Good morning.

Regarding that recipe for pasta carbonara that I tried on Saturday, it was OK but not amazing and I want to adapt it a bit before writing about it.
However, the roast dinner yesterday evening was lovely and so was the tomato soup for lunch so no complaints whatsoever.

Today's plans:
B:  Overnight oats, etc
Same as usual but this time I think I will add half a toffee mullerlight and have the other half  later so that is now one syn*
SW  half a healthy extra A, one healthy extra B and half a syn

L:  carrot and butterbean soup
This is a new one on me but I love butterbeans in soup.  They make it go all creamy and 'unctious'.  Mine are from the freezer, home soaked and cooked.
SW free unless I add some grated cheese.

D:  kedgeree and roasted tomatoes
I will use smoked basa instead of smoked haddock because I have some and it's cheaper.  The tomatoes are still from the garden
As far as I know, the recipe is SW free unless I add anything more to the recipe (which is fairly likely, knowing me).


* Did you see the fuss last week?  Mullerlights are now one syn instead of being 'free'.  Apart from the fact that it is barely a drop in the ocean, anyone who eats five or six of them in a day and is now 'devastated' needs to take a good close look at their diet!
Apologies if I've trodden on any toes at all but really!!!

  1. Yes I did see it, Joy. As you say, one syn is hardly noticeable, I'd have thought. Bingeing on yogurts is not something I'd ever heard of!

    1. It does sound a bit odd, doesn't it? It must be a thing though for some people.

    1. SO do I - I think it's delicious, however you do them - I mean whatever flavours you use.
      Thank you for the kind comment - I do work hard at the planning and couldn't manage without it at the moment.
