My lovely mermaid-haired friend, Honey39 from the Sunday thread, gave this amazing recipe to try. Wow...

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili | GreenLiteBites

...it is seriously delicious!

I made a couple of wee changes. The recipe used a massive sweet potato. I used 500g of peeled little oddbod sized ones. I couldn't get black beans, so used a tin of mixed pulses. I threw in a green pepper that was going a-begging and a handful of frozen sweetcorn. I used a couple of garlic cloves instead of powder.

I served it with brown rice and pea guacamole.

To make pea guacamole...

200g of frozen peas (any more and they wont fit into my mini chopper!) - boiled for a moment then cooled in cold water
1 clove of garlic
1 red chilli (or a few jalapenos from a jar)
juice of a lemon
pinch of cumin
pinch of coriander (powder)
salt and pepper

Whizz it all together then add a de-seeded tomato to the chopper and whizz again.

I might give that sweet potato/beany chilli thing a whirl it sounds/looks yummy and not too expensive especially as I have some sweet potatoes in the fridge. I'm not sure how they got there, I didn't buy them Is the cilantro important? what is cilantro? I'm a dimwit ..... and is it really 3 tsp chilli powder? mine is ever so hot and if I used 3tsp I might not survive the experiment

 

[silly sausage]

Cilantro is foreign for coriander Can't stand the leafy stuff, but the powdered stuff works well in this recipe. Yes, 3 tsp of chilli...just don't heap them too high! Honestly, it was very flavoursome, but it didn't make my nose run.

I have to go to sleep now Laters x

 

[OzzieMoz]

Night night, sleep well! I'm just going to catch up on some threads, finish my tea and then get down to housework - oh joy!!

 

[Beegee]

Good heavens, those scones look amazing! I've only been away for a few days and everything has gone scone mad. I'm off to find this thread and get me some scone action! Glad the sts was worth it x

 

[silly sausage]

LMAO @ scone action! Welcome back Beegee


Monday 31th October

Breakfast:
porridge made with milk and a scan bran (hexB + hexA)

Lunch:
banana sandwich (hexB)
carrot cake (1.5 syns)

Dinner:
sweet potato and mixed bean chilli
wholegrain rice
pea guacamole

Snacks:
Halloween swizzlefest
double lollies, love hearts, parma violets etc...off the chart.

Total syns: who knows

I feel poisoned today after my swizzlefest. Eating crap really does take its toll the next day. I obviously cannot be trusted to eat one, so will try to avoid completely for the foreseeable. Got some nuts for healthy, synful, snacks for the rest of the week. Also adding a scan bran this week to see if it makes any difference. New month/new brain.

A banana sandwich? Hehe I love a mashed banana on buttered bread... Yum!

 

[silly sausage]

Hi Roziee! Would you like my recipe?

a banana
2 bits of bread

Careful not to mash the banana though as it turns into a mars bar or something when you do. Better to slice it. Hope that helps

How are you today? Have you started your new job?

 

[Beegee]

Ooh banana sandwich, I used to love that - 2 thick bits of bread, lots of peanut butter and a banana. Was it weird to add peanut butter?! Happy days.

Sorry you over-indulged yesterday but I don't think it will have done too much harm. There's no fat in that stuff, just sugar. I think sugar is fairly harmless compared to eating an equivalent weight of say - butter. (Does that make any sense?!) Guess we'll find out whether I'm totally wrong on sunday when you weigh in! If you net a loss I may get myself down to the swizzell shop, so fingers crossed ...

 

[silly sausage]

Peanut butter and banana are an ideal pairing I have six days to work off the swizzles and will give it my best shot.

It's yonks since I had a banana sandwich - not since childhood in fact!! Which was back almost in the age of the dinosaurs

I feel a rebellion coming on and a fork poised to mash! Bananas are coming down in price here now - give it a few more weeks and I can have my first banana since February and when I do have one, I'm going to mash it!! Living life on the edge as always

 

[ILoveCake]

Ahhhhhh a buttery mashed banana sandwich...heavenly, especially with mashed banana on one side and nutella on the other.....on white bread....of course......SLOWELY KILLING ME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

Sausage, swizzels, hehe. there were celebrations going at my house, I had 3 before I started shouting like a mad woman' take the box away, take it away I'm about to become out of control'. Only people on here can understand that feeling lol. Honestly the malteser celebrations were melting like pure velvet on my tongue.

 

[blue*smartie]

What is all this talk of mashed banana? You should know that having a mashed banana instead of a sliced one is the SW equivilent of harming poor sweet innocent kittens, you bunch of rebels

[silly sausage]

Now my lunch has been turned into a Christmas Day at Elvis's house fantasy - white bread, butter, nutella, peanut butter, mashed banana and a side order of fried fairies!!
