B. muller light yog and 30g muesli. Orange
S. orange
L. Leftover SW fish pie, broccoli, carrots
S. muller light Greek yog. Orange.
D. Grilled skinless turkey breast, SW wedgies, broccoli, carrots, courgettes.

My local supermarket had loads of reduced broccoli 30p a kilo. I love broccoli, any ideas as to what I can do with it, as it needs to be used sooner rather than later. I didn't know whether to put some in the Speed Soup.

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/9276/beef-and-broccoli-stirfry just swap the oil for frylight. Syn free!

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/764645/spicy-mushroom-and-broccoli-noodles Swap oil for frylight use the cashews for your HEB or 7.5 syns, 3syns for hoisin sauce - recipe is for 2 so just over 5 syns each if you dont use your heb.

Broccoli soup -
I large head of broccoli around 300g
large potato peeled and cubed
large onion chopped
1litre of veg stock

Start too cook onion off in frylight, after it starts to soften add the potato and stock leave to cook for approx 10 mins or until pots softened.Add broccoli for 3-4 mins and blitz. Season to taste.

I too love it!!! I have never had broccoli in soup, i would think it would go mushy? I would do a broccoli/chicken/cheese pasta bake??/stirfry/quiche

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well :hello:

RFD - It is horrible to know you have stuck to plan & not had a loss, *week for me last week (well saturday) but I am hoping that doesnt' affect this weeks WI for me or I will be mega cheesed off. I do suffer from constipation so am back on the drinks again to see if it will help

L - Dyno Rod Soup, Melon, pineapple, satsuma
D - Pasta Bolognese bake (a), broccoli, strawberries, pineapple
S - Toffee Muller, Banana
B - 2 x alpen lights

banjo~you could make a broccoli soup & then blitz it.
Also someone suggested a broccoli cheese which I have made and tis very nice.
Pasta with brocolli and a tomoato sauce is also good.

broccoli and potato soup is lush... bit of hex a cheese in or a dollop of ex light philly.. yum!

could use a bit of natural yoghurt or quark to make it a bit creamier and keep it free

This is how i have been feeling since xmas. In total i have lost a whopping 1lb the other 2 weeks have been STS. Not due to weigh till this thursday. I have been really disheartened and like you mentioned felt like crying because nothing is shifting so fingers crossed thrashing out on the free step for 45mins on the Wii every morning this week will help. Have you been filling in food diaries?
This is one thing i have done since xmas aswell as posting on here daily and consultant can only tell me to do SE which im rather loathe to do as following the plans as they are should be enough to see a loss even not a great one a week i would be happy with 0.5lb a week!!:(
Have you lost in inches at all?

Broccoli roasted in the oven is good too, the edges go a bit crispy. Never done it with spray light though, always used olive oil but should work ok, and sprinkle with a bit of low low cheese, even my teenagers like it done that way.
