Afternoon, everyone!

I did apple cinnamon waffles rather than carrot cake and, yes, slightly overcooked them but they were nice.

Half a fibre hex.

This was lovely.  Onion, sweet potato, tomatoes and butter beans, cooked with chicken stock, garlic, old bay spice and seasoning.

The pitta is not a healthy extra, being white, but I have some that need using up so seven and a half swips.

That's it for today as I'm out this evening so I'll post this early.  I'll be having chicken and salad at the Harvester.

B:  fruit and yogurt

L:  tapas:  spicy Spanish Chickpeas, tomato and onion, hummus, pitta for dipping

D:  chicken and butterbean stew with vegetables

Yes, I am going a bit Spanish/SW-ish after last week - just like I did with Cretan food in the spring!

It has to be adapted - have you seen how much evoo most recipes use?

Good evening - and back gt normal!

Fruit and yogurt with seeds and honey for breakfast.

Two and a half swips for honey and part of my oil hex for seeds.

Spanish bacon and butterbean stew for lunch (really tasty).

My fibre hex for the toast

I made a small Spanish tortilla and salad for dinner.

It wads nice but not a delicious as the ones on holiday because I limited the evoo.

The rest of my oil hex and my fibre hex for feta (not particularly Spanish but not to worry)

One and a half swips for salad cream in the coleslaw.

Summary:

One each of the healthy extras

Four swips

B:  carrot cake waffles (or pancakes) with fruit and yogurt

L:  sweet potato and butterbean soup (probably)

D:  to the Harvester with friends.  I'll probably have my usual - salad and chicken.

Groove.

Monday, 14-09-26 - morning

Hi, all.  After a wonderful time away in Spain, it's time to clamber back on the old wagon again!

I didn't take specific photos while away but I (and others) took some photos of the food we enjoyed so here's some without any comment.

The proper blog will be back this evening.  :-)

Info!

 Just to say I'm away and won't be able to post for a week.  I'll be back as soon as possible.  Have a great week.  xx

Evening, everyone.

Breakfast was an apple, before early morning PT

I had lunch out with a friend and I enjoyed a jacket potato with baked beans.  I couldn't manage all of it but what I ate was delicious.

And this was dinner.  Yesterday's leftover bolognaise and I roasted and roughly mashed sweet potato for a topping - you can't really see it as the blends nicely with the bolognaise.  Very orange with the carrots but there's loads of veg in the mince.

Half a healthy fats/oils for evoo

I can't really do a summary as I don't know the lunch count - I did ask for no butter but I think I detected a bit.

B:  fruit

L:  I quite fancy pancakes again

D:  half the cottage pie is left over so I'll have that with something.  I ha.ve stuff to use up

 Really sorry - I wrote Tuesday's post but didn't publish it.  No idea why not.  It's there now.

Breakfast was an apple and a banana.

I had a bacon and egg sandwich for lunch.

One fibre and half a healthy fats/oils

Spag bol for dinner.

Half a healthy fats/oils

Summary:
Healthy extras:  one fibre and one fats/oils

No swips.

I'm not sure about breakfast/lunch as I will be out

D:  cottage pie

 Evening, everyone!

I had an apple before Groove and a nectarine and a banana afterwards.

Lovely lunch - I made pancakes with a thinner batter so they were more like crepes, drizzled in lemon juice and sugar (sweetener) and topped them with plums and strawberries.

So good and very filling.  It's easy to forget that my pancakes have wholemeal flour, sourdough starter, egg and yogurts so very satisfying.

Half a fibre for the flour and starter and I'm saying a swip for the sweetener.  It isn't really but SW likes you to swip sweetener if you have over a certain amount and I think I was pretty close to that.  Not very healthy and I don't do it very odften.

Something I have been craving.  Two small jacket potatoes with salad cream (sorry but a jacket HAS to have salad cream), grated cheddar and bacon with tomatoes on the side.

One and a half calciums, one swip for a few sprays of evoo over the potato skin and two swips for salad cream (the 70% less kind)

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

four swips

B:  fruit and yogurt

L:  bacon and egg roll, tomatoes

D:  spag bol and side salad
