Huge fan of feta anyway but the saltiness combined with the zing of lemon, mellow garlic and fresh bed of spinach... Mm mm good!
 
I'm pretty sure you have to syn them hun, unless they've changed the HexB list recently :) I wish we could have muffins as a hex :sigh: xx

I thought so but my flat mate is convinced you can have them as a HEb. This is the downside to doing it off your own back! xx
 
Oh my god I want your tea! When you have time could you tell me how to make it please?? What does spinach taste of? Lol xx
I'll chuck the recipe on in a bit when I'm at work Hun, easier to type it out. Hmmm spinach...it's got a mineral-y taste to it. Can tell it's packed with iron! But it's lovely xx

yeah I just checked and no sign of 'em. There's ciabattas, petit pains, mini subs but no muffins! Probably because they are 7.5 syns and most HexB are 5 or 6. Xx

It was lovely! I have half a big pot left at work which I'll have a mug of today if I get hungry and then some tomorrow for lunch. It was only the inner leaves I used, it was like a really small cabbage and the asparagus was only the stalks that I'd trimmed off. Still, I've not been again since Wednesday :( xx
 
Happy Fridaaaay! :D xx
 
Mrstore the triplet finally came woo! So hopefully I'm back to normal now ;)

Sian I'd gladly cook for you :D I've got enough tagine for 4 portions so it's probably going in the freezer as the boy doesn't like apricots - Weirdo.

Happy Friday em n Jo! Have a fab day all! Xxxx
 
Morning Minks, still no triplet showing it's little head??? :-D I'm pooping for both of us I think at the minute!!! Xx
Recipe for you hun!
Ok so I took the recipe from a fantastic blog here : Zucchini and Lemon Spaghetti Recipe and tweaked the oil and cheese measurements to suit SW.

Ingredients
7 oz. dried spaghetti
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil (2 x HexB = 1 per portion)
2 medium courgette, thinly sliced lengthwise
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp. fresh sage, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese 1.5 syns per portion
90g feta cheese, crumbled (2 x HexA = 1 per portion)
zest of 1/2 lemon
sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
1.First cook the spaghetti (check the package for specific instructions) by bringing a large saucepan of water to a boil, adding a couple of large pinches of sea salt and then the spaghetti; it should take about 8-10 minutes to cook. Stir every so often so the strands of pasta don't stick together. When the pasta is just cooked (al dente), drain it in a colander, drizzle with a little olive oil and then mix to lightly coat the pasta and prevent the strands from sticking together. Set it aside.
2.You can use the same saucepan to make the sauce. Pour in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat, then add the zucchini and sauté for 4-5 minutes, before adding the garlic and herbs and mixing well. Sauté for a couple more minutes, to allow all the flavors to come together and the zucchini to cook through.
3.Return the cooked spaghetti to the pan and heat through, then mix in the cheese and lemon zest, and season with a little sea salt (you may not need much since the feta cheese is salty) and a good grind of black pepper. Serve, with a little more grated cheese sprinkled over, if you wish.
 
Been wondering if you tried the yoga at all? I haven't been able to get online much so sorry if have missed a post on it. I am aching like an achy thing today from my classes this week x

I haven't been able to get to one yet as they have been fully booked :( Hopefully I will be up early enough this sunday to call up and book the following week. I see you have internet problems :( hope it gets sorted soon lovely xx
