It was a pretty chilly morning so I decided that dinner would be an enormous pan of beef and vegetable soup. All the root vegetables I could find went into the pan as well as pearl barley and lentils. With extra lean beef cubes that was all that was needed to make a hearty soup for later! There is no need for stock or flavourings save for salt and pepper.
After a yummy pasta dish on Friday I really wanted pasta for lunch. Again I raided the fridge for vegetables - peppers, mushrooms, broccoli and spring onions. I softened these and added some dry cured smoked bacon then tossed into tagliatelle. Delicious enough without adding any cheese. Followed this with a yoghurt and an orange.
Now I needed to ensure that I didn't eat my way through the afternoon so I found my knitting pattern for Easter novelties and started off. Before long this was complete:
It kept me going until dinner. - my hearty soup! I added herb dumplings for my husband but managed to avoid them myself. (Well done me!) one huge bowl was enough. Later in the evening I had some rice pudding with fruit. I really like cold rice from the fridge! It's easy to make - just boil it in water and add sweetener and a few drops of vanilla essence. I have enough left for breakfast tomorrow! I also made lunch for tomorrow so plenty of planning to help with a successful Monday perhaps.
Oh dear! I have completely forgotten my HEa (except for a very small amount of skimmed milk in coffee). I had a very small piece of chocolate which was about 4 syns. All in all a reasonable day.
