Good point Rosie - the big sainbury's here is definitely the best for quorn - the problem is for me is that is only accessibly by car and I do most of the shopping by bus as my oh works shifts and has the car.

I have made my overnight oats for tomorrow, I've used a vanilla muller with choc sprinkles and raspberries and 1 syn of choc shot for chocolate raspberry porridge which I'm super excited about.

I've also stuck my icing for my scan bran cake in the freezer in hopes it will turn out ice cream like. Hot ginger cake with biscoffi ice cream mmmm

 

[Poppet12]

Like the sound of hot ginger cake and pretend ice cream! I agree that Sainsburys is great for quorn products. I wish I'd bought the chorizo now as I rarely shop there :-/ x

 

[snowbryneich]

Yeah - I regular shop in the little one in town but the big one I need to hassle my OH about. I want to get there soon so I can stock up on quorn mini kievs now I'm doing red

On my next green day - I'm going to do a slimming world version of this with added quorn chorizo Creamy tomato risotto | BBC Good Food

 

[snowbryneich]

The ice cream was lovely. I ended up chucking some quark inwith my Hea to bulk it up but it was really nice and ice cream like and didn’tgo on crystally like it has every time I’ve tried to freeze yoghurt. The philligave it a real creaminess like real ice cream. I am going to try it with a tbspof nutella and some choc shot for chocolate ice cream!

D: Ostrich fillet, carrot chips, salad and coleslaw (2 syns)
Snacks
Clementine’s
Ham and 4 laughing cow lights (HEA1)

[Grumpy Space Princess]

Ooh, that pretend ice cream sounds good! I will have to try that. Every time I've tried to freeze yogurt it's gone all crystally as well.

 

[broadsbean]

i love how inventive you our with your meals. i am off to hunt down some choc shot cos i really really want choc and raspberry porridge now
I do have a burger stuffer and love it. it does make huge big burgers though. my favorite is onion mushroom and peppers with low-low spread cheese with chilli. the cheese oozes out when you cut into it yum xx

good luck for tonight's weigh in although with your menu for this week i am sure its going to be fab x

haha I think I had got in a bit of a rut so now trying to mix it up. I have been loving the choc raspberry porridge - yest i had no vanilla yoghurt left so i used coconut so had chocolate raspberry and coconut which was really nice.

Your burger does sound yum - I bet low low would be better than babybel lights as while it was nice to have oozy cheese in the middle I find babybel lights don't taste of much and I love the taste of low low. I would probably use low low with chilli and still chuck some jalapenos in there.

 

[snowbryneich]

Well the study scales show a three pound gain over night which is depressing - I am assuming must be water retention as I've been on plan.
(That or they are just wrong again!) Going to have some green tea and lots of water - though I stop drinking at 2 on weigh day.

[Estameme]

What a drag, but like you say it's not a real gain because you've stuck to plan. Water retention, TOTM, needing a poop! it all adds up. Good luck for tonight!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Good luck for WI!

And loving the sound of that choc raspberry and coconut oats mmm.

Re yog ice cream I have a cheap ice cream maker and it makes lovely Muller yog ice cream, I'm making coconut and lime this weekend

 

[snowbryneich]

A STS! Slightly relieved - it's a little gutting it isn't a loss after three red/sp days in a row which normally get the best result (damn you carbs) but I was so relieved it wasn't a gain when I've been good! Hopefully it will show next week.

 

[S_J_B]

So frustrating when you don't get a loss after a good week but stay strong and focused then it will be a good one next week x

 

[broadsbean]

sure it will show next week x especially with your lovely menus x no choc shot in my local asda so hubby has been challenged to find me some

i will have choc raspberry porridge !!!!!!

 

[chezz]

it will show next week love x x

 

[snowbryneich]

Thanks guys. at least the official numbers didn't go in the wrong direction. It hovered between 3.5 and 4 and I was sure it was going to settle on 4 for a 0.5 gain so was extra relieved.

broadbean - I have only ever got choc shot in sainsbury's up here - but if you can't get any I think you could use an options for 2 syns instead of 1?
