Good morning. This is a bit late because I overslept!
One pound off yesterday. I was a bit disappointed and had to tick myself off for feeling negative as it's in the right direction and that's what matters.
No photos. I totally forgot - ooops.
However, the turkey jalfrezi was OK-ish but very bland. I suppose that when your recipe only uses five ingredients (hence the title 'Take 5'), it is going to be a bit lacking. Anyway, I jazzed it up with peas, mushrooms, tomato puree, ginger, garlic and a bit of chilli and it was much better. Today's dinner is some of the leftovers and I will freeze the rest. It made four good portions.
Today's plans:
B: yogurt and fruit
I will use my home made natural yogurt and I'm still addicted to those lovely easy peeling mini-oranges.
SW: free
L: tomato soup and dunking bread
The last of my home made tomato soup so I need to make some more at some point.
SW: healthy extra B for the bread.
D: turkey mince chilli, rice
Some of yesterday's leftovers with a dash more chilli and some kidney beans added.
SW: free
Ss: cheese (healthy extra A), fruit, yogurt (one syn) Actually, I might have the cheese grated over the chilli earlier instead. I'll see how I feel.
It looks a simple menu but it's packed with f&v and it's all made and ready. Nice.
Morning Joy, you must have needed the sleep. Congratulations on the 1lb loss - as you say, it's still a loss and infinitely preferable to a gain! We've tried turkey mince a few times and not keen - as you say, very bland and needs a lot of flavouring.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point - maybe it wasn't entirely a recipe issue. It has a nice texture though, I think, and it's low fat which helps.
DeleteYes, I think I did need the sleep - I'm still fighting something off and not feeling 100% so some extra sleep was very welcome.
