Accept
responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you
want to go, no one else. Healthy & Happy - BeYOUtiful xx
Old
habits die hard; apparently eating doesn't take your mind off the fact your
moms having surgery on Wednesday! I went to bed in the end to stop myself from
eating more when I realised what we’d both been doing - using food as a
distraction, it didn’t work! The good
news was the pre op went well and the operation will be going ahead Wednesday
morning, hopefully she should only be kept in overnight.
So
today I’m going to follow Filling & Healthy so that if I do eat a bit more
than usual, at least it’s good stuff.
I’m thinking egg, peas and chips for lunch as that’s one of mom’s
favourite meals, I might have bacon in a wrap for breakfast as I don’t have any
low calorie brown bread, and then tea will be something I think about – maybe
fish.
I put
together a video yesterday of just a small sample of our successful members in
our area,
It was
a great distraction that didn’t cost me any ProPoints and I do love to be
reminded of how fabulous our members are, some incredible weight losses have
been seen this year with the introduction of Simple Start, my members alone
have lost 313 stone! Yes it really does
work and I love that whether you’re counting ProPoints or eating Filling &
Healthy foods, you can always enjoy delicious food - Eat Gorgeous as I like to
say!
I’ve
just realised today’s Pancake Day, I’ve not got to worry about that as I’m
really not a fan of pancakes at all, however I know a lot of you will be – so
what’s the plan? Are you on F&H or
PP’s, here’s a version to cover both;
SimpleStart
F&H Pancakes
4pp total or F&H
Ingredients
1 banana
2 eggs- 4pp
1 tsp
vanilla extract
1 tsp of
sweetener
1/2 tsp
cinnamon
Whisk all
of the ingredients together, either by hand or preferably in a blender. It
should be a smooth batter.
Over a
medium heat, mist a non stick pan with spray oil. When the oil is hot,
pour 2 Tbl of the batter onto the hot pan. When bubbles start appearing
and the batter goes a dull colour rather than shiny, flip the pancake over.
Repeat
until the batter is all used. Top
with your favourite toppings and serve immediately.
Here’s another F&H
option
Total Greek Healthy Pancake Recipe
10pp total if using 1
teaspoon of oil, or completely F&H
2 eggs
(4pp)
40g
oat flour* (4pp)
100g 0%
fat Total Greek yoghurt (1pp)
Oil
spray for cooking or a pan liner cut to fit your frying pan!
Extras
- Vanilla essence and sweetener if required
*To make oat
flour simply blend rolled oats (porridge oats) in a blender for a few seconds. You
can make a big batch of oat flour at once and store it in an air-tight jar! Or
you could use Ultra Fine
Scottish Oats (Ground Oats).
Add your eggs, oat flour, Greek yoghurt and extra flavours if using to a
bowl
Whisk until light & fluffy - I used an electric whisk
Heat your pan on a medium heat, with your oil, and pour in small amounts
of the mixture (to create a pancake
stack cook 2 small pancakes in the pan for the base and then cook batches of 3
pancakes per pan for the rest of the pancake stack!)
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes before flipping with a spatula and
placing on a plate once cooked - repeat until you have none of the mixture left
Stack your pancakes in a pile and top with your favourite toppings -
Greek yoghurt, banana, frozen berries, cinnamon
And lastly if you’d like to stick with good old fashioned original
Pancakes, here’s the recipe;
Pancakes
Makes 12, total 14pp, then divide between how
many you manage to make!
125 g Flour, Wheat, White, Plain, sifted 11pp
1 medium Egg, Whole 2pp
1/2 serving(s) Milk, Skimmed (1/4 pint) 1pp
1 spray(s) Cooking Spray, Calorie Controlled
Put the flour into a bowl and break the egg into
the centre. Add the milk gradually
beating into a batter. Pour the batter
into a jug.
Heat a non-stick frying pan. Spray lightly with low-fat cooking spray. Pour in 3 tbsp batter and quickly swirl the
pan to coat the base. Cook until the
batter becomes firm and bubbles appear.
Flip the pancake over. Serve with fresh lemon, artificial sweetener
or sugar (at extra ProPoints!).
Having a ‘flipping’ good day BeYOUtiful – get
it!
