I found out that you can have Parmesan cheese as a healthy extra A choice.
I didn't realise butternut squash was a free food on red days.
I've tried a new cereal off the HEB list this week too. Fruit and fibre and really liked it xxx

As I'm slightly ahead week wise I learnt this:
Fresh Coconut is not free, good job I rarely eat it!
I can stomach scan bran, I actually like it with a banana and a peppermint tea in the morning or dipped in soup.
Also, I made speed soup last tues and since then the weathers been too hot to enjoy it so I will be making it again!!!!

It's quite a firm, salty cheese, I think it's fair to say it's bendy, I'm not selling it I know, but honestly it is very nice.

Cottage cheese on the top is nice for the 2 I usualy have left over, I usually can only manage 3 in the morning!
I've been naughty on this challenge but had a serious chat with hubby last night and he too wants to lose 1/2 stone by our July hols so I am going to do the scan bran again this week (as its too hot for speed soup anyway) Luckily I work with my cons so she can bring some in for me as I won't be able to weigh on wed's, my babysitter's mother had a heart attack at the weekend love her.

The breakfast loaf sounds interesting, do you have the recipe?
MinkyDinky

Yup! got it saved on my phone and printed off to be ready to make!
Breakfast Loaf
Ingredients
5 Scan/Oat bran
2 slices of bacon (fat removed or 2 medallions)
1 small onion
2 Medium mushrooms
3 Eggs (separated)
1 Oxo cube (whatever flavour you like)
Extra seasoning (Smoked Paprika or something like that)
Recipe:
1.Prepare Scan/Oat bran as usual and put to one side (either by boiling water and mash or industrial strength blender and blitz!)
2.Dice the onion and fry in fry light until soft, then add to mashed bran (including any onion juices) mix gently.
3.Add oxo cube, extra spices and mix in.
4.Cut up mushrooms and bacon into small pieces and add to bran mix.
5.Mix the egg yolks into the mixture.
6.Beat the egg whites in a bowl until volume has increased then gently fold into the bran mixture.
7.Place mixture in chinese takeout plastic container (for microwave) and cook for 5 mins (800w oven), turn out and leave to cool for a few minutes (you can be cooking whatever else you are having with it!) then slice and serve!!
Note: This can be done in an oven, general rule of thumb is to cook for same amount of time as a basic cake but you will have to experiment. If sliced once cold it does hold together better.
