Thanks everyone, I really think if it wasn't for this board I would have given up now, but reading everyones post just keeps me motivated everyday.

Slight blip on the food front yesterday, mid morning I had a small cheese scone which I have pointed at 4.5 points, I ditched the WW toffee rich bar so that took me to a total points of 22.5 for yesterday, which is 2.5 over my allowance, but I earned 4 points in the gym last night so going to take these 2.5 points out of my BPs.

Sounds nice! Where r u going for your work lunch? The values might be on the eating out guide

p.s. whats cowboy pie???

 

[lydia150970]

its a pub called the Kozi bar, think its just a local place. They do small and large portions of everything and the only veggie salad they do is the goats cheese so thought I would go for the small goats cheese salad.

I'll try to post the receipe for Cowboy pie a bit later on for you.

COWBOY PIE

Serves 4 – CORE or 4.5 points per serving (for quorn)

1 Onion
low fat cooking spray
200ml (7floz) vegetable stock
350g (Quorn) mince or minced beef
420g can low fat, low salt baked beans
230g can chopped toms
salt and freshly ground black pepper
750g (1lb 10oz) potatoes, peeled and cut into 5mm (1/4inch slices)

Method

(If using normal mince, brown first and put aside)

Cook the onion in low fat cooking spray for 5 mins until softened, adding a splash of vegetable stock if needed to prevent it from sticking

Stir in the (quorn) mince, beans and chopped tomatoes and remaining stock, season and simmer for 5 minutes, then pour into a baking dish.

Ad the sliced potatoes to a large pan of boiling water. Stir so that they don't stick together and cook gently for 4 minutes or until tender but not falling apart.

Drain carefully and arrange on top of the mince mixture. Lightly mist with low fat cooking spray (Buttery best) and bake in the oven for 25mins until the topping is golden and crisp!

Well lunch didn't go quite according to plan, I ended up having Nachos!!! According to Noreens site these are 11 points but to be fair to me I only ate half of the portion and stopped when I was full up and resisted the temptation to have a desert so will mark this as 7 points to be on the cautious side. Won't have the blueberry fool tonight which will save a point so will still be in my points allowance if that makes sense!!
