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.


What I ate today:

Pineapple, mango, raspberries and strawberries plus the yogurt and chia seeds.  All really delicious!
One syn for the chia seeds.
I brushed some garlic infused evoo over the bagel halves before toasting.  Really nice.
Two syns for the garlic evoo and two syns for the evoo in my lemon dressing, one healthy extra B and two and a half syns for the evoo.

Later, I had an orange.

The pork rarebit was absolutely lovely.  This is how I made it.

I sliced some onion and red pepper and softened it in spray oil.

I took three 1.5 cm sliced of pork loin and hammered them out to make mini escalope/steaky things which I dusted with some spicy steak seasoning (you can use whatever spices you like).
I tipped the veg into a small oven dish that fitted in my air fryer.

While the pork was cooking (it didn't take long) I finely grated 30g cheddar and to that added one egg yolk, a very little bit of yogurt (because it was very thick), some garlic puree and some mustard powder and mixed it all into a sauce.

I lay the pork steak over the soft onion and pepper and then spread the rarebit over the top.
I baked it in Nellie for about ten minutes, until the rarebit was cooked and browned.
And that was it.  Definitely doing this again, maybe with chicken or steak.

Afters was an apple.

One healthy extra A for the cheese and that was that.

Summary:
one healthy extra A
one healthy extra B
seven and a half syns



Tomorrow's plans:

B:  fruit, yogurt and seeds

L:  butterbean and feta bake, side salad; fruit
I have butterbeans that need using up so I googled and this came up from the BBC site.  I plan to do an adapted version of it.

D:  salmon and asparagus gratin; fruit
another Cook's meal, not one I planned in but I accidentally let it start defrosting and there's no way I'm wasting it!

Exercise:  personal training
