Evening folks

well my meals changed a bit today .

• my "cream of broccoli soup" was in fact chicken n split pea-nomnomnom
• and instead of jackets, i made a lovely sauce with some of the courgette and various beans from the garden, garlic, peppers, broccoli, cauli, sweetcorn n peas and a dollop of cream cheese and wholegrain mustard-ooh and some chorizo (all that went in hubbies though ) and served it over some gnocci.....a bit of a concoction -but hubby loved it too :T and loads of veggies in there too :A :rotfl:
• Snacky wise i have had 2 pots of natural yog... but put a heaped teaspoon of a lovely strawberry, rhubarb, plum, cinnamon and clove compot thing i have mmmmmmm just enough to take the tart edge off the yog without being sickly:D

hmmmm now i think we have 2 votes against tempeh and 1 vote for :rotfl: if i can find it... i think i might have seen some in my big supermarket before -in fact im sure i picked it up and wondered what it was :rotfl: ...i will give it a go .... im sure with plenty of seasoning and stuff i will get it down my neck - I have read that it is sooooooo good for you and have quite a few recipes in my new book -so i will give it a bash
I am yet to have any dish with tofu in that i liked -but im going to give that another bash and see if i can come up with a way of making it edible

Well done on the losses folks...we are getting there :T
Right i hasd better get off and catch up on everything else..have a great night everyone

Pebbles, Beanielou and Marie - it's funny you should mention arnica because I got some in an SBC set off QVC a few months back and yesterday and today I have been putting it on and I do think it helps - it seems to have brought out the bruising and the swelling is definitely a bit better today.

After having lunch out I wasn't too hungry at tea time so just had two pieces of toast with my hm welsh rarebit stuff on - it is just dried milk powder, a splash of skimmed milk, low fat spread, grated cheese and seasoning melted together and spread on toast and grilled. It is yummy although I do know that it sounds horrible! For afters I just had a nectarine and a cup of tea.

Mrs M - gnocchi is one of my most favourite things to eat! I have it just with a simple tomato sauce on and baked in the oven sprinkled with a bit of grated parmesan - it's lovely!

Hope you all had a good evening.

So glad you find the arnica helpful recovering.
I use it a lot as I fall a lot & sometimes have amazing bruises:rotfl:

morning everyone!

RS - hope you're manageing to cope with the wrist. Glad the arnica seems to be helping.

Am off out shopping later for a pressie for a present for my birthday as DH hasn't a clue what to get me - I dont know either:rolleyes: I'm 42 tomorrow:eek:

Food plans - not too sure. Have had some soaked muesli for breakfast and have got some HM sweet potato and lentil soup for lunch but not sure about our evening meal yet. We're also doing the grocery shop so might get some inspiration from that.

Hope you all have a good day!
