Your food this week sounds UNREAL!! Right up my street! Keen as a bean to see how this lemon chicken is... will you get snaps and pinch the recipe?! I LOVE lemon chicken but never thought of doing it in the slowcooker...

Hope you're ok and hospital appointments goes well Jessy xxx

Hospital appointment this morning and then eats are planned as followed:

B: Banana, Protein shake
L: Chicken and chorizo salad (Mixed leaves, rocket, mushrooms, cucumber, tomato, beetroot, cheese, chicken and chorizo)
S: Strawberries, Raspberries, Orange, Nuts, Raisins, Nakd bar - always reads as a lot but I usually manage it all no problem
D: James' mum is cooking a lemon chicken dish in the slow cooker knowing Dianne it will be light and healthy!
S: If I really need a snack I'll have a small slice of chocolate soreen (4 syns)

Planned some meals for the rest of the week too! We are going to do a whole wheat tomato chickpea pasta bake for lunches, Fish pie for tomorrow night, and Mexican Chicken for Thursday night (thanks Lil). I'm out Friday night and will choose carefully but James is cooking himself a healthy chilli.

Is it the weekend yet?! Have a good day ladies xxxx

Mm sounds like some lovely food for today and the rest of the week. Sadly it's not the weekend yet. And mm chocolate soreen sounds interesting xx

I think it's new! James discovered it in morrisons! Yeah sort of it's worth a try

Oh my goodness the lemon chicken was delicious. Basically it was chicken thighs and drumsticks, 2 lemons quartered, 1 large garlic halved, lemon juice, rapeseed oil, a bit of golden syrup. Put it all in a big tray and marinade for as long as possible. Then cook for approx 35 mins at 200 although Dianne put it in a few hours. I think trial and error with the lemon and the syrup so you get how sweet or sour you want it. But wow it was amazing! I think you could probs do it for 3 syns per portion.

We had it with sweet potato wedges, and roasted butternut squash carrots red onion and baby corn!

You are so super great! Such a gym bunny! I can't imagine having the energy after working all day! Curves in 30 mins is enough for me! Sounds like a very productive evening ahead for you! Very exciting about engagement invites! Did you buy them or get personalised ones? xx

The lemon chicken sounds lovely - and I don't even like sweet 'n sour stuff! I think I'll try it without the syrup - anything for the slow cooker is good. How brilliant of Dianne to do SW friendly veg too.

(I didn't understand the last bit of your post!!!!! But it looks like something I'm familiar with!)

You are a regular gym bunny - you'll look so petite and toned at your wedding.

I enjoy it I went off it for a few weeks but now I am on it again I need to start going more as only go 2 times a week usually, want to up it to minimum 3 like this week but ideally 4

Well we messaged everyone saying when it was but i'm going to design an invitation (tracing some letters and drawing a few hearts etc) pdf it at work and then email it to everyone except family who don't have email! Hopefully it will look nice, and super cheap to do

Dianne actually ended up doing it not in the slow cooker but did it for 2 hours in oven, but I think it would work well in the slow cooker. Yeah she is watching what she eats too so it is ultra helpful!

(Haha!!)

I want to be I need to up my game though xxxx

 

[NotsofattyPatty]

Up your game???!!!!! You'll be competing in the next Olympics at this rate!

Gym was a good work out! Realised I can't go tomorrow as got piano lesson so did 45 mins in gym after class.

Cooked a lovely fish pie tonight: mixed fish, fat free fromaige frais, fat free natural yoghurt, lemon, boiled eggs, seasoning, spring onion, sweet potato topping. Was delicious. Served with mixed veg.

Also prepped Lil's Mexican chicken for slow cooker tomorrow, and a yummy tuna bake for lunches (about 8 portions!!!!)

Knackered. Cup of tea and piano homework time for me xxxx.

 

[gingaling]

Oh and slow cooked lemon chicken sounds utterly divine!! Go Dianne!! Xxx

I started learning about a year ago! I've always said I wanted to learn so I could teach my children so James encouraged me to go for it I'm okay but don't practice enough! I used to play the trumpet and I sing but again don't practice them enough anymore!

It was delicious xxxx
