Click to expand...

Have you made it yet?

Just catching up, what did you think of the mushy pea curry? I bought done mushy peas ages ago, but haven't braved it yet!

Makes me laugh that I keep seeing scallion in your diary, I call them spring onions and my other half calls them scallion and he always corrects the kids when they call them spring onions

Haven't tried the curly wurly cake yet :) I'm going to buy the scan bran at group tomorrow. I might get two packets of it and see if I can make something exciting with it...the normal cake the consultant makes with it is gross so I thought this might be interesting!

The mushy pea curry turned out well and I'd do it again. It's a good one for when you only have canned foods left in the house :) It's worth a go. Is your OH Irish or Irish connections??? Where I'm from we pronounce scallion as 'scullion'!

Dinner - I made the Cheese and Onion bake out of the SW All in One book. Was quite nice. Potatoes, carrots, peas, quark (should have been ff cottage cheese but I didn't have any - will use it the next time as it may make the bake creamier?) 3 eggs and cheddar cheese. One portion of this dish works out at (5.5 syns). It would have only been 4 but I used full fat cheddar.

Snacks - bowl of fruit with a Mullerlight. Wee orange, pear, 1/4 of a pomelo (I bought it thinking it was a melon, it's kindof like a large grapefruit). Penguin bar (5.5 syns) with a cuppa tea.

I lost 0.5 lbs this week. I feel a little bloated and think I'm coming into my star week so I was in craving mode. It doesn't happen me often so I'm not going to worry too mush about it.

I was out with Ruby for about 30 minutes today so I got to stretch my legs.

Saturday's Food Diary - 26/1/12 Green Day

Breakfast/lunch - 2 weetabix HEB with Skimmed milk HEA with a wee orange, apple and a 1/4 of a pomelo.

Dinner - Mushy pea curry. I bought marrowfat peas by mistake and used them instead to make the curry. I think it was nicer. I used the slow cooker to make it this time and it was lovely. Baked beans, marrowfat peas, chickpeas, tinned toms, tomato puree, onion and mushrooms with actifry potato cubes. Very tasty.

Syns - I've gone to hell altogether this week. I had two of the cookies I made last night and about 4 of the magic bars....I don't know where to start so I'll leave the syns at 30.

I shouldn't have anymore now until weigh day!!! Drinking plenty of water. The dinners are on plan...it's just the synning that's gone out the window
