Daiquiria's Diary- Green Days

[riahummingbird]

Thursday 4th July- back on plan

Breakfast- sw rice pudding with activia 0% blueberry yogurt and lots of cherries.

Lunch- ff supernoodles, onions peppers mushrooms and quorn pieces

Might make scan bran pizzas and salad for dinner it depends on how I feel later.

Trying to do the scan bran challenge (5x5) to boost my losses so will see how that goes. I actually love scan bran, ryvitta etc. so it should be fine. And I will try the ferrero rocher at some point too as they sound yum!

Update- evening

Baking in the afternoon with the kids and made the scan bran ferrero rocher. Tasted as nice as i remembered but mixture was a little bit too wet. 2 choc buttons 1 syn.

Coffee and choc coin out shopping 5 syns but didnt even get to eat it all!
had scan bran nachos 5x sc heb, 5x tblp of salsa 2.5 syns, hea of cheese, jalapenos. Very tasty. Had this with bean salad 1.5 syns and cherry toms.

I know I never learn! I can be good for a while and then I just think sod it, let's have a drink and all resolve goes out the window!

San bran nachos are similar to scan bran pizzas but I just topped them with salsa fom a jar (1/2 syn per tblsp), my hea of cheese and jalapenos and grilled them. Very tasty. I love proper nachoes but they are a bit fiddly so these are great as you can pick up one big one at a time. You could sub the scan bran for ryvitta or similar. Be lovely with a low syn beer.

We're having a family b-bq tonight and all bringing something so I have been making a few low syn/free things to take with me. My mum is trying to get my dad interested in sw (2 of my brothers and I do it) so this will give him a little taster and mean I have plenty to snack on too!

I made: burgers (non-veggie), spicy meatballs for skewers, pasta salad, potato salad, 1/2 veggie burgers for me, quorn sausage, vegetable skewers, veg and quorn meatball skewers. I also got DH to get some of thos m&s mini wm subs so I can have a few of those rather than blow all my syns/heb on one bap.

If only alcohol was syn free too lol.

But I have made sw iced tea so looking forward to that, really refreshing.
