Meal plan for Friday 8th Oct

B - prawn n pepper omlette with beans
S - apples/grapes n mullerlight
L - Roast chicken, ww chips and mushy peas
S - 2 alpenlights with banana
D - pasta n sauce with veg

Not having any syns to make up for todays mince/oil fiasco

 

[kirstabubble]

Don't worry about it, these things happen, and it's a learning curve. And from the looks of it, you didn't have any syns that day anyway, I doubt you used more than 10 because of mince/oil kerfuffle.

As for the chick pea dhal being a bit too spicy, you could always stir in a bit of fat free plain fromais frais once you've heated it up, to down down the spice a bit (make sure you do it once it's warm otherwise the fromais frais will curdle).

Have a look in the recipes thread and also the one called 'Where the bargains are at' (something like that)...that should give you some good ideas for meals and stuff

Do you really think it wasnt that many syns? I think i read somewhere that there is 1 syn for every 28g of lamb mince so say I had about 100g thats 4 syns approx then I dont know how many syns r in oil? Im just gonna forget about it lol. Im back on track today . Are mushy peas superfree or superspeed? I need to be really good for the next couple of days cos its my daughters 6th birthday party on weds and i am gonna have some cake lol

 

[CLAIREA]

PS thanks for the advice Kirsty - I will try that with the chickpea dahl. Also I will check out that thread now Do u have a food diary? xx

[CLAIREA]

[mimiclaudette]

Yeah, its a great feeling. I passed mine second time round. Can't live without my car now, although it is off the road at the mo, its killing me having to look at it every day and having to walk or go get the bus. But there again, its got me more active now x

 

[CLAIREA]

Hi Claire,

I do indeed have a food diary...I've just updated it. I've been TERRIBLE over the last two days. Am hoping playing tennis and going to the gym may save me on Moday weigh in! I always find if I've not had my Hex A's, I just have a glass of milk before I go to bed. Assuming you like milk of course

For a cheap meal, today I did pasta with Phily Garlic and herb - had leaks and broccoli in it (was supposed to be peas according to recipe but DD doesn't like them) It was lovely and she has said I can cook it again, was really quick and easy The recipe was in this months mag.

 

[CLAIREA]

Have commented on your diary Kirstabubble Twizzle that sounds nice, i have never read a sw mag - are they really good?

 

[kirstabubble]

I always treat myself to one if I've lost the week they come out. Do you go to group Claire, as they're a bit cheaper there? They always have really good recipes.
