    I accidentally on purpose fell face first into a packet of biscuits today at work and by the time I escaped their clutches I found that five of the blighters had already made their way in to my belly. As such, tea was just a bowl of fresh pineapple to try and assuage my guilt for being a right proper piglet.

    Having almost run out of minimal cooking things to eat for dinners I called at SM on my way past this evening and brought home lightly dusted Haddock fillets and a GF pizza. The Haddock has been consumed with green beans, broccoli and carrots and the pizza will be for tomorrow or Wednesday:D

    Does anyone have a recipe for a small sized cheesecake, just OH and me and all the recipes I find are for very large ones which would be too many portions for us and too expensive for the everyday budget, also I have never made one before and would hate to mess up and waste a lot of expensive ingredients:(

    Cheats cheesecake is the answer Maddie, a digestive biscuit spread with light soft cheese and topped with whatever fruit you like and dusted with the sweetener of your choice makes a very nice and easy cheesecake substitute. I usually make us 2 each for a pudding and they taste every bit as good as proper cheesecake without all the calories. I use the low fat digestives for ours.

    Meals are going to be a little random from now on as we're running down the freezers and stores prior to moving so lunch today won't be the soup I was going to make yesterday but will be a packet of pasta in sauce with some salad. Supper this evening will be something from the freezer as yet unknown and lots of steamed veg then a bowl of blackberries and yoghurt from the garden.

    Freezer has been sorted and we shall be having quorn sausages for supper tonight.
