Saturday evening, 02-11-24 and Sarah's mug cake recipe.

Good evening, everyone!  

What I ate today

A bit colourless, yes, but this pear and gingerbread mug cake was absolutely gorgeous - thank you for the recipe, Sarah.

Different fruit would add colour although pear and ginger isw a lovely combination, or one could use a different spice.

It's the same recipe as I use for pancakes or waffles but just cooked in a mug in the microwave.  

Half a healthy extra B and the rest is syn free - I just forgot the seeds.  Ooops

To make this, I popped a couple of slices of my Med bread in the air fryer on dehydrate using a toast rack and it came out lovely and crunchy.  Not browned, just crunchy.  Definitely doing that again.

I don't think soft cheese is an A but I used Nutracheck to work out how much light soft cheese I could have for 120 calories (which is more or less what As and Bs are) 

So lunch was one healthy extra A, one healthy extra B, one syn for seeds and four syns for salad dressing.

This recipe, which I found in BBC Good Food Easy Cook magazine, was dead easy.
Cook the pasta and to it add some smoked salmon, some watercress(I used salad leaves as I don't have watercress), seasoning, lemon juice and zest and a sauce that was one tbsp lighter creme fraiche and the same amount of horseradish.  Reheat to just below bubbling.
You could easily add extra veg and the sauce was lovely.

One syn for the horseradish and one and a half for the lighter creme fraiche.

Summary:

one healthy extra A

one and a half healthy extra Bs

seven and a half syns

My meal plans for tomorrow:

B:  oat pancakes or waffles, fruit and yogurt with (obviously) mixed seeds!

L: home made beans on toast; fruit

D:  cottage pie and veg; fruit

Exercise:   housework.
