Tuesday, 02-04-19 and steakadillas

Good morning.

Well, the 'steakadillas' were absolutely delicious, really yum and this is what I did.

I sizzled some onion, red pepper and mushrool, all thinly sliced, in some spray oil until they were soft.  Then I added some garlic puree and some cajun seasoning and let it gently sizzle a bit more, stirring it well.
In the meanwhile, I opened a tin of M&S chunky steak (free on SW and actually very tasty indeed) and warmed it up so the gravy was more liquid before straining off half of the steak which I put in a bowl and mashed up a bit with a fork (the rest and the gravy will be for tomorrow).
On a WW wrap (healthy extra B) I covered half with 30g grated cheddar, then spread over the steak, then the spicy vegetables and then another 30g finely grated cheese (the cheese was both my healthy extra As) before folding the other half of the wrap over for a top.  I sprayed oil on the top, then turned it over and sprayed the other side, using a pastry brush to completely cover.
I then popped it in a heated frying pan until one side was browned before turning it over to brown the other side before removing it from the pan and cutting it into two 'quarters'.  Using a griddle pan would have given me those lovely 'char' lines, but I don't have one so I couldn't.
No photo - I forgot - but it was really lovely and very filling, eaten in my fingers like a toastie (which is what it is really).  I just had that, no extra veg, and it was plenty, filling me up all evening.

Now I'm home, I'm doing what I've wanted to do for a week or so and have planned some meals from the Pinch of Nom book.  I will give page numbers but won't be writing out the recipes.  If you like the sound of them, I'd encourage you to buy the book.  It is well worth it.

Today's menu is . . .
B:  apple and cinnamon pancakes (page 22)
SW:  this will be half of a healthy extra A and my B - well, actually, it is less than half an A but I'll call it that for convenience's sake.

L:  bacon, potato and spring onion frittata (page 26) with a salad
SW:  one healthy extra A for the cheese and if I have mayo, I will syn it.

D:  steak pasty, veg
I have to use up the rest of the steak left from yesterday so I'm synning a wrap.  The veg will be sprouts and another speed veg, maybe some roasted tomatoes.  The steak comes in a rather tasty gravy which is useful and I may freeze most of it for when a beefy gravy is called for.  It's not particularly frugal but it is lean and tender (and SW free) and great for when one just wants something meaty and easy.
SW:  six syns for the wrap

Ss:  trying for none - snacking has become a Very Bad Habit Indeed!
