Good evening, everyone!

What I ate today

Breakfast, of course.  I don't get bored with fruit every day because there's so much variation.  Today's was pineapple (the last of the juiciest, sweetest pineapple ever), a pear, some blackberries and some raspberries.

This was one of SW's better recipes, I think.  Very simple, not too many ingredients and I enjoyed it very much indeed.  I just added some tomatoes because is it actually a salad without tomatoes (and these were picked from the garden) and I just used the lettuce I had.
I'll post the link but I think you will need to be a SW member to access it - sorry.

It was surprisingly filling so I saved my dessert fruit for later on.

Baked feta pasta for dinner and it was another delicious treat.  I'm afraid it is ditto as for lunch regarding the recipe but I will post the link, in case.

I reduced amounts, of course and I double reduced the amount of pasta because 100g dry weight???  I mean, what????

I had about 45g and it was loads.

I used proper olive oil because tomatoes are so lovely roasted in olive oil.

The salad was just a mixed salad but I had a bit of the pickling liquid left from lunch so I whisked in half a tbsp fat free salad dressing and it was really rather good.  I will remember that and now I wonder about trying the same with the lemon vinegar I made.

No dessert - no room!

Three syns for olive oil and half a syn for the dressing.  Oh, and two healthy extra As (some was for nibbling).
