Just put some dried fruit in a bowl soaking in tea overnight to make fruit teabread , I'll let you know how it goes.
Also made carrot and coriander soup for tomorrows lunch with mini scotch eggs .

Morning Pebs.. was in the land of nod when you posted..
Am absolutely SMOTHERING... Felt really pants yesterday so went to the doctor and got an anti biotic.. Throat's not feeling too bad today but I've not stopped sneezing since about 7pm last night.. My poor nose would give Rudolph a good run for his money!!
Otherwise doing fine.. Sticking to plan mostly but needing to find out the PP value of Panadol hot drinks.. Otherwise food yesterday could have had some F&V in to improve it..But porridge for brekkie, baked potato with salad and grilled chicken.. Dinner was a concoction of chicken, veg n soy sauce with sw chips.. Then was straight to bed for me so no even puppy walk never mind exercise...

Nope still no better here pebs, foods looking good though xx

Tracy hope you feel well soon xx

Whole thing is free + hex a

Ingredients
4 skinless chicken breasts
8 low syn pork sausages/ I used joes sausagemeat
3 babybel lights
6 rashers of bacon

Method
1- spray some fry light in a square/rectangular ovenproof dish
2-slice 2 chicken breasts in small slithers and layer the bottom of the dish.
3- remove the skin from the sausages (just slide knife along and skin comes off easily)
4-break the sausagemeat up into little blobs and layer it over the chicken.
5-slice the babybel up small and lay randomly on top of the sausagemeat.
6-using a potato masher push the cheese into the sausagemeat.
7-slice the remaining 2 chicken breasts in slithers and place over the cheese/sausagemeat.
8-top with the bacon
9-cover with tin foil and cook at 200 for 40 mins or until chicken is cooked through.
10-10 mins b4 cooked remove the tin foil. You will have water from the chicken pour this away and cook uncovered

And my beauties here is missys recipe for spinach and potato curry , was yummy yum and just like the Indian restaurants sag aloo.



Recipe serves 6 so I made half and had loads. All ready for other half to take to work tonight.

1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 small onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp red chilli flakes (I used lazy chilli)
1 tin chopped tomatoes,
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups vegetable stock
2 pounds potato, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1 pound chopped frozen spinach
1 tbsp lime juice

Preheat pan and add frylight. Add mustard seeds, put lid on and let them pop for a minute (if they don't pop, turn the heat up!). Add onions and cook for 5 mins. Add more frylight as needed. Add garlic, ginger and pepper flakes and cook for another minutes. Add tomatoes (this should deglaze the pan) and cook for 3 mins, then add curry powder, cumin and salt. Add potatoes and stock (it's ok if they aren't fully covered by the stock). Put the lid on and bring to the boil, once boiling lower heat to a simmer and cook for 15 mins. Add spinach and cook for 5 mins or until spinach is thawed. Mix well and cool for another 10 mins. Add lime juice, more spice to taste and serve.
