Sausage on a mission - veggie green days diary

[Beegee]

Oh that's good Pringle news - not quite so evil after all!

 

[craftylucyloo]

No but stay away anyway lol! Xx

 

[silly sausage]

Ooohh Gail! Thank you! That is good news indeed

Hiya Chinchilla

Beegee - in our Sainsburys, the harissa is with the weird stuff rather than the herbs and spices. On their website they call it "special selection foods", if that helps. Probably not lol

Will have more syns today. Sounds daft, but I am feeling better for doing the salsacise already (after 2 days lol). It is very gentle - like line dancing with a wiggle - but it is pulling my tummy in I reckon. Or maybe my posture is just a bit better. Dunno, but I am enjoying it.

Well done Sausage. I'm not sure your lunches would keep me satisfied but I like the sound of your dinners. Fancy a trip to Manchester to cook for me for a while ???

Hehe...no chance. I know what you mean about my lunches. I have breakfast at 9am and lunch at 3pm. I work between these hours, but don't like to eat at work. Only fruit and water. By the time I get lunch, I am happy to eat anything that hits the spot. You might have liked today's lunch though - spicy mixed bean and tomato soup. Made it last night for today and tomorrow and it is very filling (and syn free!)

 

[cheekychinchilla]

Oooh the soup sounds nommy

 

[silly sausage]

The soup is just whizzed up passata, stock, onion, tin of mixed beans and cajun spices. Very filling.

I overcooked the cauliflower in the bake so it looks like baby mush, but it was very cheesey and that's what matters.

Definitely following this thread and am going to make the bhajis at the weekend. Keep it up

 

[craftylucyloo]

Oh yeah the bhajis.. don't let me forget about those! The cheesy bake looks lovely. x

 

[silly sausage]

I am too mortified to post what I ate yesterday

Anyway, a new day and a new mission. Just been explaining on the Sunday thread that I am on holiday now for a week. Without the routine of the working day, there is a real danger I will go off the rails completely.

To try to prevent this, I will be having a set menu this week - same food every day. This means I don't have to think of food and have no reason to go into the kitchen to get anything that is not on the list. Sounds a bit silly, but I did it once before for a week and it was very successful.

Once I have worked out my daily menu, I will post it here. Hope you are all having a better weekend x

 

[gwennypenny]

You can do it, Sausage!

But I'm dying to know what you ate yesterday lol

 

[silly sausage]

Oh don't go there Gwenny! lol

 

[craftylucyloo]

Hope you have a good week. Just keep thinking - it's only food - just fuel!! I'm sure you'll be fine. xx

Hello Silly sausage

I'm just having a nosey at your diary as I'm probably going to be mostly green days for a bit and I'm loving the sound of the tomato and bean soup so I think I'll try that one next week (already have this week's soups planned).

I'm doing it from home without a group (or online!) recently found it very difficult to stick to but I'm back to try again

Will be following your diary with interest.

 

[silly sausage]

Yep Lucyloo, it is only fuel. Some people *pointing no fingers* keep mentioning mushroom and lentil loaf today, so I think it wil feature highly on my menu next week

 

[silly sausage]

Hiya Red

I am also doing it from home. I weigh on the Sunday thread which is a great help. As none of us go to group we have nobody in real life to bore to death talking about scan bran with etc, so we have a good natter on the thread. Pop in any time x

 

[silly sausage]

I have this in the oven! Lucky me!

Mediterranean sausage, fennel, canellini bean and tomato gratin

First attempt. Will report back and post photos of my effort.

 

[gwennypenny]

Ooo that sounds yum!!

Can't wait to see the photos

I think I did a you today. Not even going to try and syn what I ate lol...

Off to make the bhajis
