Yesterday's Sunday Lunch was my second #SlimmingWorld ready meal.

I added plenty of extra vegetables too and this meal was a winner

I'm not a breakfast person but enjoy cereal as a TV snack. The thing is I tend to fill my bowl and not measure.
Today I have painstakingly weighed 35g of my cereal so that when I do feel the need for a nibble, I can just grab a bag and go

I'm trying one of the #SlimmingWorld ready meals later. There seems to be a lot here so I shall have half with some vegetables and have the rest tomorrow.



Well done to Sliming World for printing the recipe of the meal on the sleeve so we can make it ourselves.

Mini Bacon Quiche

I had some bacon that needed using up so I whipped up six mini quiches.
I frylighted, that's not a real word but I hope you understand, a pan, added the fatless bacon, some chopped onion and cooked through.
In my blender I blitzed 1 tub of quark with 4 eggs and added some dried oregano.
Then mixed all the ingredients together and popped them in bun cases.
A slice of tomato on each quiche and a tiny bit of very low fat cheese and cooked for 25 minutes at 190
