You may have noticed I have been MIA for the last few weeks. I’ve had a lot going on and had a little blogging break but I have still been going to weigh in – with the exception of one week. Anyway, I’ve been so up & down with being on plan, pretty much like a yo-yo! I lost my appetite for a while and was barely eating anything but then it started coming back and I was back in the game for a few days but then I went off track again for various reasons and was either eating …
Recipe – Black forest cheesecake (with a twist) #GBBOBloggers2015
I’m so excited that it’s the return of the Great Bloggers Bake Off! Jenny over at Mummy Mishaps did a wonderful job of hosting last year but this year she is handing the reins over to some other bloggers to guest host too and one of them will be me in a few weeks, eek! I’m very determined to add to my badge from last year for my salted caramel & chocolate tart, but we shall see. 😉 So the first week of the Great British Bake Off was cake week as per usual, and I was absolutely drooling over the black forest …
Meaty conchiglie pasta bake | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Pasta is a firm favourite in our household and we tend to eat it at least once a week – even better that it’s ‘free’ on Slimming World so I can eat as much as I like! (The dried version anyway). A couple of months ago I received some vouchers from Tesco to purchase some of their ‘finest’ pasta and I bought some large conchiglie pasta shells. I was going to stuff and then bake them but in the end I just went for this fuss free pasta bake. Totally delicious and very low syn on Slimming World!* Ingredients (serves …
Little man J at 3 years 3 months old
Yet again I’m late with this update as yet again it’s almost time for the next one, in another week. J & his brother are totally siphoning my energy at the moment so I just can’t keep up. Never mind! I’ve posted before how he had behavioural problems at nursery but recently he has been getting a good report when I collect him; I’m thinking maybe the Pitstop we have been attending has done some magic on him, but then I think well he is pretty much still just the same at home! Maybe they are dealing better with him than I …
Slimming World weigh in #24 – the one where…
After my weigh in last week where I was actually quite shocked at my small gain I was right back on plan and was determined to get my holiday weight off and grab that 2 stone award I have been chasing for the last few weeks. We didn’t have any plans other than a barbecue at my mum’s at the weekend where I knew I would stuff my face (!) so I tried to keep my syns down for the rest of the week for some damage limitation. Indeed I did my stuff my face and I have absolutely no idea …
