Tue; Smokey lentil chilli tacos with Mexican rice, refried beans, salad, salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
Wed; Pan fried rib eye with double stuffed jackets and courgette & asparagus salad.

I've got HM yoghurt with oats and dried fruit to make over night
You're making your yoghurt overnight ? How ?
I have tried making yoghurt in the past but it was to watery.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

You're making your yoghurt overnight ? How ?
I have tried making yoghurt in the past but it was to watery.
You just mix milk powder with hot water then add a few tablespoons of left over live yoghurt.
I keep a few spoon fulls from the previous batch.
I do one part milk powder to 4 parts water for thin yoghurt and 3 parts milk powder to 4 parts water for thick more greek style.
It takes 8 hours on the bench. I make this during the day on a Sunday then before bed I weigh out 120g of it, add 40 grams of oats and 30g of dried fruit.
Then just grab a spoon and tuck in on the morning when I don't have much time.£36/£240
