Anyone else weigh at home on a thursday- wanna post?

Evening ladies!

I'm currently cooking BBQ chicken, sweet potato wedges and coleslaw, and I'm sooooo hungry! So over the weekend I decided I'm not going to take the new job *sobs* I would be taking a £7000 a year decrease and just can't afford it right now so looks like ill be stuck where I am for a while longer!

How's everyone's days been? I have been good food wise just some savoury rice and lettuce. Oh a Jordan's breakfast bar. Xxx
 
It's a tough decision bean but no brainer when it comes to money.


Lovely day out shopping with frank. Except we had to actually pay 20p for a wee in the shopping centre.

Red day

Breakfast - milky coffee ( HEA 250ml semi skimmed)

Lunch - ham and egg with a 1 syn dollop of mayo in 2 mini marks and Spencer's wholemeal subs (1HEB) and a satsuma

Dinner. - New York chicken made with chicken breast, bacon, cheese ( 40g reduced fat cheddar 1HEA) and syn free BBQ
sauce, veg, and a 230g baked Potato (1HEB) with a laughing cow ex light (1 syn)


Just made some carrot and coriander soup and some red pepper, chilli , tomato and chicken soup for tomorrow and Wednesdays lunch.

Went to market yesterday and bought a farmyard full of meat. I bought
24 pork loin chops for £20,
20 chicken breasts for £20 ,
5lb bacon for £10,
60 sausages for £5,
16 minted lamb chops for £10
and a huge lump of sirloin steak which they cut into 20 thick steaks for £30. Just lucky I've freezer space.


So I'm planning menus tonight along with the damage limitation DATDEB Menu.

Working a half day tomorrow yippee xx

BBQ sauce for New York chicken ( syn free)




1 onion
8fl oz passata
1 tsp mild chilli powder
3 tbsp sweetener
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Sauté the chopped onion and add chilli, fry until soft, add other ingredients and simmer for 10 mins then blitz with a blender if you wish or leave as it is.

To be honest Pebs, I'm slipping a bit - no major badness, just a little loosening of everything!! I'm just not quite 100% - like, today was supposed to be a red day - but it even started bad - Claire refused to eat her Cheerios, wanted weetabix instead do I swapped with her (she had said she wanted weetabix but Martin wasn't listening.....) for break at work I had muller light and banana, lunch was a hexB sandwich and 2 mandarins. Then I had a handful of nuts at my mother's and a bite out of joe's banana. Dinner was pizza chicken with roasted pepper and baby potatoes. Then my evening snack - teddy bear crisps and a glass of coke. So actually, yes, quite a lot of badness.......

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SAGE RISOTTO
SERVES 3

1st chop a bns and roast in oven with some sage (can use dry sage)for about 30 mins or until soft

then in a pan fry an onion and a clove of garlic.when thats all softened add 300g risotto rice and keep topping up with some vegetable stock. I used 2 veg stock cubes and a 2 and half pints of water and kept topping up.
Add salt and pepper

when bns is done , mash half and put it in with your rice and this will turn it a lovely yellowey orangey colour,keep topping up with stock untill rice is cooked,then when all stock is absorbed dish out and put remaining bns on top.

also really nice if grate hea of cheese on top.

Thanks for this, I made the bacon and butternut squash one out of one of the books, was very yummy but I had to cook it for longer than they said. Will give yours a whirl next, trying to get more adventurous with my meals at the mo. x
