Cool Hells that's good to know. I was going to post on your diary but I can't open it anymore. My friend let me borrow his actifry to see how I liked it and I think it's great...I may buy one.

Ah it might be because I moved it to silver members, think you need 500 posts, I was getting a bit paranoid about how public it was.

I love my actifry

Sunday's Food Diary - EE I think - Starting my star week Crampsville

Breakfast/lunch - Rashers, baked beans, fried egg, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. Mug of tea with skimmed milk Hea

Snack - Mullerlight, orange, apple and nearly 2 pints of water - it helps this time of the month.

Went out for a walk with Ruby and OH. Walked around the football pitch 3 times (running the last bit!) I felt very awake when I was out. I've been doing my TM since Wednesday and I think it's helping with the energy levels.

Dinner - Pork chops (no fat) with herbs, steamed leeks, actifry chips, baked beans and fried onions. What a plate of food...my hubby did all the cooking today as I wasn't up to it. I'm syning the oil used for the chips at 2 syns.

Syns: 2 for the oil, 2 for hot choc.

I'm going to have a mullerlight, with a hifi bar Heb

Thanks Hells

Made a nice veg hot pot tonight for dinner. I didn't eat meat for a few years and I made it all the time. It's a great winter warmer. I made it the Slimming World way...just as tasty.

Roughly chop Onions, garlic, carrots, celeriac, leeks, potatoes, mushrooms. Mix tsp mild chilli powder, tinned chopped tomatoes x 2, 450mls veg stock, fresh thyme, black pepper and salt - bring this to the boil in a large oven proof pot, cover and put in the oven at 180-200 degrees for around 50 minutes, then stir in a can of kidney beans and place in the oven for a further 20 mins or so until vegetables feel cooked.

There's a cheesy chive crust that you can make that goes with this but I don't make it anymore as it probably has too many syns...it's gorgeous though!
If you want the proper recipe I'll take a photo of it out of the book so you can see what it's like and get the right measurements etc xx

Walked today in the park and did my TM twice. Good day today. I'm off now for some fruit as there wasn't much superfree with dinner.

No syns today.
