Cathy - hope you feel better soon
5/22for me today and 5/22 breakfasts too:)
Breakfast was toast with honey. I even managed to eat it before I left the house!
Lunch was the last portion of rice, feta and bacon salad and a large apple. DH had 2 small JPs with an odd portion of sausage and bean casserole. He said he was stuffed after eating it:)
Snacks were grapes and a GF chocolate brownie.
Dinner will be veggie chilli, spicy wedges with cheese sprinkled on top. While it is cooking I will make egg mayo for me and tuna mayo for DH sarnies tomorrow. I will also keep aside a boiled egg for DH to have with his lunch tomorrow and I fancy some carrot sticks so will do us both some of them too. The crunch will stop us wanting crisps!Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%

Last month, i tried the 'FQ's Lunchsie Sausage Rolls' which were a massive hit, so this month i am going to try some new things again. I am going to have a look and see what i fancy trying 0 -
