Hello sveetheart :D

Mother Bear is doing well thanks she's lost a dress size and a bit which is great as considering she's on a high dose of steroids for sarcoidosis and they said she'll struggle with her weight. I do have to monitor her as she doesn't eat as much fruit as she should.

I've not done well super free wise today I only had a bit of salad with my dinner and forced myself to chop up a pear to have with my ice cream. I think it's the weather and I'm feeling stressy at the moment think I might get the doctor to check my thyroid levels as I'm usually due a dosage adjustment when I'm like this. I'm feeling anxious & my whole body aches like you get when you have REALLY bad flu and I just want to sleep but I can't and keep waking up. It's so annoying as I wake up at 5am every morning to make sure everything is done before work and cook when I get in. Think I'll cut up some melon and have it for breakfast tomorrow and get some prepared pineapple & grapes to munch on as I work tomorrow. I was having a mango craving but not the tasteless alien one's from the supermarkets I'm talking the juicy juicy pakistani mangoes they sell in the summer....they're lusly! xx

Hi Shell1811,

I tend to cook all of my food from scratch as I find the spices in packet mixes don't agree with me. I use the following recipe which seems to work quite well for me:

Vegetable Biriyani

Serves 4

0 syns on Extra Easy & Green


Ingredients
275g basmati rice
Frylight
1 large onion, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Thumb-size piece of fresh ginger, grated
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp mild chilli powder
1 tsp ground coriander
500g mixed vegetables, prepared and cut into small pieces (we used cauliflower, red pepper, green beans and mushrooms)
6 cardamom pods, cracked
6 cloves
Small handful fresh coriander, to garnish
Method
1. Rinse and soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat the frylight in a wide, deep flameproof and non-stick casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes. Add the garlic, fresh ginger and ground spices and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in the vegetables and 150ml water, cover and cook gently for 3-4 minutes. Season with plenty of freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 150°C/fan130°C/gas 2. Drain the rice. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the rice and whole spices and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and gently fold into the onion and vegetable mixture in the casserole – don’t overmix as you want some rice to stay white and some to be streaked with turmeric.
4. Place the casserole back over a high heat, cover and cook for 1 minute to build up steam. Transfer to the oven for 15 minutes, until the rice and vegetables are tender.

Hope you enjoy it xx

Just had my first Skinny cow caramel shortcake ice cream and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a sickly fake caramel taste but it's lovely. I may try it over banana next time....xx
