Loved reading through your diary - I came across it searching for EE meal ideas.
My diary is called mainly red - a few odd green days. I've always been very distrusting of EE days - but after reading your diary armed with some new ideas, I'll give it a go.

Thanks x

Loved reading through your food diary Clareel, you've given me some really good ideas! A lot of your meals sound very different, and fullfilling. There are definitely a few I'm going to try out. You've also given me some ideas on how better to use my Syns

This is a great thread - I'll be popping in regularly to steal more ideas

Hope you're having a great week xx

 

[Clareel]

Thanks Princess_Stevie! I try to keep things varied so I don't get bored, I'm glad you've picked up a few ideas - steal away! x
