    Well done PIB that's brilliant! 

    Well done to Maman for resisting the profiteroles!

    How are you getting on so far, Beanie and Sary?

    Today:
    B - Muller Light (0.5), granola, banana, apple
    D - Tray bake: quinoa, bulgur wheat, sweet potato, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes
    T - Butternut squash and mushroom baked gnocchi
    HEA - Milk in coffees
    HEB - Granola
    Syns - Sugar in coffees (4), yogurt (0.5), hot chocolate (2) = 6.5

    I'm trying to work out why I have three aubergines in the fridge - I obviously had something in mind when I bought them but I didn't write it down and can't for the life of me remember!  :s

    You're doing really well with the Vegetarian Lent tete. It seems to have given you an extra focus to do your menus. I love aubergines so I'm sure you'll find interesting way to use them up. Roast vegetables stirred into pasta make a nice meal, hot or cold. :) 
    Back on plan today. I'm trying to be as good as I can for the next week to offset my short holiday next week. Hotel breakfasts will be fine but beyond that I'm not sure.

    Today's EE plan-
    B- NAs grapefruit, skinny syrup, half banana (F), HEB porage with HEA milk

    L-ham (P), fried veg and pickles (S)

    D- sausages, mash (F), onions, cauli, broccoli, cabbage, kale (S)
    Syns- sausages 1, gravy 2?

    I've planned my menus so well (so far) that I've not even noticed I'm not having meat. I'm sure if I have a flick through my roasting tin book the reason for the mystery aubergines will come to me :grin: Roast veg and pasta will be a nice easy packed lunch option though, I'll do that next week.

    Are you off anywhere nice for hols?

    Glad to see beanie and sary back on board!  :). Beanie, hope your group will be supportive and sary, hopefully you and your colleague can spur each other on *thumbs up*.

    Denise hope you have a fab time in France. The baguettes and brie would get the better of me  :p .

    Bubbs fab to see you are home and back to posting pix of your food for us to drool over  ;) .

    Reporting in with a STS this week after WI, sooooo frustrating. But the good news is I got Greatest Loser in group :blush: so am trying to feel proud of that. I think I will eat more carbs this week to try and shake things up, have not been having many for a long time but want to lose another 1.5lbs to get to Target. Eating chocolate at the mo to celebrate, but recording all syns to even things out over the week. I will get there!!!  Good luck everyone else this week xx

    Hi bubbs. No just silly sash  :D and certificate. Tete there is a nice recipe for Spiced Rice on SW website that includes an aubergine, only one though ;) . Tried it at tasters once and have made it several times since, we really like it. And a few SW mags ago there was a recipe you needed 3 aubergines for but can’t find it now. Was some kind of veggie ovenbake thing. Will post if I come across it again.
