Good morning!
The colder weather really has struck now and my food choices are reflecting this - more soups and cooked veg, much less salad and fewer cold meals.  Are you finding this too?

Yesterday's meals:

A simple and very satisfying breakfast.  There's little nicer than a fried egg on fried bread, even when adapted to work with SW.

The turkey hotpot was tasty - Dad would have enjoyed it very much.

I had an apple later on in the afternoon.

This chicken mince cottage pie looks a bit messy but it was deliciously good and I'm so glad I have exactly the same for lunch today.  Loving my leftovers!

I had drained off some of the passata based sauce and thickened that with a few thickening granules so let's count an additional syn (to be safe).

The day finished off with the usual yogurt.

Today's plans:

B:  porridge and fruit

I'll add some skinny syrup to the porridge although I'm not sure which flavour yet.
SW:  half a healthy extra A (milk) and one healthy extra B (oats)

L:  cottage pie and veg; fruit

The second half of last night's dinner and I did extra veg so they can just be warmed up.

SW  one healthy extra A for cheese in the mash

D:  chilli con carne, konjac noodles; yogurt
I will use one of the cartons of savoury pork mince from the freezer, add some kidney beans and I have noodles in water in the fridge that really should be used up today.  I'll probably add some mushroom and red pepper to the mix too.

SW:   I'm pretty sure the mince is free, the kidney beans certainly are and the noodles are one syn (three quarters of a syn really).  Dessert is half a syn

E:  an hour of personal training today.

Summary:

one and a half healthy extra As

one healthy extra B

one and a half syns

From the freezer:

fruit

savoury mince
