Good evening, everyone.

This morning was quite busy so I had a banana (for energy) before circuits and an apple and two easy peelers between circuits and the next thing.  It worked!

This was the recipe I used for the smoky beans on toast.  I used spray oil, a bit of liquid smoke and it didn't need any sugar but the rest was pretty much as it said.  The butterbeans were a bit mushy because I over-slow-cooked the batch, but I was just careful when stirring them into the sauce.
Delicious, very easy and one to make again - you can use any pulses, it doesn't have to be butterbeans but I think butterbeans work really well.

I need to put some more in to soak now and this time I will try not to mush them

The really mushy bits went into Thermione with some frozen broccoli, cooked broccoli from yesterday, chicken stock and some soup base mix to make a waste-nothing soup.  I don't like frozen broccoli, it goes too soft and mushy.  Mash is good, mush is not!

One healthy calcium choice and the rest was free.

Meat feast tagliatelle.  I used ham, turkey and three rings of pepperoni, the usual veg, stirred in some philly light mixed in some sourdough tagliatelle (very nice).

Two swips for the pepperoni, two swips for the philly light and one calcium.

For afters, I had some rice pudding which was half a calcium and a further two swips for some agave nectar with cinnamon (Sweet Freedom)

Summary:
Healthy extras:  one and a half calciums and one fibre

Swips:  six

B:  omelette with turkey (using it up), mushrooms and cheese

L:  hm soup round at Beth's.  Yum!

D:  salmon, sweet potato roasties, veg or salad

Plus fruit

Exercise is Groove class and, weather permitting, the walk there and back.  As I type, the forecast is not great though.
