Its funny before finding the lovely Erm I never used to eat half the things I eat now I read her food diary and see the piccies and I've tried so many new foods. Okay I sometimes adapt them slightly but some fab ideas. Anyone else find they tell their kids to try foods as they can't say they don't like them if they don't try them and then stop and think mmmmm I don't always do that :8855:
I may give EE another go, or definatly have more EE days as there are so many ideas I want to try lol

YOu can put what you like under it a veggie stew, steak stew, mince onion mushrooms peas oxo .. I do the mince, onion, mushrooms, peas, oxo
here you go in haste copy and pasted it from yesterday
One of the lovely ladies on here came up with the beef cobbler recipe, Michelle, so not sure if it ever got put in the recipe section but we've had it three times and love it
Beef cobbler
for the beef bit
packet of extra lean minced beef
2 oxo cubes
onions
mushrooms
garden peas
brown mince, drain any fat, add onions, mushrooms, peas, make oxo into gravy and add
Cobbler mix
1 pk smash
1 tub syn free cottage cheese
3 eggs
salt pepper
enough water only a splash to form this mix into scones
put beef mixture in an oven proof dish, top with scones and take for around 25 mins until golden brown
IF you want real comfort food add 28g of grated cheddar to the scone mix. Absolutely makes them and as I got 12 flat scones out of my mix thats only 1/2 syn a scone
Erms was an amazing veggie one its very adaptable but the above is the basics and you can tweak to suit your tastes

Im having a bad day. I was starving at 6 so had my tea early, then for some reason just had this sweetness craving. I dont really do sweetness normally. I knew there were some ladoos in the box so I thought Oh Ill just have one, but Im telling myself No cos I know I won't stop at one Didn't bloddy stop myself so now I've pigged out on half a box of ladoos :sigh: And the scales have been whinging the last 2 days that Ive put on some stupid amount that isnt physically possible. Barstewards Im even starting to wonder if theyve had it, after they came up with a couple of miracle weight losses recently. But hey, as long as its going in the down direction overall Which it wont be if I eat laddoes all day :sigh: About 50 syns for 10 ladoos!!! Sheesh :cry:

Awww Erm :bighug: its done, you've eaten them, move on sweetie. Its horrible when we crave sweetness. I had that Monday/Tuesday last week it was awful I was like a woman possessed and ate and ate sweet stuff until felt sick. I did link mine to having too much sweetner/diet drinks? Affects some like this apparently.
I am now going to google ladoos as never seen them.

Ermie no matter what you do, don't beat yourself up about it as the negative thoughts could very easily spiral into deafeatist behaviour (AKA sod it, I'll just have 2 pizzas!) You've eaten the ladoos (?) now, the BEST thing to do is just carry on with SW from tomorrow. I had to give myself a stern talking to so that my Fish & Chips episode didn't turn into a disaster. I find that a good way to snap me out of the guilt and anxiety is to plan some SW meals then I get excited all over again about all the nom food I can have.
Good to see you back.
