Good morning!
Yesterday's meals:
Fruit salad and yogurt for breakfast.A very yummy and satisfying toastie for lunch. I'm not sure if I prefer the apple and sultana chutney or the onion chutney in a toastie; they're both delicious. I haven't tried the green tomato chutney yet.
Later on the afternoon I had an orange and a plum, both speed.
Not the most colourful of dinners, but this chicken, mango and chickpea curry was really very nice and it made enough to split into two portions so I have more for another day.

Dessert was a yogurt and two plums.
B: weetabix, fruit and yogurt
I'm swapping the healthy extras round today to have one A and two Bs.
SW: one B for the weetabix, up to one A for milk and the rest is free/speed

L: falafel salad wrap, fruit
It didn't take me long to find a falafel recipe on faithful old BBC Food.

As always, I have cut the oil and used spray oil and made the rest straight. I used half amounts because that's what I had left of chickpeas, put it all in Nutracheck and it came out at 29 calories per falafel, which seems pretty good to me.. I used a level tbsp for shaping so they are not huge but not tiny either.

They are just finishing baking in the oven and smell really good.
SW: one healthy extra B for a wrap and two syn for some mayo (some in the wrap and some on the salad).
D: M&S mini meal steak casserole with dumpling, broccoli, runner beans, sprouts; yogurt
It's time to try out one of those mini meals I bought last Thursday. It's classic British food so I will teal it up with some nice green veg. No potatoes as it includes a little dumpling.
SW: seven and a half syns for the ready meal and half a syn for the dessert
E: personal training with Lindsey today
Summary:
one healthy extra A
two healthy extra B
ten syns
I like fruit and yogurt for breakfast, although husband prefers something more substantial. We've cut down quite drastically on potatoes recently, filling up with green veggies instead. I do like a crispy roast potato or 3 though! xx
ReplyDeleteMe too and, in moderation, they are fine, I think. Fortunately, catering only for me, I can make just as many as I need and no more.
DeleteGreen veggies are brilliant - dinner was so good!

The falafels sound like my sort of thing. How long did you bake them for please?
