Monday, 24-02-25 and Roy's sauce.

Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog where I talk about my ongoing Slimming World and associated health journeys. At present, I am working to reduce my 'bad' cholesterol through diet, particularly using the Mediterranean way of eating.

I had a wee look at my home made stuff in the freezer and realise I have quite a lot of soup - so guess what lunches are going to be for a while! Fortunately, I like soup and soup likes me! :-)

I had a go at making that white bean 'Alfredo sauce' from Roy's vlog today. It was very easy, pretty quick and rather tasty. Not as smooth as a real cheese sauce but that's not a problem when you are adding extra stuff. And very SW friendly - I added extra cheese and one portion came to half an A and two and a half syns.

Good for lasagne, cauli cheese, macaroni cheese . . . that sort of thing.

What I ate today:

For breakfast, the fruit was an easy peeler, blueberries and melon, there were chia seeds in the yogurt and some mixed seeds on top.

Two syns for the seeds.

I had baked beans left over from yesterday so beans on toast was the obvious solution. I added an egg for extra filling power and had some tomatoes as well.

There's something deeply delicious about the simple combination of toast, baked beans and egg - it's just so right!
One healthy extra B.

The white bean sauce worked brilliantly. I spray fried onion, pepper, sugar snap, tomatoes and olives, cooked 40g wholemeal spaghetti, added the sauce and heated it up before adding the veg and mixing well. So tasty with a side salad and very filling. And no greasy feeling in my mouth.
