Thankyou both so much, it's funny really- I never realised that anyone ever read my diary, and that I just generally write to myself. All comments, requests, support is very much greatly received

Oooh Kwise if you don't mind me asking where do you find time to cook such delicious food for 3 meals a day? And even make some dessert I have no idea how you manage it?

I think you'd be suprised how many read your diary and look at the lovely pics you post of your food. I look at it every day and think wow, you're so organised where the hell do you find the time! I wish I lived in your house!

I won't be a silent secret reader anymore, I'll say hello and tell you how nice your meals look x

Thankyou , yes don't just read, please post

I am ( from what I'm told) very organised. Probably a bit OCD and I think with the diet a tad anal (I checked out a Harvester menu prior to going!! ) :help2:

So a bit about me:- I am a mum of 2 and I work mon-thurs (7:30-4:30) . So after picking the kids up, getting changed, making them their tea and then bath ,read, bed. I start cooking our meal(mine and DH). However prior to this I write a weekly menu, buy the ingredients online (and get them delivered) and that's it really- it's not difficult at all.
I have been doing SW for so many years now (about 20 I think) so have loadsa recipes . With the SW changes these have changed too. I love new recipes and enjoy cooking.

The recipes I do during the week have to be quick though and tasty.

At the weekend we eat as a family midday, so I tend to cook stuff that requires more prep or longer cooking times. Sometimes I will start it earlier.

Since finding this site (near to restarting my diet) it has given me a new want to slim, this means at the weekend, I just want to bake cakes- I can't just sit and do nothing lol. So I have got out my recipe books and tried stuff out . Yesterdays Jaffa cake was not a great success ( needs more chocolate) but others are eg the lemon curd recipe that I got here.

Also buying my ICECREAM maker has been a fantastic help.

Wow Kwise its amazing that you can juggle all that - Well Done on doing so. Organisation is the key for success but i'm not as orgnaised as you

I'm glad that you are doing so well and i will be trying to attempt some of your recipes (Wil tell you how they go lol). You seem to have such a nack for experimenting with your cooking and recipes

Based on all the yummy ice creams you have made i think i may have to invest in a Ice cream maker myself

Hey Kwise i was just wondering if you made any changes to the Lemon curd recipe as i made it today but it was a bit too lemony if that makes sense? Just thought i'd ask because if i make it again i think i would only use 1/2 a lemon

Hope your having a lovely mothers day anyways

Hiya Sum,

Only made 1 change. But it will depend on the size of the lemon you use. I gauge it that each half a lemon should have 1 Tblsp juice in it otherwise it's a large lemon and will end up being too lemony. If it's still too lemony, omit the rind.

3 Tblsp Splenda
2 Large Eggs (or 3 small- medium ones)
Grated Rind (yellow part only grated on finest grater side) & Juice of 1 lemon
2oz 0% Greek Yogurt

Whisk the eggs and lemon juice together in a glass bowl with a metal balloon whisk until combined. Whisk in splenda and rind.

Place bowl over a pan of just pre- simmering water making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk continuously until thickened.

Remove from heat and whisk in Greek Yogurt. Pour into a prepared sealtight jar and allow to cool- we can never wait lol

Let me know how it goes
