking it away
the beans are Savers, 1/3 of a can (so just 9p) and the bread is home made. A lunch for 11p-ish has got to be good!
I have an overloaded freezer, hence 'the freezer challenge' which is to use up all the old stuff
I also have a tendency to frugality, recently diagnosed gallbladder issues (with an op at some time in the future), high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Oh, and more than a few lbs to lose. I like flavour but have to go very low fat.
Possible? No idea - we will see. It's a work in progress that I am sharing with you.
