It is quite yummy yes 
BUT i think the real pull is the texture. It feels like it should be naughty.
And it's filling enough to split into breakfast and pudding at tea time!!
I have used muller lights to do it but often use fat free natural yogurt with some nutmeg, cinnamon and a bit of sweetener... mmm!!
I'm off sson to do my last mini shop before payday... so i have about £7 to spend
Once tea (cottage pie) is int oven I will take my little terror out for a quick walk round the houses.
Can't wait for weekend... we are buying her a little coat from a lovely independent pet shop near us (she shivers when we go out and I'm too soft!!! Told the OH she just has to have a coat lol) and then we are going to one of the reservoirs near us for a long walk and a bit of off leading and fetch (away from the water tho ha!)
It was so funny when we went for a coat... Taylor had been sick in the car that morning so he wouldn't let her in it again when we went to the pet shop for a jacket. It wasn't until we got there that it dawned on him that she really did need to be there to try it on

So... Did my mini shop and got spinach (of course), tomatoes, passata, eggs and extra light mayo. Oh and southern fried chicken for the OH xx
Made cottage pie with toms, leeks, beans, bovril, quorn mince and tons of onions!! Yum, forgot my spinach though so had to make amends with an apple afterwards; lots of the pie was SF luckily. Served it with a heA choice of cheese grated over the top (funny I didn't forget that huh?)
Snacks were 7 chocolate buttons (1 syn) and a choc ice (5 syns)
Altogether an ok day foodwise
Got a nice surprise when my OH drove towards me while I was walking home to give me a lift; he wasn't starting work til 6pm which was nice!! Of course I missed a bit of exercise but I will take it on the chin lol
Up early this morning so quick breakfast of mini choc weetabix with milk and a tangerine xx
xxx Valentines flowers were lovely btw xxx
Got an hour til the alarm goes off so back to bed for me xx

So... today as it stands..
Breakfast:
Mini Choc Weetabix: heB
with Milk: heA
Lunch:
Stag Veg Chili: 2.5 Syns
Spinach: SF
Peas: FREE
Pasta: FREE
Plus 45 minute walk to work and a bit of valentines day exercise :lilkiss: xx
Had a sneeky peak on the scales and regardless of the actual numbers there is a small downward trend so hoping I can keep that up until Thurdsay
I have been researching some Red Day menus for myself for next week and have managed to find 2 full days that will work for me; once i have a minimum of 3 days I will be sure to fit these into next weeks menu.
Struggling with green but I am more of a meat/fish person tbh. Only need a small jacket spud and loads of veg to make a meal with these

Yes I did
Mmmm... just threw in the chicken, peppers and onions until it went thick and sticky. I popped some vermicelli noodles in when it started to reduce and added Chinese 5 spice (like you do with the diet coke one) and a splash of worcester sauce and it was yummy!!.. Oh, served with spinach too
Got leftover diet fanta noodles/veg for lunch today with a tuna steak i seared quickly before work today... just makes a nice change to be able to have sweet sauces sometimes.
All in all I have had a good week. Food has been within my limitations; exercise could have been better but still walked for around 5 hours in total
Let's see what 17:30 brings??xx

Mmmmmm... Spinach Cannelloni was delicious. Even the OH loved it (although I did put some crispy bacon on top of his to yum it up a bit more!)
I made it (the filling) with quark, nutmeg and spinach and was surprised at how well it turned out!!
Did my BIG SHOP friday night and am very impressed with the contents of my fridge, freezer and cupboards.
The addition of Cadburys Philly to my fridge is one of my favourites. I couldn't resist the 4 syns; great with strawberries
So after starting off with EE in January I thought it was time to try Red and/or Green to shake things up a little (after my 14 Syns worth of Chicken Chow Mein on Friday night, and my first attempt at rice pudding with some fruit)
Here's my version of Red (Saturday):
Breakfast
2 Boiled eggs = FREE
and Soldiers (2 Nimble) = heB
Marg = 2 Syns
Tea
Red Thai Curry (homemade) = 4 Syns
(Chicken/Nam Pla/Sweetener/Fat Free Yogurt/Quark/Lemongrass?/Kaffir Lime=FREE; Onions/Peppers/Tomatoes/Chillis/Lime/=SF; 3 tablespoons Coconut Milk=4.5 Syns)
With Stir Fry Veg/Beansprouts = FREE
and Soya Beans = 3.5 Syns
Snacks
Maltesers Choc Bunny = 3 Syns
Magic Pancakes = heB
Strawberries = SF
Milk for brews = heA
I think this was all within the limitations of RED
Also walked the dog round some local countryside for an hour or so
And my version of GREEN (Sunday)
Breakfast
2 Toast = heB
2 Lean BAcon (90g) = heB
Tomatoes = SF
Beans = FREE
2 Poached Eggs = FREE
Tea
Spinach Cannelloni (homemade) = 2 Syns
(Cannelloni/Quark/nutmeg= FREE; Garlic/Tomatoes/Passata = SF; Parmesan = 6 Syns)
Snacks
Cadburys Philly = 4 Syns
Strawberries = SF
Pudding!!!
Rice Pudding (homemade)
(Pudding Rice/Sweetener/Nutmeg = FREE; Milk = heA)
Comments at end of day were... ' Feel so sick; no more green days ever!!!'
Doesn't help that I ate ALL of the rice pudding!!
So today (Monday) is a red day!!
