Purplebint's Diary

Hmm, it doesn't taste cheesy but does have the texture of cheesecake topping. It tastes like proper Cadbury's chocolate too which I've been missing. I'm going to get some alpen lights or hi-fi bars and squish some down to make a cheesecake-style base and then top with the philly soon I think

Mmmm that sounds yummy!!

 

[Purplebint]

It is yummy, I keep thinking about different toppings for it. I'm going to try chopped cherries today

Still ill, still comfort eating.

Breakfast - Grapefruit and splenda

Lunch - Going to try a cabbage wrap thingy, steamed cabbage leaf, filled with chopped bacon, red onion and feta cheese. I might have a couple of these (hexa of cheese)

Dinner - Beef and mushroom pie with chips. Going to use filo for the pastry topping and make a shedload of chips.

Pud - 5 x scan bran, 4.5 syns of choc philly and some chopped cherries (hexb)

 

[Purplebint]

Cabbage wraps are awesome. (thank you taynee )

 

[Purplebint]

Beef and mushroom pie, sumac turnip chips, roast carrots and curly kale

I used 2 sheets of 6syn filo to make the topping for a whole pie, and this is a quarter portion. Yay for 3 syn pie

 

[Purplebint]

Slightly better today but still meh

Breakfast - Grapefruit +splenda

Lunch - Scrambled eggs, beans and tomatoes

[cheekychinchilla]

Well done with weigh in. Not far too go for your new shiny now
can I just ask where you get your syrups from? Are they sugar free one's? Could do with something other than Splenda for porridge

 

[Purplebint]

I got the hazelnut one for Xmas, it was on my amazon wishlist though.

Sweetbird Hazelnut Coffee Syrup Sugarfree: Amazon.co.uk: Grocery

There's vanilla and caramel sugarfree ones too

[cheekychinchilla]

I was hoping there'd be a caramel one Will have a look now. Thank you

 

[Purplebint]

I would love to find a sugar free butterscotch, oh the things I could make with that.

 

[cheekychinchilla]

Mmmmmmm! Syrup I was made up when I found out Costa do sugar free syrups now. Caramel hot chocolate

 

[Purplebint]

Steak, chips, garlic mushrooms, red onion rings and salad

Hungry day today

Breakfast - Porridge, cherries and hazenlut syrup (hexb)

Brunch - 3 poached eggs, beans followed by an apple and a pear for superfree

Dinner - waiting to see what the veg man brings before deciding what to cook

 

[ThatBubbs]

D'ya know Binty, I'm not even mad keen on veg but I'm always excited to see what you & Piggsy get, and what you concoct with them!

 

[Purplebint]

Hah, thanks Bubbs I do love my veggie boxes, bit sad to get so excited over them but hey, I'm middle aged and don't care lol

Today we have -

• leeks UK

• white onions NL
• butternut squash ES
• green cabbage UK
• spring cabbage UK

• apples UK
• bananas DO

and a free bag with 4 x grapefruit in too. I love these for breakfast, I have a ton of oranges to use up too so I think I'm going to segment both the oranges and grapefruit and store it in a big tub in the fridge for breakfasts and snacking.

Dinner - Still no idea! lol

 

[ThatBubbs]

Oooh, we like leek and mushroom risotto, you've right made me crave it with that list!

 

[Purplebint]

I let the sprogs choose, it was like Ready Steady cook in the lounge! lol

So I'm making a cottage pie, with onion, beef, red peppers, mushrooms, carrots and garlic with a celeriac and potato mash top. Will roast some more carrots and have some stir fried cabbage with mine too.
