Minky's meals!

[MinkyDinky]

So with out further ado, I present you...... my food!
After a couple of weeks with STS and a bit of a, what shall we call it... an emotional re-awakening, I have decided to post a food diary here. I do not attend class any more (haven't since August) although hoping maybe to in the new year.

For now, any one who chooses to read my diary and comment will be my 'C' and I will love you for your help

So this week so far......

Thank you charleybabes! Was well chuffed with that loss, took me to my 4 stone

The chicken dish is from the100 extra easy days (although I weighed my chicken to make it green) and is so easy.

Have taken a pic of the recipe and attached. If not readable let me know and I can type it up


Just in case it doesnt look right in the attached, here is mine :
Boil rice, grill some chicken and tear into pieces.
Grate some ginger, crush garlic, add both with chilli and some Chinese 5 spice to the rice and wok. Cook for 5 mins
Add chicken, spring onion, mushroom, shredded pak choi, peppers and bean sprouts. As much soy sauce as you want. Cook for 10 mins till veg is as soft or crunchy as you want. You can add egg but I just didn't have enough room to scramble it in my wok!
