Let's have the story.

The short version:

I'm rubbish at portion control. I blame my mother as she always fills the plate too full and there's at least 2 dinners on your plate. (Could also be the reason I'm no size zero either!):rotfl:

Anyway, I put all the ingredients into the SC, and then added the packet of sausages I'd defrosted the night before. Only they were little mini sausages and there weren't enough compared to the rest of the ingredients. So I got 5 portions of sausage casserole & 1 sausage-less version.

It's OK though, there's plenty veg to bulk it out and I won't go hungry.

Dinner - Veggie haggis, mash and broccoli

Breakfast round here is either porridge with maple syrup or toast with almond butter.

In case anyone is curious, I'm vegan just because I prefer to be and find this diet gives me more energy. Anything that looks like it contains milk or eggs, doesn't - I'm just good at substituting. We tend to make our bread ourselves just because we love the smell of it in the oven, not because it's 'special bread' or anything!

This will be my first week working as self-employed at home. I'm going to be looking at my old cookery books so future weeks might well be more adventurous...
