Morning everyone!

This is the first weekend in a while that I'm not going to blow all the week's hard work. I don't want to be miserable on Monday morning yet again. Had some granary rolls with cheese last night and a small bar of choccie, as my weekly treat, cos that's what I fancied.

Pasta for lunch and not sure about tea, yet, maybe a curry. I'm making lamb meatballs tomorrow, for a change.

Let's keep the momentum up, but if you do slip and fall, just get up, dust yourself off, and start again. We're all in this together:T

Have a good day all xxxxx

weldone mate , it will pay off you wait and see :T :T ,go gpuss:dance: :dance: :dance:

I have been really, really bad today.

But in my defence, I am feeling low (very low) and to top it all, my laptop is on the verge of packing in....the screen looks like a multi-coloured barcode!! So, back to sharing the main computer with dh again.

To be honest I feel close to crying....and I am not usually a crying person. I will try and follow the plan for the rest of the week...but I am not expecting miracles!! I think I will go and get a bath soon and try not to drown myself.(don't worry I would never do that to my boys)

I make a lovely sausage casserole which i reckon should be quite low syn. Can anyone advise....

sausages (i can use quorn)
1 tin tomatoes
400ml gravy (i could use bovril to make free?)
mushrooms
peppers
onion
mustard seeds
coriander
2 red chillis

Fry mustard seeds, chillis and onions. Add mushrooms, sausages, peppers and cook for a few minutes. Add tinned tomatoes + gravy. Simmer for 20mins or so, add coriander near end of cooking time.

I reckon this would be free on a green day so could serve with jacket potatoes and veg??[/quote] It sounds nice

Stir in the spices, salt & lemon juice. Add the coconut and continue cooking, stirring occasionally for 10 mins. Gradually add the yoghurt, a spoon at a time and simmer gently for 15-20 mins (do not boil or the yog will curdle).
Discard the cinnamon poeces, scatter over the fresh coriander and stir to combine before serving.

This really is a gorgeous sauce, my favourite!
