Dinner yesterday was very simple but tasty. I softened a little bit of finely chopped onion, red pepper and mushroom in spray oil, added some garlic puree and some pepper, the contents of a diddy tin of lemon and pepper tuna, the grated zest of half a lemon and some lemon juice (from a bottle), then stirred in some cooked pasta and a bit of the pasta cooking water and sprinkled over s bit of shredded fresh mint. It was so good!
Today's plans:
B: porridge, fruit and yogurt
L: souffle omelette, salad
D: chicken drumsticks in a bbq sauce, SW chips, salad, fruit and yogurt
Ss: fruit x 2, hard boiled eggs x 2 *
* I'm having extra on swimming days as I get so hungry and that's not surprising given that I am burning around 400 extra calories (minimum) extra. Must make sure I don't go bonkers with the fatty snacks though. Actually, looking at it, I'm having a lot of eggs today. I might change that.
I need ideas for quality snacks now!
From the freezer
The chicken drumsticks - I will have three, again to up those calories a bit. I had such a hungry evening yesterday.
The frugal factor
The drums will cost a bit more than usual but the rest is all very reasonably priced, nothing lavish at all. Tasty though!
Well there's a coincidence - we're having chicken (breast fillets) in a bbq sauce and homemade spicy wedges with salad. Re the snacks, how about a piece of cheese and 1 or 2 crackers, perhaps spread with Marmite? Or you could make some muesli bars?
ReplyDeleteSUper ideas, thanks very much.
ReplyDeleteSnap indeed, although my BBQ sauce has changed to a lemon marmalade and grain mustard sauce - or marinade or whatever it turns out to be. :-)

Evening Joy
ReplyDeleteWell done on the weight loss, you must be really chuffed with yourself.
We are having chicken drumsticks tomorrow (cooking them in the slow cooker overnight). I'm sure I read on someone's blog (apologies, I can't remember who it was), that drumsticks are flavoursome. I'll know by tomorrow. :-)
I, too, have days where I just feel hungry and I don't know why! ( Oh well, keep taking the tablets Carol! :-D )
Enjoy your evening.

I am pleased, thanks very much. ENjoy those drumsticks. I did. :-)
