Ladies, try a bay leaf in with your cod and milk. Gives it a lovely flavour. Poach for just a few minutes until the fish starts to flake. Thicken with a little arrowroot to make a light sauce.
You are all doing so fab on refeed/maintenance.

Thanks I love bay leaves. Where do you buy arrowroot what is it???

Sarahlou Hope your refeed is still going well and your enjoying your food.

Arrowroot is similar to cornflour but does not have any floury taste. So, it thickens sauces but does not affect the taste. It is often used to thicken clear sauces as well. You will get it in the same aisle with the baking products.

Well done Sarah. You seem totally in control yet not over analysing yourself. Things seem to be in a nice normal routine for you. Hope it keeps up like this for the holidays.

Hi Molly,

yes you know it's amazing how normal it feels after so long off food. and yet i am still craving nothing other than "the good stuff"! hope it does keep up for the holidays - although if disaster were to strike, at least i know i'm disciplined enough to fix it now! xxx
