Day 50 yesterday , so here's the menu
Zorba chicken recipe over on thread.
Today I was out with my best friend and it was so lovely seeing her. We started off with coffees in the cafe, then a quick look around marks and then onto a little pub. Really wanted scampi but stuck to plan and asked for the grilled Cajun chicken burger without the bun, swapped chips for jacket, swapped butter portion for mayo and had salad plus an extra side salad to share. Then had black coffee.
ThE day went tooooooo quickly.
. Just cooked dinner which was a new recipe, pea , cauliflower & feta frittata. It was quite nice but now am stuffed !!

HERE I GO AGAIN !!!!!!!
Its a pre invite for the wedding so people know to book it off work. Been out today and put deposit on flowers too. Went dress shopping at the weekend and fell in love with a pretty big dress... i actually still felt thin in it! Think the fact I had been trying on pre preg clothes that morning and summer shorts I couldnt do up were fitting perfect
I am a sucker for scampi too get you amd your willpower to go for the cajun chicken

Ok Arby's thanks for letting me know, see I've learnt something new. Right me and trace will sort out transport but we would like to be near the buffet please and we promise to behave . Lol . Oh you better have scampi on the menu !
Yes trace I use wmeal rolls . I use any so long as they're 60g. Marks and Spencer's mini subs are 30g each, so you can have two for a hexb. Or lidls rolls. I've been meaning to try the doughnut and that choc peanut butter tart.

Baked choco & peanut butter tart
Serves 4 @ 3 1/2 syns each
Ingeredents
1 box silken tofu
5 scan bran finely chopped/blended(5 syns)
1 TBS golden syrup(2 1/2)
2 TBS boiling water
2 TBS cocoa powder(2 syns)
1 TBS peanut butter(4 syns)
8 ish TBS sweetner
1, Place golden syrup into microwave for 30 seconds till runny.
Then add along with the water to the scan bran and mix throughly.
Then add the mix to a frylighted tin or pirex dish and flatten as much as possible. Then place in a preheated oven on gas mk 5 for 10 mins.
2, while base is cooking blened 1/2 the tofu with 4-6 TBS of sweetner and the 2 tbs of cocoa, blen untill no lumps and goes all silk like, then place to one side and repeat with the other half tofu, sweetner & peanut butter blending again untill no lumps and goes all smoth.
3, remove base from oven and top with chocolate mix first, when all mix is on bang it lightly on the worktop to release any air pockets.
Then top with the peanut butter mix and again bang slightly to release air pockets.
4, place back into the preheated oven on the gas mk 5 still for 30-40 mins or untill top looks compleatly set then remove from oven.
5, leave to cool & chill for at least 1 hour before serving with any fruit of your choice and maybe some anchor light( 1 syn for 12 1/2g)
Whole cake works out at 13 1/2 syns

Had a great day today. Was up early and on the train to London for Lauren's hospital appt for her pre-op check. God love her she had to have blood taken and she's not the bravest of princesses. We got there early and headed for the costa in the hospital. She had a whacking huge blueberry muffin and I had a weetabix Oaty bar, a banana and a skinny cappuccino.
When we finished I said id treat her and she asked for a McDonald's milkshake ! So we went via morrisons and I got a sandwich and crisps to eat in there. Cheeky I know but I did but a McDonald's coffee to go with it.
The crisps I got were the 'nume' range ( morrisons own reduced fat range) at 85 cal - 4 syns per pack and were delicious. A real change to the normal run of the mill stuff. These were lemongrass Thai cassava
Home again and dinner was a new recipe of mine - chicken tagine , I used broad beans and 4 or 5 apricots , it was extremely tasty everyone loved it. 2 syns per portion.

KITKAT CHUNKY!!!!!!! Lol that's what to do with syns.
Write it off and start afresh tomorrow arby. A lb on is disheartening when you've tried hard and have been doing so well. I'm not going to say a lb is nothing it's easily lost, because if a lb on is not much then a lb off is not much either and that's not true . But , way I will say is don't get down about it, it will level out again and be history by next week. You just show those pounds who is boss. Xxxx
Thanks for the comments, I try to make it yummy , kids don't always share the enthusiasm so it means multi menus in this house at times.
Tonight in my cafe -
Ben had sausage , potato cubed actifry chips and cauliflower cheese( full fat - he needs it)
Lauren had McDonald's that she decided she didn't want earlier after I'd ordered it, then decided on a piece of chicken as well for tea
Frank & I had tagine, then he needed a packed lunch too, he works nights so needed something to take in.
I need lunch for tomorrow at work, so put together a little feast of fritata and salad .
Lauren needs lunch tomorrow so made her some things too
Took apron off, dashed out to a friends who was having a pampered chef party, where I had a half glass of wine, literally 75-100 mls. Then the damned woman made brownies and got us all to taste them and give a verdict, so I did eat a small square as all eyes were on us one by one.
Got home and had a small piece of frittata and now sitting with you , here in bed with a cup of green tea. ( I'm tolerating it !! Say no more)
Xx
No kitkat chunky for me tonight need to go food shopping in the morning spent all night promoting my jewellery page so even forgot to eat my fruit! Oh well way under daily syns but never mind.
Off out to chester tomorrow to take sister bridesmaid dress shopping so I am sure to end up in central perk, their red velvet cake is to die for so will make sure I cant see it as I will re lose this lb next week!!
Good luck tomorrow everyone! X
