I brought my rhubarb in tesco! I chopped both ends off, (the leaves r toxic) washed it and chopped it into chunks, chopped my apple (need to peal the apple, which I forgot to do) put in a dish sprinkled the sweetener on top and put in the oven at 200 c was in there for 30mins! Internet said 30-40 mins but mine was really soft and was falling apart! If it's not sweet enough just add some more sweetener after cooking!

Marinade for chicken kebabs
pound up some mint and coriander leaves with some salt and a little garlic (if the kids are ok with that) then stir in some 0% fat greek yogurt (a 150g tub is only 2 PP and you would probably need half of that so per portion I reckon it would count as 0PP). Plenty of herbs is the key to this one. I make it with green chilli usually but would still be quite tasty without. Another idea would be using some of the oil from your SF allowance and mixing with grated lemon zest, finelly chopped rosemary and garlic. Hope on of those might be some use.

0pp soup
For the BNS one I would frylight (or equivalent) one chopped onion with the chopped stalks from a bunch of coriander and a thumb of grated ginger for 5 minutes or so until softened. Add one peeled and chopped butternut squash with 60g of tesco thai red curry paste (its O points for 15g so if the soup serves 4 I think this still counts as 0 points per portion). Add 2 tsp veg stock powder, or one cube, water to just cover the BNS and simmer for about half an hour. Blend and serve with chopped coriander. If you like it hotter a chopped chilli added with the ginger would be lovely and if you can get hold of some kaffir lime leaves adding a couple of these while cooking and removing befor blending would add a lovely flavour.

Food looking very good Sarah, and some of those recipes look strangely familar 
Its really interesting what you said about being surprised about being able to stick to your daily PP this week - you've certainly done really well since your day off. It seems that you balance your food choices really well to me, having some "proper" and hearty food each day but also adding a treat into your PPs allowance, maybe thats why its easier to stick to than you thought. I think its probably all about having the right mindset for it - maybe this proves that you really did need the day off to stay focussed.
Also only 16 degrees the other day in Cornwall?? Wow, its been 26 degrees for the last few days and I am gradually melting. I would quite happily swap climates with you!
