Busy day at work today. Tried that all bran cluster today for brekkie, really nice. Went to wetherspoons for lunch break with Frank and had chicken breast with bacon melted cheese n BBQ sauce with jacket. Need to syn BBQ sauce but otherwise stuck to plan. Back to work had a coffee and a celebrations choc .
Dinner being cooked for me a mushroom omelette and beans.

Here's last nights burger recipe

MELT IN THE MIDDLE BURGERS WITH CHEESY MUSHROOM SAUCE, AND SW CHIPS

yummy and not dry at all.

12 mushrooms
1 onion
1 red pepper
1tsp of lazy garlic or 1 crushed clove
1 tsp of lazy ginger
1. Tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp dried herbs or seasoning whatever you fancy, I used Schwartz Pork seasoning.
Salt n pepper
Mini babybel light cheeses or Stilton/cheddAr etc from daily allowance.

Blitz the pepper onion and mushrooms in a blender, until chopped finely. Tip into a bowl and Add the other ingredients except cheese, Form into burger shapes then make a dip in the top press in the babybel or other cheese portion and form burger again around it.
Bake on a tray in oven gas 6 15-20 mins

Make the cheesy mushroom sauce by chopping 4 mushrooms into a saucepan with a tub of philadelhia light, whichever flavour you prefer.
melt into a sauce and serve .

Thanks Pebbles. Had to go and collect my things from my car today as the garage have confirmed its a write off :cry: just got to wait and see what the insurance company offer me payment wise and then need to find a car :sigh: money is tight at the moment so couldnt have happened at a worse time! Just keep reminding myself that we're ok and thats the main thing, everything else although costly and an inconvenience can be replaced.

Your burger dinner looks yum! Are celebrations 2 syns each? we were give a big tub for xmas and i'm thinking i could portion them up into 5's and have them as my daily syns

It's a flipping typical thing eh, January hardest month and then something like that happens . Hope it all turns out ok.
Yes celebrations 2 syns each x

 

[MissHP]

Been 100% on plan today and haven't had any syns yet, so to keep me on track i have decided my syns for the day will be 5 celebrations (10syns) and a cup of tea later tonight. Just had a nice filling pasta dinner (having a green day as i find them easiest , which i think i needed to get me back on plan) and have lots of lovely fresh fruit if i want anything later and like i say celebrations for a bit of naughtiness but still within the plan

Hope everyone's doing ok xx

Ooh not long to ur wedding, exciting times
Ive actually been back on plan since Dec 22nd because i was home visiting family & i had alot of boozy parties & catchin up events & put on 6lbs! I have since lost the 6lbs by stayin on plan, so im sure you will loose yours in no time xx.
My resolution needs to b exercise, i have an active job, but apart from that i need to try alot harder with exercise, i can do it but sustaining it has to be this years aim.
Good luck with your wedding planning, i'm sure you're sooo busy

Great money and time saver. I use mine so much. X

 

[pebbles67]

Morning gang , hope you're easing back into things now for those who have had a few days respite.

Seeing As dubs has her slo cooker I thought we would do a few 'one pot' recipes. You can use slo cookers or casserole pot in the oven if you don't have one. Dubby can you put your chicken one on here?
My favourite is the quorn sweet n sour (recipe on my recipe link)

Had a good day yesterday but sneaked a cheeky croissant oops. Stayed on track otherwise. Minted lamb chops and roasted veg.

Poached eggs on toast with mushrooms and tomatoes for breakfast.
Sweet and sour mugshot for lunch
Cheesy potato pie, beans for dinner.
Happy Tuesday everyone

 

[Dubchick81]

Oh yay.. Thanks Pebs

My chicken stew one is this..

Chicken stew - Serves 3

Can use Chicken drumsticks or readily chopped chicken
2 carrots sliced
1 onion chopped up finely
200g baby new potatoes
2 chicken oxo cubes
100mls of vegetable stock

Throw it all into the slow cooker (this is the beauty of it) for settings, you can stick it on high for 6-8 hours or low for 10-12 hours (this option is better for if your at work all day) then when your happy with your stew take off the meat from the drumsticks (it should practically fall off the bone) and add in 1 tbsp flour to thicken the stew ... VOILA .. tea ready and youve only been in the house half an hour

 

[Tracy831]
