You can eat really tasty food & lose weight!

Thursday 2nd May 2024

Needing my mug of tea this morning, I could've stayed in bed, I'll be ready for the day once it's drunk and I've showered to wake me up fully.  Here's hoping for a weight loss, 

This is my Nutracheck app week, it's set up for me to lose 1lb a week I think, so I'm in credit whichever way you look at it and after not being great the last month or 6 weeks, I'm hopeful and I'm so glad to be feeling more in control.  

I've also enjoyed my food this week, we had a concoction for lunch when I got home from work, using up the leftover mash from Sunday, fried it up with a bit of bacon and onion.  Also used up the leftover salsa from the burritos, it was delicious and indulgent.

  

Now dinner if I do say so myself was very good indeed, it was inspired by a delicious meal I had at Momma Sorrentis Facebook when Aryn and I visited.  I'd never had pork with pasta before so I thought I'd try it myself, now I'd bought pork chops in Aldi earlier in the week, if I was to make this again, I'd buy boneless ones or even try it with pork mince as the meal falls apart in the slow cooker and it's then a case of playing find the bones in your bowl eating game which isn't fun.  Other than that, the rest was delicious.  In a slow cooker put your pork, a jar of this which was really good for the price - 69p.

I also put in peppers, carrot and mushrooms, didn't add onion, not sure why not, maybe because I forgot or Aryn isn't a massive fan, it didn't need them anyway.  The mushrooms were big enough that I could ensure Aryn didn't get any.  Oh and I put a bit of chorizo in for some umph too.  It turned out really good, I just cooked it on low, left it on all day, put it on warm for the last few hours as they were messing outside with the bike.  When they were ready to eat, I did some spaghetti the cheap stuff as it all tastes the same I think and I made them cheesy garlic bread using the cheap on from Aldi and topped it with their cheese, I like that too.  That works out at about 75p for the whole thing and I split it between the two of them - I pinch one slice :) Lush!  

This was the final outcome and we'll definitely be having it again.

   

Oh I love food, I really do, I love it even more when we all sit and eat together, we managed to do it up the table in the garden yesterday - bliss.

Anyway, I better get ready for my day, I'm all showered and on my second mug of tea already!  I've even put chicken legs, onion and stock in the slow cooker for using later, not 100% sure what I plan to do with them, but they'll be eaten :) 

Here's to a great day, have a really good one,

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me xx
