Good morning
The nice thing about having a roast chicken on Sunday is that one can do the old fashioned thing of using up the leftovers over the next week. I remember we always had cold Sunday roast with mash and baked beans on Mondays as a child - although I'm sure we didn't, we just had it enough to imprint on my memory!
It's enough of a thing that, if one Googles 'left over chicken recipe' there are loads and loads of options. I think it is great!

Yesterday's meals:
The mayo looks weird and I really should have used a bigger plate. This was very tasty as leftovers usually are.
I then had a pear and two easy peelers. and later on, another pear.
The day's food ended with a Mullerlight. All on plan ! Yay!
Today's plans:
B: cooked breakfast: bacon, egg, hash browns, tomatoes and mushrooms
I will see how the hash browns I froze last week come out. I am just wondering whether it would have been better to cook them and then freeze them . . .
Hopefully they will be OK.
SW: speed and free unless I have some sauce. The hash browns are half a syn for five and I'm having two so won't count them.
L: cheesy chicken quesadilla, salad; fruit
I have plenty of chicken bits to use and a very little bit of cranberry sauce so that's all good.
SW: one healthy extra A and one B, one syn for cranberry sauce and maybe one syn for mayo on the salad

D: chicken risotto, veg on the side; yogurt
Obviously, this will be an adapted risotto without the wine and will use up - surprise, surprise - leftovers!!
SW: one healthy extra A for some parmesan and half a syn for yogurt
E: kettle exercises and an hour of personal training
Summary:
two healthy extra As

I've yet to make a quesadilla but might give it a go this coming weekend. I bet they are tasty.
ReplyDeleteThey are nice but I used the wrong word - I means a toastie. Sorry!
DeleteI love quesadillas with pulse/bean kinds of fillings - it's lovely!

Hi Joy, it's really hard getting your head back into the right place after Christmas. But I take eat day as it comes. I'm back blogging after a long break in the hope I can refocus. Tania x
ReplyDeleteYou've hit the nail right on the head there, Tania. It is hard. Yesterday went better and today (so far) is OK too. Fingers crossed for us both. xx
