A little while ago I got two advent calendars from Just Spices. I meant to just get the big one but there was a special on and I had a discount code and maybe my mouse slipped a bit. They're much of a muchness except that the little one has sachets of different spice mixes while the larger one has little pots.
They come with recipes but I won't be able to access the recipes until December so I will have to be inventive. I wasn't to use them as much as possible.
As I will be away for Christmas, Dec 20th is the last day I can do an Advent calendar. So I counted back 25 days and then another 25 days and it got me to November 1st. So Mini Spicemas starts tomorrow. 🎄🎄🎄

Yesterday's meal photos:
The egg was definitely overcooked but still nice - I don't mind solid yolk, I just prefer runny yolk.
The bubble and squeak waffles looked burnt but weren't, they just went that colour.

The tomatoes were, unfortunately, a bit scorched. But I still ate them. A bit of charcoal is good for the bowel, my dear dad used to say.
Very simple and very tasty.
And I had a brainwave. I used half of the can for lunch and I rinsed the other half well and used it for the evening Jack Monroe burgers instead of kidney beans. It worked really wall.
I though I had taken a photo of dinner but there wasn't anything on the camera so obviously I didn't, did I?

More unfortunately, after days of resisting biscuits, I crashed and made great inroads into them. Oh, drat!
So today's meals are very light, probably lower in calories that I would want them to be, but I can do this. It's not something I would normally wish to do - over eat and then under eat - but once in a blue moon won't hurt and my meals will still be delicious, nutritious and home made.

For information:
The Slimming World structure:
While following the plan, you can have . . .
Any amount of speed and free food - BUT try to have a third of your plate as speed food as a sub for free food, NOT as well as . . . Eat to satisfaction, not to stuffed-ness!
Two healthy extra As (calcium) and one healthy extra B (fibre) - details in the SW pack and on the SW web site/app.
Between five and fifteen syns-worth of synned food - again, details in the pack, site and app. They are a limit to stay within, not a target to hit.
As a target member, I can also have . . .
Another two healthy extras each day
Another fifteen syns up to three times each week
Another fifteen syns up to three times each week
BUT - only if I need/want to. It's a limit, not a target
. . . with the ultimate aim of not needing to count healthy extras, syns, etc at all but just knowing and eating well instinctively.
