Hi there

Maybe a new food diary will help you get back on your way to loosing. Your menu's look good so far, and well done on loosing 21lbs so far, thats brilliant!

I'm going to try a risotto for my tea too- never done one before- any tips!?

Have a great rest of day

Hi there

Thanks for posting! I hope writing things down will help.

The recipe I use is from the extra easy book - I made it for the first time on Sunday and was surprised at how nice it was considering it had no oil/butter in it!

I think the best tip for making a risotto is to have patience and keep stiring! If you use butternut squash in it make sure you cut it small so it cooks through.

If you have an extra A choice parmesan cheese sprinkled on top in gorgeous! Let me know how you get on!

Hey there,

thought I would update you on the risotto! It went really well and was tasty! It was even better the next day when I had it for lunch at work. I ended up doing chicken and asparagus, and instead of adding cheese to lower syns I stirred through 2 extra light laughing cow triangles. I took your advice and never stopped stirring!!

Hope all is going well with you!

Have a great weekend xx

Hi

That sounds really yummy! I'll have to try using laughing cow lights in a risotto some time. Glad you liked it!
