You have such a delish food day planned! What is your minestrone recipe? May give that one a go! And also, how do you rate your homemade hummus? I'm not sure I will be able to handle a lack of tahini! Hummus is my absolute love and I miss it! Try to resist buying it though because once I start there's no stopping me! x

It is quite exciting having all this healthy food ready to eat

Chopped a small onion, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 carrots. Gently heated in a pan for 10 minutes. Then i added a tin of chopped tomatoes, 1 pint of beef stock, and about 2oz of macaroni (a bit much i think as it has absorbed the sauce, so i'll need to add water before re-heating). Then I seasoned it, brought to the boil, and simmered for half an hour. You need to keep stirring it though as the macaroni sticks to the bottom a bit. Then finished it off with some basil I added some chilli to speed up metabolism but of course that is optional.

I think the hummus is okay .... it is a bit dry, but it does fill a gap and encourages superfree because of the crudites. Lemon juice helps it a lot.

Aw thanks honey I'm pretty pleased about everything I have made for it.

Ooh dinner sounds scumdiddlyumptious

My minestrone soup is effectively pasta but really tasty. More stock and less pasta next time I think.

For once don't think i'll be hungry at work .... i've got this to eat and some bread to mop up the sauce, then i've got homemade hummus and crudites, and melon and yoghurt!

I think I shall give that recipe a go! I know! Thats how I have felt on green days, and I haven't even felt like I have over done it on the carbs win win situation! I often go home with something left over from lunch or snacks, but it's nice to know they are there if I need them.. then i have no excuse for buying rubbish, plus I am learning so much more that rubbish really doesn't fill me up. If im that hungry I should be eating something worth while it won't work everytime but if it happens most of the time then I am winning x

Red Day

Breakfast Weetabix (HEB1) with milk and 2 drinks (HEA1)
Lunch Leftover Quorn dinner from last night. Gonna have to syn the kidney beans (4?) but I wasn't going to waste it!
Snacks 2 satsuma, 3 ryvita wholegrain (HEB2), Melon, Yoghurt
Dinner Cod, brocolli, tomatoes and chorizo (2.5/28g - not sure how much gonna use yet) bake with extra vegetables!

HEA 2 Mill for more coffees

I'm at recruitment training today so needed my snacks to stop me munching on free biscuits. Also thought I might need a lot of coffee so saved my HEA2 for milk.

Hope everyone has a lovely day xxxx
