Looks like a great and yummy day, Sarah. I have also rediscovered the SF bug today and am going to try and stick with it this week (hopefully without second guessing myself and pointing everything in my head anyway)

Hi Sarah,
Are WW petit pains free? And are they the ones you cook at home? I've never seen them on sale anywhere here, but that could be because I haven't been looking out for them. Your food yesterday was really good. I really have to say I find SF so much easier than counting. All the weighing and calculating really drives me insane. I still weigh things like rice and pasta but nothing else really. I was trying to think yesterday of what I'd be eating differently if I was counting but I think the only difference would be I'd be having Rivita instead of pittas and Philadelphia probably a lot more. Having said that i might take a leaf out of your book and count for a week maybe in week 5, just to change it up a bit..would you recommend it?
Now..on to the most important subject...the snickers and mars bar..were they amazing?? I'm thinking of having a snickers tonight after my wi..maybe!!!

Yeah I would say have a pp wk every now and again just to keep u interested! I eat totally different on pp to sf so it's a nice change!
And what purpled said about the petit pains!
Snickers and mars was gorge! Sickly tho!
Not yet purpled I'm 2lb away from 3st!
Daisy I'm currently 10.4 and goal is 7.7, that's low but it's dead on the middle of a healthy weight for me, I'm only 5.0! I will stop b4 that tho if I find I'm happy with myself!

Thanks Purple and Sarah 
I'll have to keep an eye out for them
I think I will definitely have a pp week in week 5, so week after next, I really don't know what I'll do differently though...I'll have to have a look through the magazines and see what catches my eye.
Not sure what to have as my treat tonight now..any ideas? Maybe ice-cream and a crunchie..

Found ur recipe atomic! It is free on sf isn't it?!
Mexican sweet potato, chickpea and spinach stew
1 1/2 sliced onions
1/4 bulb of diced fennel
2 celery sticks, diced
chopped garlic
2 sweet potatoes
1/3 of a butternut squash
1 drained tin of chickpeas
most of a bag of spinach
passatta
spices/ seasonings
1 tsp reduced salt vegetable stock
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/3 tsp sweet smoked paprika
1/2 tsp smoked garlic powder
1 tsp smoked bbq seasing (I buy this in sainsburys)
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp onion powder
- I sweated off the onions, fennel, celery, garlic, spices and seasonings in 1 tsp oil for about 10 minutes until softened
- Add the bns (I had roasted the sweet potato the previous day so added this later but if it wasn't pre-roasted you'd add in here) and chickpeas and coat with the spice and onion mixture
- Add passatta and enough water to barely cover.
- Simmer for about 20 minutes or until BNS is tender. Stir through spinach and allow to wilt for a couple of minutes then serve.
The whole recipe comes in at 15 PP and I divided it into 3 HUGE portions.
