Yesterday's dinner worked out very well indeed. Maybe the pork burger was a tiny bit too fennel-y but it was still really nice and the best thing is that from the mixture that was supposed to make four burgers, I got seven using my burger press so they were more frugal that it appeared at first. The squash wedges weren't really wedges, obviously, but were delicious in their way with a spice mix sprinkle made of smoked paprika, cumin, coriander and garlic granules.
I used one tsp each of the paprika, cumin and coriander and half a tsp of the garlic granules. There's some left and I might add a bit of curry powder to it and add it to cubed chicken before either grilling or spray frying it.
The burger recipe is totally not mine (except that I added some garlic puree) so here's a link to where you can find it.

Today's plans:
B: cooked breakfast of beans, bacon, egg and potato waffle; tomatoes
I have beans left over from Tuesday that need using up and a shedload of eggs after being given some on Monday.
I fancy the tomatoes raw so will eat them like little sweets. They're still garden grown! Amazing.
Two syns for the waffle.
L: apple and orange, maybe a yogurt as well
One syn for the yogurt
D: cuban beef - a casserole with added veg. I'm short on the healthy extra Bs today so might shred some of the beef and pop it into a wholemeal roll. I'll see how it all goes.

Trying for no snacks today! It's weigh in this evening and my fingers are crossed that I have lost that holiday gain.
Those burgers sound delish. How is the weight loss coming on? I have stalled and though I'm not gaining, I'm not losing either
ReplyDeleteWell, I gained last week after being on holiday but apart from that I've lost every week and I'm hoping I've lost most of what I gained. I will see this evening and my fingers are crossed!
DeleteI think sometimes we do maintain fo no obvious reason but it might be worth keeping a strict food diary for a week, just to see if there any unhelpful patterns developing.
