Cookie recipe here - I keep forgetting to put them on the recipe thread, sorry!

Almond Choc Chip Cookies | Low Carb Recipes

And just had a lush dinner - turkey curry burgers and sauteed cabbage. I got one of those fab hamburger press things (from the pound shop) and it made such a difference when forming the burgers!

Those cookies look real good! Have bookmarked the recipe for next week

Morning all

A tough night, mostly blocked - but I'm not giving in to the sinus spray, I'm sure it will start getting better soon. Google "addicted to nasal sprays" - amazing what awful stories people tell, it's as bad as alcohol or tobacco.

Speaking of which, on a Sunday if I'm at home, I would normally have about 8 ciggies. Yesterday, I had 3 - and just puffed on the vaper instead So am pleased with how it's going so far.

Also lost 2lbs, which I'm amazed at, but happy with Clean and green(ish) today -

B - left over turkey burger and cabbage
L - lamb chops and spinach
D - roast pork and broccoli bake (got some ricotta so will try it with that instead of cream cheese)

Have a nice day all - the sun is out at last!

I was one of those who got hooked on the spray. Its not that I got high on it or anything, its just that the nose seemed to block back up if I didn't keep spraying it. Ho hum. I rarely use them now. I bought a Neti Pot and really should use it more often, I believe its good for me but its got a very weird feeling when using it and I emerge with a cleansed nasal area and bloodshot eyes (Google Neti ) PS, a Neti Pot is useless, I think, if you already have a blocked nose because the fluid has nowhere to go to do any good.

Congratulations on your 2lbs loss! Brilliant.

Thanks! Bit of a surprise but who am I to fight it?

Just trying a variation on the broccoli bake - I sliced two courgettes lengthways and layered them in my lasagne dish, with Tesco Value pasta sauce and a sprinkling of grated mozzarella cheese in between - got two layers, and it should make four nice servings for 6g carbs each. Can get it much lower, a post from Jonsgirl reminded me of the Gia sun dried tomato puree, much lower in carbs at 0.5g per 100g (rough calculation would make it 2g carbs per serve). It's in the oven now so will take a pic when it's done.

Ah the dreaded blocked nose and sinus problems.. I have not suffered since I had a sinus washout years ago! It was agony, and a blocked nose is chinease torture. X I was told to just use a saline spray?? Well done on the 2lbs x and looking forward to pics of your food later x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Never found the saline sprays to be of much help, tbh, but thanks for the advice nonetheless

Right, here's the courgette bake - when I divided it into four, most of the pasta sauce got left behind, so reduces the carb intake somewhat



Taste? Well it is just courgettes baked in pasta sauce - but nice, the sauce adds a lovely herby flavour. Could do with more cheese, maybe?

Well done on the two pounds off.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Moaning all - barely awake here, got about three hours (partly blocked sinuses and dry mouth, partly from having a two hour nap in the afternoon oops), and my boss has just rung to ask if I'm coming to the team meeting (we work out of two different sites). He had told me but old Brain Dead Susie forgot duh...

B - bacon and cheese muffins, soya latte
L - chicken salad
D - stir fried turkey pieces in coconut oil and curry, plus wilted spinach - wasn't very clean and green over the weekend!

Have a good one.

The pics look so tasty x I always hate the first day back at work after a long weekend! Don't envy you x but also fingers crossed I am joining the full timers soon x

 

[CornishTT]

Well done on two pound off!! *clap* Courgette bake looks good, thanks for sharing! And thanks for the cookie recipe!

Sorry to hear blocked nose still, hopefully go away soon. Did you ever get some albas oil? Miracle stuff, I swear by it.

Get better soon, big hugs x

 

[kellmo]

Oh but you're on holiday hun, so don't worry, next week will be better xxx

What do you do for a living?

PR, Kell, for a music and dance school. Love it, the best job I've ever had

Hello all

WFH today, while I wait for a plumber to come and fix the blocked up shower. I tried putting stuff down it but it won't shift whatever's causing the blockage, so time for the professionals!

B - missed it, too busy sorting stuff out
L - bacon and cheese muffins
D - chicken and something green

Have a good day!

 

[kellmo]

Your job sounds ace - as does WFH.

Although I notice you're commenting on posts V quick!! ;-)

 

[ladyfelsham]

I notice you're commenting on posts V quick!! ;-)

LOL caught out - ah yes well a girl's got to take the occasional break from all this hefty concentration

At least Jack the plumber is here and sorting out the problem, yaye, there's nothing quite so desperate as a woman without a working shower!

 

[kellmo]

Hell yeah! Oh the relief when you can shave your legs in a minute!
