Good morning. :-)
Well, I survived the mince pie! I had just the one, counted the syns, thoroughly enjoyed it and now there are four safely tucked away in the freezer for Christmas Day. A major achievement for me. Last year I had to keep off the mince pies (for gallbladder related reasons) but before then I'd have scoffed the lot and bought some more.
Yay!
Today's plans
B: porridge with yogurt and fruit
Frugal, as always, and most satisfying with the fruit (from the freezer)
SW: the oats will be my healthy extra B and I will syn the milk at two syns for 80 mls
L: spicy tomato and lentil soup
Delicious and frugal. Now I make soup so much, I find that commercial soups taste artificial, overly sweet and rather tasteless. Not to mention flippin' expensive!
SW: free unless I make some croutons. If I do, I will syn them.
D: loaded leek and potato bake, sprouts
A bit like last night's dinner but with leeks and I'm adding a few more veg as well - mushrooms, for a start. I will enjoy it, I am sure.
SW: the cheese will be my healthy extra A
S: fruit, yogurt (one syn), hi-fi bar (three syns)
Having two healthy extra As won't be a problem in the New Year as there are some changes afoot with the SW programme. Well, it's not a 'problem' now, of course, but you know what I mean. That's because one will be able to have two As each day so I can have my milk and some cheese without needing to look them up! You'd think I'd remember by now but I always feel I have to check.
Totally agree on the taste and cost of commercial soups!! Well done on the mince pie front! :-)
ReplyDelete:-) Thanks. I was well pleased with myself to the point of smugness - but pride goeth before a fall so I dealt with the smugness pronto!
