lisa26_2

Hi ladies, we're having a nice relaxing Saturday here. we might go for a walk soon but it keeps raining!!!! We had a lovely meal at the restaurant last night plus a couple of drinkie poos! Back on plan today. I'm having a green day:

Brekkie - banana
lunch - jacket potato, beans, cheese (HEAx1.5)
Tea - chilli (HEB for mince), rice, HM salsa
I might have a fibre plus bar as my other HEB when we're watching a film later. I'll probably not have any syns as I don't need them today and it'll go towards making up for last night.

I've just had this for lunch from the link that Consultant kindly provided to the thread for weight loss receipes. I didn't have any Mexican oxo so used chilli powder and worcester sauce and left the pasta out as I didn't fancy it. As I'm on a green day I cooked the bacon separately; weighed it and used it as my Healthy Extra. I didn't liquidise it and it was so yummy and very filling and comforting in this cold weather!

Mexican Soup

Ingredients

1 onion, chopped
mushrooms, chopped
2 rashers of lean bacon, chopped (count as syns/HEb on a green day)
Frylight
1 Mexican flavour Oxo cube
1 400g can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 400g can baked beans
1 400g can chopped tomatoes
1 red pepper, chopped
A handful or two of pasta (count as syns/HEb on a red day)


Method:

1. Gently fry the onion, mushrooms and chopped bacon using Fry Light until they are softened and the bacon starts to brown.
2. Place all the ingredients, except the pasta into a deep saucepan or casserole pot, along with the stock cube. Top the pan up with water.
3. Simmer for 20 minutes then add the pasta and simmer for a further 5-10 minutes.

There is no longer a password, Sasha, due to people who didn't pay out getting access to the members' area of the website (no offence!). Now each member is given a single-use PIN, once that PIN is entered the member uses their own username and password to enter the site.

Dizzy, you (and your OH with his wisecracks) really make me laugh - I'd love to spot you in Asda shopping! Sainos had asparagus (not UK grown) bogof the other day so I think I'll finish up the tips with a treaty 10g of butter for part of my supper, and use the tougher bits for some asparagus and leek soup tomorrow, mmmmm. Then I must look at World of Favours and decide what to make for next week's lunches.

Quick bit of advice needed please

After sipping diet coke while i watched hubbie adn kids eat mac donalds i went to spud u like, and had a poatto with cottage cheese and chives:A (without butter of course), so i am guessing this wasn't virtually fat free, but i can only find either virtually fat free or low fat cottage cheese on syns online. So my question is is all cottage cheese low fat?
I can't find spud u like on syns on line either

Well done Vicki for sticking to your guns with the Plan - that takes some doing!:T

I know what you mean. I'm not a great fan of McDonald's but Mc Flurry's are a different matter!:rotfl::rotfl:
