I've had such a lovely time away, staying with a very long standing friend. She's introduced me to a new cookery book and it was on the door mat when I got home. I've had a wonderful; few hours looking through and marking recipes I want to try fairly pronto! Starting with dinner tomorrow!
This is it and it really does have some delicious meals in it - two of which Suzanne and I made this past week and which I will want to make again, for sure.
I also had a lot of fun leafing through Jamie's 5 Ingredients Mediterranean book and that, too, looks a bit like a porcupine with post-its sticking out in all directions.
These next weeks are going to be fun!
And I must step on those scales tomorrow morning to assess any damage!
What I ate today
I forgot to take a photo of breakfast so instead I will treat you to a photo of what I picked from the garden when I got home. Lovely veg!
Breakfast was fruit salad (apple, kiwi, strawberries, blueberries and grapes) with some Greek yogurt.
Syn free.
For lunch, I got a portion of bolognaise out of the freezer and thawed it. It was a bit watery and I wanted it to do two meals so I added some bulgur wheat which added fibre, flavour and thickening.Then I made a two egg omelette, spooned on some of the bolognaise, crumbled over one As worth of feta cheese, rolled it up and had it with a side salad. Very tasty.
Afters was a small apple and some melon.
Afters was a small apple and some melon.
One healthy extra A and two syns for one tsp olive oil.
This kept me full until dinner - no fruity snack needed in between.
I had the rest of the bolognaise mince with added bulgur wheat left and I remembered that I had some butter beans in the freezer so I got them out, added some roasted red pepper, some seasoning and some chilli flakes plus some cooked wholewheat penne and a dollop of Greek yogurt and it made a very tasty and substantial dinner.
The whole thing was syn free.
Summary:
one healthy extra A
no healthy extra B
two syns - quite low, not much olive oil, but I will try to do better tomorrow.
My meal plans for tomorrow:
B: fruit and yogurt with seeds and chopped walnuts
L: garlic toasted focaccia with smashed avocado and smoked salmon, side salad; fruit
D: chilli peanut beef with red peppers, sweetcorn and spring onions; fruit
Exercise: a Lindsey pre record on YouTube
