You’re not going to
master the rest of your life in one day.
Just relax. Master the day. Then
just keep doing that every day.
No yoga this
morning, too much to do before work, I thought I might wake up early especially
as we went to bed at 8 but I slept till the alarm at 5 so they yoga is going to
have to wait till tomorrow.
Well I spent the
raining day mostly indoors with mom doing my crochet, finally finished sewing
it all together just going round the sides a couple of times and it’s done. I’ve
already got my wool on order for my next one, it’s keeping my hands busy and
there’s no calories in it. Shows how much we change, I hated these blankets as a kid, they were what mom made because we were skint and couldn't afford nice ones, now I love them and they are expensive to make and to buy! Ones like this are selling for £200-£300 plus on Etsy, I'm not surprised the time involved in making on.
We had Chicken Kiev
for dinner yesterday, it was a substitute in my shopping and I expected it to
blow my Points budget but at 10SP I didn’t think that was too bad, 5 for my
mash and some zero veggies, not bad at all.
I have to say though the mash and cabbage were the best things on the
plate, forgot how good cabbage tastes.
If 10 Smart Points
is too much to spend you could always make your own for 4 Smart Points, the
Weight Watchers website / app is full of alternative recipes. We’re looking at food from around the globe
in this week’s meetings, I’ll be hoping to pick up lots of new recipe ideas.
Chicken Kiev
Serves 4 people
Difficulty: Easy
Low
fat soft cheese with garlic and herbs provides the secret filling for this
delicious low fat Chicken Kiev - which is baked, rather than fried.
5 spray(s)
Calorie controlled cooking spray
4 medium
Chicken breast, skinless, raw
125g
Medium fat soft cheese,
with garlic 8 Points
1 pinch
Salt
1 teaspoons
Black pepper
2
tablespoons,
level
Plain White Flour 4 Points
1 medium, raw
Egg, whole, raw
50g
Breadcrumbs, fresh,
3 Points
Vegetables or salad, to serve
Preheat oven to Gas Mark
5/190°C/375°F. Mist a shallow baking dish or baking sheet with low fat cooking
spray.
Put
the chicken breasts, well-spaced apart, between sheets of cling film or
greaseproof paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to beat them out until
flattened - but avoid bashing them until they break up. Remove the film or
paper.
Divide
the soft cheese into 4 equal portions and form into cylinder shapes. Place them
on the chicken breasts, towards the narrow end. Season with salt and pepper.
Roll up the breasts, folding in the sides to encase the cheese. Use cocktail
sticks to secure them.
Roll
the chicken parcels in the flour then dip them into the beaten egg mixture.
Finally, roll them in the breadcrumbs and place them in the dish or on the
baking sheet.
Bake
for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. To check, pierce
with a skewer or sharp knife - the juices should run clear. Remove the cocktail
sticks then serve with fresh vegetables or salad.
Got a poorly mom on
my hands, she’s just woke up, she’s coughed all night so we’ve both had a
disturbed night. I don’t think it’s a
normal cough, I think it’s being caused by her stomach, aggravated by eating so
much junk the last few days. Remember
folks, it isn’t just your weight that’s affecting from eating too much of the
wrong stuff!
Anyway, I need to go
sort her out so I’ll catch some of you in a few hours, and the rest of you on
my blog tomorrow.
Take care of you
BeYOUtiful, eat healthy and delicious food and don’t be afraid to do nothing
sometimes, I mostly did not a fat lot of anything this weekend, now to work my
socks off for a few days.
