No I'm not giving up RFD and I know it wasn't as bad as it could have been - just that I've had such a great week that I was angry with myself.

Back on plan today - breakfast as planned was salad, roasted aubergine, 2 slices of WM bread and techina; now I'm eating a lovely big bowl of frozen mixed berries, a couple of fresh figs and a pear with FF vanilla yoghurt - delish!

I have never tried figs - what are they like? They dont look great when they are dried:undecided

I just told a work colleague about the body fat & he said no way and thought it was a bit extreme as it means i'd be around 6 stone if i lost around half my body weight. I wonder what the body fat machine goes off then?

The dried ones are nothing like fresh ones - they are sweet and delicious - I took a picture of one for you but don't know how to upload it!

Do you have a photobucket account? or similar?

if not use this site -

http://tinypic.com/ - go here and upload pics from your computer by clicking "browse". Select resize to "message board" size. Submit, enter the annoying captcha words, wait for ages for it to upload, and then it will give you the URL to copy and paste onto a forum, the one surrounded by IMG tags < > I think. Paste the string of code it gives you in to a normal post on here

Hello all. Still going well here. I had a batch cook on Sunday which I always mean to do but never get round to, and I'm REALLY liking how much easier it's making my evenings. I made a meat ragu, a veg lasagne and a roasted veg couscous. The couscous has mostly gone in our packed lunches, we had veg lasag two nights running and tonight I've stuffed some peppers with the ragu.

SO my question is, what other recipes are good for batch cooking? ANyone got any failsafes that see them through the week?

Sounds great Sarah. Have you every bought and cooked boneless chicken thighs? I buy them a kilo at a time and then spend time cutting out all the fat (they are quite fatty). I then marinade them well in soya sauce, cumin, paprika, ginger, salt and black pepper and then cook them on a griddle pan. You can then serve them up with all kinds of vegetable stews or stir fries.

I also do a huge batch of vegetable stew and use this as a side vegetable and also the base for a frittata.

have fun
