Tuesday, 04-05-21 the last of the Hello Fresh meals

 Good morning.

What I ate yesterday:

No photos for a couple of days, sorry.

Breakfast was just an apple and a yogurt and it was delicious.

Lunch was another portion of the Singapore rice noodles and, after a day, it was nicer.  These spicy things really do improve over time.  A shame they can also go off if the time is too long!!

Dinner was the third out of four Hello Fresh meals, the cheesy caramelised chicken.  It was actually very simple and will be more than easy to reproduce.  You hammer out the chicken until it is flat, spray a pan with spray oil and fry the resulting steaks until they are just cooked through.  Spread over some caramelised onion chutney and then some cheese, put them on a tray and pop under the grill for the cheese to melt.  End result - delicious!

I just boiled the accompanying green beans and, instead of garlic mash which neither of us fancied, we had some Jersey royals, boiled with some mind from Dad's garden.
I was right - there was enough chicken left to freeze with a couple of jersey royals and some of the gravy I made from some chicken stock I had in my freezer.

I also had various bits and bobs that made it a not terribly healthy day but never mind!

My plans for today:

B:  an apple, some fresh pineapple and a Mullerlight
I don't do fancy stuff while at Dad's; simple and tasty suits me.

SW:  half a syn for the yogurt

179 calories

L:  baked beans on toast

Dad uses seeded bread, not wholemeal, but that's OK.
SW:  seeded bread doesn't officially count as a B choice but tough!

325 calories

D:  fillet steak and blue cheese sauce with rosemary fries and broccoli

The last of the Hello Fresh meals and I paid a bit to have fillet steak because it's lovely!  The veg should be green beans but, as we had that yesterday, I've brought some broccoli with me.  It's simple enough to make.  The sauce is just heating up some creme fraiche, adding blue cheese and seasoning it and, as I don't have the actifry here, the chips will be made in the oven.

SW:  a bit tricky to work out but I'm saying five syns for the creme fraiche, I'm calling the cheese an A choice and, as I'm using spray oil, the rest is free,  That's not bad really, is it?

554 calories

Body Magic:  It's chucking it down with most welcome rain at the moment and looks set to continue so, probably not a lot today.

Summary:

one healthy extra A

one healthy extra B (sort of)

five and a half syns

1058 calories and Dad has a nice bramble gin that should make up the rest of the calories.  :-)

(apologies for the lack of photos - it's not polite to go snapping photos when one is a visitor, I feel)
