Haha, thanks claire!

Nah i wouldnt really bother with the stroganoff if i was you - but then again i suppose everyones tastes are different?! But it was just a bit tastless and i put ALOT of paprika in it and lots of lovely pepper and garlic in etc, it looked sooooo nice in the magazine, but didnt quite live up to expectations!!!

Red day today (suprize suprize!)!!!


Im having a rough couple of day prior to * week, feeling very bloated and miserable!!! so Im trying to keep my meals as healthy as I can!

Breakfast: 2 Alpen light bars (choc & fudge) Muller light yoghurt

Lunch: Salad: raw ribboned beetroot, ribboned carrott, red onion & 2 laughing cow extra light cheese triangles and some balsamic vinegar!

Dinner: went to morrisons last night to take advantage of their sea bass, £1.50 for a whole sea bass is awesome! and the fishmonger filleted it for me, deboned/scaled it and told me how to cook it! cant say fairer than that! he said to make a sauce to go with it, juice of a lemon, lime and orange, boil it up and reduce it to about half, then add some fat free natural youghurt just before you put it on the cooked fish - might try this!
So ill have sea bass - dunno about the sauce, tenderstem broccoli, sweetcorn & Mushrooms!

Snacks: 2 Alpen Light Bars (HEB)
Muller Light Yog
Skinny Latte (HEA)

I'd love to know how you cooked your Sea Bass and what it tasted like?
I'm not a big fish eater but do enjoy pretty much most foods just dont tend to buy fish....dont know why apart from it scares me lol

Hey Loopeylou,
How are you?
Well I pan fried it with fry light, skin side down for 2 mins, when it was skin side down, I sprinkled on some chilli flakes, salt and a squidge of lemon juice, then flipped it over for another minute and a half - 2 mins....
It tastes deliecious! Im not a massive fish fan either, i just eat it beacuse its meant to be quite healthy! but its not what I call a "Fishy Fish" If you know what i mean? Its a very meaty fish kind of the same texture of salmon i suppose, but not as strong a taste! I love it now and its definately going to be one of my weekly meals!!!

Evening,
Thanks for the tip about Sea Bass, will def try it now and loved the way you cooked it. I've brought some Cod to pan fry this week with some pesto ....watch this space lol
Love the comment about Mint Sauce, I'd have it on every roast dinner too. My 13 year old son tried it a few months ago and he's as hooked as me
Always have a jar on the go and one in the cupboard as can't stand the thought of being without it lol
Have a great day

hey fellow bear - just to let you know banana's are not superfree, just free! same as grapes! which is a shame cos i love them! but they dont speed up weight loss i am afraid and therefore are not super free!

Also - was your sweetcorn synned (as it needs to be on a red day its not free!!)

you are doing so well, but just wanted to help out - hope you dont think i am a moobag! xxx

 

[Care Bear xxx]

hello fellow bear - thanks for the advice!
I thought superfree was stuff you could have on both days? Have i got that wrong?
And I thought frozen sweetcorn was ok on red days? if i have got that wrong then im in trouble!!! haha
(luckily though, i didnt end up having sweetcorn as we didnt have any in!
I had nooooo idea that wasnt free on red, my c told me it was just the 3 p's (potatoes parsnips and peas!) oooo
Thanks for the heads up chicken!! xxx

 

[Care Bear xxx]

Thanks Allie, I knew about the PPP thing - but thought sweetcorn was ok too for some reason - silly sausage!!!!
At least i only have a spoonful, its not me fave veg but i have it to make myseflf feel like im eating more veg!
haha - I shall stick to what I know rather than trying to cram moe stuff in!!!
xxxx Thanks

 

[*EB*]

i dont understand all the rules, but as a lover of Red days, i know the sweetcorn isnt free

I think i got confused with superspeed and superfree!! but allie has explained it better than me lol!!!

keep going CB! xxxx
