Tuesday 2nd August

Breakfast:
porridge made with milk (hexB and hexA),
banana and grapes

Lunch:
spicy cauliflower and butterbean soup (0.5 syn)
apple

Dinner:
spicy stew made with quorn sausages, passata, onion, courgette, pepper, mushrooms, sweetcorn, mixed beans, baked beans, cajun spices, wholewheat pasta and plastic cheese (hexA)

This is the 5th time in 8 days that my son has dragged me to the swimming I feel really bendy this week because of it, but my hair is like straw!

Not really enough syns today, but my meals were very filling. Didn't want to eat syns for the sake of it.

Are those Cauldron ones frozen or fridgey??

Fridgey.

They are very herby and juicy and you can throw them in the oven with roasting veg. Don't think that works with quorn ones.

 

[craftylucyloo]

Ta chick. I will look out for them tomorrow when I venture out. x

 

[gwennypenny]

I've always meant to try those Cauldron sausages. Might give them a go

First thing 2 mrw I will be knocking on farm foods door lol what about the burgers are they free too old style?

 

[cheekychinchilla]

Sorry to read about your gain Sausage Scales can be bloody cruel some times!! I can't imagine you managed to put on 3lbs in a week tho. Hopefully next week will show a nice loss

 

[silly sausage]

Thanks Cheekychinchilla - It must have been partly water or something as it is almost all gone already. I am hoping for a good loss this week as I want my 4 stone sticky back soon

Niki - The quorn burgers are half a syn each. I don't think they have changed (frozen 4 in a box, brown burgers without crumb). I love them as they are microwavable so you can make a cheeseburger in less that 2 minutes! lol Our Farmfoods is doing a deal - box of 6 sausages and/or box of 4 burgers - 2 boxes for £2.50.

The chickpea dahl loaf recipe was gifted to me by Blue Smartie on page 7, post #94 of this thread.

I changed it a bit on page 8, post #109. I put fennel seeds in my version so every now and again you get a hint of pernod

 

[Beegee]

Ooh Sausage, your spicy stew looks fantastic - that's right up my street. Diaries are looking great as usual!

 

[hannah28]

Ooh thank you Sausage!! I'm going to make this tomorrow! Do you think I could use the Ainsley Harriott Chickpea Dahl as that is free

[silly sausage]

I am not familiar with Ainsley's dahl. Sure it will be fine though - Smartie's recipe is not an exact science lol

I had it cold for lunch and hot for dinner today.

[blue*smartie]

Could I pretty please have the recipe/quantities for the spicy stew on #145. Thanking you very muchly

Ps I cant cook so some idiot proof directions would be good lol

Ooh thank you Sausage!! I'm going to make this tomorrow! Do you think I could use the Ainsley Harriott Chickpea Dahl as that is free

Just to pick up on this one without diary-crashing too much ... if you mean the lentil dahl that comes in a packet it's quite a different texture, not so stodgy and 'solid' for want of a better word. Maybe be a bit cautious when you add the water and don't make it too liquidy. Otherwise it will probably be fine.

 

[craftylucyloo]

Must try the lentil Dahl loaf!!!
