same here! Too slimy!! Well done for trying

A good vegefull base for bolognese is carrots onions and celery, chop small and fry in olive oil then add garlic, mince or quorn and passata. Gives a proper good Italian flavour

You can use the same base for sausage/beef/chicken casserole and if you add a little cream to it and some chicken breasts then bake it makes a lovely chicken cacciatore x

I've always had onion in it but think next time I'll add carrots then.
I bought a mango yday but don't think it's ripe enough yet so that can wait til tmoro x

Well done on trying the fruits. Melon and grapes are easy to eat and yummy.

Let me know what you think of the wraps as pizza. I find them nice and don't take long at all to cook. 10-15 mins. Loads less cals!

I'm a wuss too lol, can't stand mushrooms as they are slimy, don't like tinned toms, bananas texture make me gag, I can't deal with the texture of fish and oranges are scary coz my mouth can't handle bitter citrus and you never know how an orange will taste!! X

I'm having a good day thank you jayde well done on your 8lbs! X
