Friday, 03-07-26 and catch up photos

Hi to anyone still reading.  :-)  It's been a bit of a busy old week, often in the evenings when all I want to do is go to bed, not get my brain together enough to post.
I think, going forward, I may not be able to post every evening so it may be a post for more than one day sometimes.

Here's some of the meals I have had this week.

Avocado, melba toast and a salad

Fruit - the blueberries are from the garden.

A Slimming World Kitchen meal - one tray Mexican steak with beans


Lemon sorbet from an evening out

Fish and chips from ditto



I fancied just baked beans one day

Fruit, yogurt and mixed seeds

Fajita steak, grains and salad

Omelette, grains and tomatoes



Half a four egg omelette filled with onion, pepper and mushrooms plus tomato on the side followed by a nectarine.
Two oil swips.

 
A portion of yesterday's Mexican steak and beans with creme fraiche, cheese and a simple salad.  Very much nicer after a day of sitting in the fridge!
Two and a half swips for salad dressing, one and a half swips for lighter creme fraiche and one C healthy extra for the cheese.

Later on I had an apple.

In the evening, I made the ginger and pork stir fry.
It was nice and I bet it will be nicer when I have the second portion,  The box provided white rice and I subbed half of my favourite pouch of Glorious Grains (Merchant Gourmet) instead.  The rice can go in the Slimmer of the Week basket next week.

It made three portions (one now, one tomorrow and one in the freezer) so what I had was two and a half swips for the grains and two oil swips as I used a tbsp evoo in total.
These SWK boxes expect you will use spray oil but I'm happy to use my oil healthy extra.

For afters, I had a nectarine.

Summary:
one C healthy extra and one O (I'm using initials from now on, I'm fed up of typing the whole name)
four swips

B:  the other half of the omelette with some fried tomatoes and mushrooms and I might sprinkle over some cheese for my C, seeing as the other meals don't really allow for it

L:  another portion of the pork stir fry from yesterday with a side salad

D:  the last SWK meal, jewelled chicken curry with broccoli and the rest of the grains.

And fruit



Regarding the healthy extras, C is calcium, F is fibre and O is oils and fats - easy!  :-)
