Sausage on a mission - veggie green days diary

[silly sausage]

This week's result...

Morning all. Loads of great losses this week Sorry to be a party pooper, but I gained 5 pounds. Jeezo. I was off work and just grazing all week. Back to work tomorrow to a place where there is no food or temptation. On a positive note, I can now do my kettlebell workout without hurting the next day

Nuff said.

LOL Moz, you know you can buy mini hula hoops in a tub (or you used to be able to). Don't know if they sell them on your planet.

On my planet?? On my planet?? Cheek of the woman! To be totally honest I have no idea if they do sell them here, I don't recall seeing any... next time I'm stacking the crisp aisle I'll have a look.

I'm going to make mushroom and lentil loaf on Wednesday. I want it today but need to wait til payday to get the mushrooms. It's seriously yummy though!

Looking good - straight back on plan - hooray!

I like the look of your beany ratatouille. Do you use aubergine in it? I can't for the life of me cook aubergine - especially to be SW friendly, so I hardly ever use it even though I quite like it. Any tips gratefully received!

 

[silly sausage]

Hi Beegee - I am not a big fan of aubergines so never buy them. The ratatouille is just basic veggie "red stuff" - onion, pepper, courgette, mushrooms, sweetcorn, tinned tomatoes, baked beans, kidney beans and spag bol oxo. I had a portion tonight - added a tin of chickpeas, pickled onions, curry powder and fennel seeds and called it curry!


Wednesday 26th October

Breakfast:
porridge made with milk (hexB + hexA)
pineapple, banana, grapes

Lunch:
toast (hexB)
scrambled eggs
ketchup (0.5 syns)
apple

Dinner:
curry

Snacks:
3 x M&S bonbels (counting this as a hexA + 3 syns as I reckon they are just babybels in disguise)
...dunked in a tablespoon of pear and walnut chutney (no idea how to syn this as my mum made it. Will call it 5 syns?)


Total syns: 8.5
Fluids: good
Exercise: kettlebell workout 20 mins


My cheese and chutney would have been a lot more enjoyable had a cat not been trying to wrestle the bonbels off me

...dunked in a tablespoon of pear and walnut chutney (no idea how to syn this as my mum made it. Will call it 5 syns?)

Psssshaw! ... and Pffffft!! You should know very well that mother's don't syn! Angels we are..... therefore the mum-made chutney must be free! It's a theory anyway! :8855:

 

[silly sausage]

I dunno. There were big walnuts in it

Is it a theory, or is it the law?

My theory is that it should be law

Hi sausage! How are you doing hun? I'm plodding along, struggling to update my diary but I made cheese scones today and thought of you! Free on green. I'm having a spread the love cheese scone day lol!

Any new must try recipes that I need to know about lol? I loved your lentil loaf, omnom!

 

[silly sausage]

Hiya Cake I am feeeeeling the lurve!!!!! Thank you for sharing!

I just posted several questions on your scone thread. I must have been abducted by Smash Martians or something as I am very wary of it

My recent great recipe find is this one and I recommend it heartily...

[ILoveCake]

Ohhh tagine, my sort of comfort food! Ty, off for a nosey now.

The scones are so good, they don't taste at all like smash, they tasted warming and filling, great for snacking or mixing into meals. That's why I used tesco value smash because smash isn't really my thing. My husband was trying to guess the ingredients and he couldn't....he hates cottage cheese I was laughing my arse off! Cruel aren't I!?

 

[silly sausage]

LOL Don't tell him!

Well the pressure is on for me to produce some scones for tonight that are photogenic!

 

[ILoveCake]

I just saw your pic, amazing!!! Your's were slightly neater than mine and yours looked amazing with your cajun stew!
So are you now a instant smash convert? It doesn't taste at all like smash does it...the cheesiness amazed me.

Excuse me I'm on the vodka and no food yet so my tongue is going numb! Remind me of this if I get a gain lol!

 

[silly sausage]

I thought the cheesy scones and cajun stew dinner was missing something :hmm:







Yep, it was wine! LOL I am remedying that now You didn't mention in your recipe how many the batch served....so I scoffed the lot. Oink oink. If I have a gain at weigh in tomorrow morning, I will be pointing a chubby finger at you, Cake! x

 

[blue*smartie]

I also made the scones tonight, they are sooooooooooooooooooo nice :drool: I am going to have to go to asda tomorrow for some more cottage cheese

good luck for tomorrow's weigh in Sausage, I shall be keeping my beady little eye out for your result

 

[ILoveCake]

LMAO!!!! @chubby finger! When I made a batch I made 7 (I think) and shared them as a snack with my family of 6! But as a meal well you are allowed! They are filling, you must have felt satisfied after! You could make a batch and only cook half and put the other half in the fridge for a day or two. You can't eat them raw lol! I'm yet to know what they are like served cold, nothing lasts that long in my house.

All last night I was dreaming about making small ones and rolling them in frylight and pureed garlic to make dough balls. It was killing me lol!

Bluesmartie, they are soooo good aren't they. I'm going to kiss my consultant for that recipe on Monday,
