Dinner tonight will be cowboy stew and macaroni cheese from the latest magazine. Have managed to stay on plan at my Parent's so feel proud of myself for that.
Exploring feeling hungry and being ok with it. I actually fear hunger if I am honest. It makes me feel pretty anxious. Need to learn it won't kill me if I am hungry for an hour or too!

What is cowboy stew? Am waiting for the new magazine to come onto my online subscription. Well done for staying on plan so difficult with all the temptation around this weekend. I've opened all the kids eggs and put them away in the treat bag so that they are out if sight, out if mind lol.

It looks like a chilli but with potatoes and carrots in it and baked beans instead of kidney beans. It is puttering away on the stove now so will see how it tastes. I have tweaked the recipe and added some paprika and a spoonful of jerk seasoning as I am a spice lover and find the magazine recipes sometimes need a little love to pep them up a bit. I have left out the potatoes this time as am doing pasta on the side - I most look forward to the macaroni cheese - it is made with yoghurt - not tried it before but I really hope it is ok as mac cheese is one of my faves. Fingers crossed.

Couldn't sleep last night so had a mega lie in today.
Granola for breakfast again. 1/2 syns for milk in coffee.
Doing roast lamb, roast potatoes, spiced red cabbage, roast carrots and parsnips and runner beans for lunch.
Hopefully will e so full from that dinner won't be needed but will be left over cowboy stew if I am hungry again.

Roast lamb sounds lovely, I haven't had lamb in ages!
its amazing how filling a plate of roast dinner can be though! I needed to sit on the couch for a good hour yesterday before I could be bothered with dishes. Hope you have a good day x

Ha! Fair enough. Roast lamb is amazing. I know what you mean about the smell when it is cooking - it is pretty strong. Doesn't put me off though. Can't wait to scoff it all! Still really full from breakfast so will be a while before we eat.

Your dinner looks yummy. I'll have to try the macs and cheese from the mag. It's not of my favourite meals.

The recipe in this month's magazine is the best I have tried (better than making the white sauce in the book of sauces ACK :9529
but if you don't really like mac cheese then I probably wouldn't bother. Food today:
Granola, Strawbs, yoghurt - Hex B
Lunch - Lentil salad with Roast chicken and an apple - 2 1/2 syns for oil and salad cream
Dinner - leftover roast lamb, potato, cabbage and gravy - 3 syns
Snacks - velvet crunch and a freddo - 10 syns - only having these if I need them - am back in the office again today so we shall see!

have eaten my velvet crunch - Yummy not tried them before and only 4 syns.
and my Freddo - 5 syns as it turned out.
So syns today - 12 including milk from my tea this morning going to have mint sauce instead of gravy tonight as it is free.
I am going to use my HEX A on babybels to counteract the sugar I just had!
Being chained to a desk all day is SOOOO boring/tiring etc that I am definitely going to hvae to allow for these treats or I will finally go off my rocker....:wave_cry:
