    Well she said Quorn I think!! It did have the same texture as Quorn and tasted nice enough. I would have it again, better than the pancakes with just the spring onion and cucumber which I normally have lol!!

    Friday...I gave blood today and was a bit worried about feeling bad due to eating less, so filled up on a big breakfast. I took a banana and an apple to eat after and avoided the crisps and biscuits I would normally have after. I felt fine - phew!! Breakfast: 2 Linda McCartney Sausages...

    Thank you! I think it depends on where you go and who you are with though. This was easy 'cos it was italian and also because the people I went with are not the types to comment on what you are or are not eating or drinking!

    Emma's Veggie Food Diary

    So, last night's meal went really well. We had a great laugh and I really enjoyed myself, without drinking (!) and I stuck to the plan! In the end, I had a rocket salad with olives to start with (only 6 olives, no dressing and no oil - still nice), I steered away from the garlic bread that was...

    Yesterday was another good day...more Christmas shopping...but it is now done...let the wrapping commence lol!! Tonight I am going out with the Mums from school and it is Italian :eek:, but I am all planned for it. I am not using any Syns during the day and my HExB will cover some of the oil...

    I spent yesterday Christmas shopping...still more to do, but made a big dent in it! I ate lunch while out, but chose a salad from M&S which was free apart from the salad cream :) I bought a bottle of Rose on the way home with the intention of treating myself to a couple of glasses, but when it...

    Hi Missy, I think I just have a mental block with Green Days! But your explanation makes total sense! Maybe one day I will be brave.....

    Emma's Veggie Food Diary

    Sounds like a good plan :) and maybe make sure the two B's are different types of food i.e. not all bread?

    Emma's Veggie Food Diary

    Well done on your 3lbs - keeps you on track for your goal :) I agree that using both HExA for cheese would be loads which is why I do EE and only have 1 HExA (which I tend to split between skimmed milk and half fat cheese). I will look out for Half fat red leicester cos the cheddar is a bit...

    Yey, WI this morning and I lost another 4lbs (that was for the last 2 weeks). That is over half a stone in 3 weeks and I am now over half way back to target :happy036: So, here is Wednesday's food: Breakfast - 2 Linda McCartney Sausages (4 Syns), 1 egg omelette, Banana and Grapes Lunch -...

    They both sound yummy! I am going to Sainsbury's tonight so will get either Quinoa or Pearl Barley, whichever I see first !!!

    Emma's Veggie Food Diary

    I agree, lentils are fab and very filling! With this casserole, I used tinned green lentils, so super easy too :) Have you made anything nice with your Pearl Barley :)

    Monday.... I decided to work out how much protein I was having as this is often a concern for veggies. Well, based on the food below, I had 63g of protein on Monday. The recommended amount is 46g! So no problem at all!! Breakfast - Fat free Fromage Frais with Melon, Grapes and Banana. Baked...
  128. emma.and.the.veg

    what did you all have for breakfast today? ideas for tomorrow?

    Quorn Sausages are ok, but probably not if you are a meat-eater lol ;) I spray them in Frylight and then grill them.

    Emma's Veggie Food Diary

    Hmm, I looked at Pearl Barley too but did not really know what to do with it apart from put it in soup! I am definitely going to get Quinoa though, the article I read said it was a "source of complete protein, fibre, phosphurus, magnesium and iron, and it contains calcium." Well, yesterday was...

    Emma's Veggie Food Diary

    Thank you for your help. I am definitely going to look at green days. I read yesterday that Quinoa is a great source of protein - have you ever tried it?

    How do you make Syn Free Houmous?

    I changed my mind and used the chick peas in a stir fry today, but will definitely have a go at the houmous another day :)

    Hello! Thanks for the advice. I have always done Extra Easy and it seems to work, but I might have another look at Green. Wow you have done so well. That is an amazing achievement. You must be so pleased with yourself. I know that the Syns are low...I tend to stay between 5-10 otherwise I...

    Ooh thank you, I will have a look for that book :)

    How do you make Syn Free Houmous?

    Thank you so much, I think I was adding too much lemon juice and no reserved water! I will give your recipe a go tomorrow. :) PS Your food diary is packed full of useful ideas :) It's really helpful as there are no vegetarians at the Club I go to!

    How do you make Syn Free Houmous?

    Hello! I know that you can make Syn Free Houmous and have tried following the ingrediants on the SW website. However, they do not give quantities :confused: and I cannot seem to get the flavour right!! Can anyone tell me how to make this please? Thank you :)

    Well, yesterday was a good day. I am feeling very angelic because my kids had friends for tea after school and they wanted Pizza. Normally I pinch a slice or two but managed to resist by eating some raspberries, and then they had Mini Magnums but I managed to stand back from them too...

    Emma's Veggie Food Diary

    Thanks for your replies! My first...how exciting :) I only do Extra Easy and have always done well on it in the past. I am not sure Red works on a vegetarian diet and Green seems too much with an extra A and B choice.
