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

1 Courgette which I spiralized

Fry the courgette, onion and chilli in the frylight for 10 minutes.
Whisk together the quark and eggs

Then pour over the egg mixture and top with the sliced tomato
Cook at 160 for 35 minutes.

Happy Bunny

Well I've been to this weeks weigh in and am chuffed to bits. Since last Tuesday I've lost 6lb in weight. I've never Lost large amounts in a week and this is the most.
I am totally in shock. I'm going to stay with the SP plan but maybe just for 5 out of 7 days as I did miss pasta and potato by day 5.


Happy New Year. May it be a wonderful healthy one

I go every week to my local Slimming World group and really do enjoy every minute of class. Last week we were introduced to a new plan Extra Easy SP .
I have been on this plan since last weeks class and this afternoon is weigh in!! Let's see if its worked. I have missed my carbs but only towards the end of my week, other than that I have really enjoyed my meals and haven't gone hungry.
Watch this space.
