Dietary. My Monday Meal Plan this week has slid to a Tuesday – as you know if you have been reading and following my blog over the last few days, I have been SO busy with a houseful of guests, cleaning, cooking, gardening, packing (I am off on my travels tomorrow) and that left me only a few hours, or should I say and hour, in evening to write my blog, do round-ups (the Herbs on Saturday round-up is following on later today) and all the other stuff I love doing here
Dietary. well, what with doing my Wartime Kitchen and preparing for Christmas, I have not had time to post any meal plans, or indeed any of my new recipes, but, I am rectifying that today with a NEW recipe that’s just right for all the snow and frost we have been having over the last few days – a Scottish inspired Highland Stew
So, today I am sharing my TWO menu plans for my two fastdays – I usually fast on Mondays and Wednesdays, but as I hate being controlled (even by myself
on the Weight Watcher’s diet, if you don’t use any of your allocated daily points within a seven-day period, they can be “banked” for another day, such as a day when you are going out to dinner, or you are having a few naughty treats
Can be serve with mashed potatoes, steamed greens or crusty bread on a non-diet (non fast) day. On to my weekly meal plan now, which as usual I am linking to At Home with Mrs M’s Meal PlanningMonday linky
Mushrooms or tomatoes on toast, as well as egg on toast is a close second, and when I saw some lovely fresh and VERY seasonal autumn mushrooms at the market the other day, I set out to prove that you CAN have your “on toast” treat on a diet, that is tasty and full of flavour
The plain fact of the matter is that the plan works. The FastDiet, as well as on my blog here. By adding the porridge oats, these pancakes make you feel full for longer as well as enhancing the lowering of cholesterol in your daily diet
Have a VERY happy and healthy Tuesday, and see you later with my VERY late Monday Meal Plan. basically, on the “points” diet that I have always followed, (and I think that the Pro Points diet may be the same) if you KNOW you have a day coming up where you are going out for a meal or you will be eating MORE than your daily recommended daily points allowance, you can “save” some of your points up from days where you go BELOW your daily allowance, BUT only over the period of ONE WEEK = Fastdays then
Dietary. but, I start to feel the strains of excessive eating, and although I look forward to the sparkle of New Year’s Eve with more fizz and food, I like to have a frugal day or two in the “twilight” period as I sometimes call the week between Christmas and New Year
The Marmalade has been made, for my grand entry into the World’s Original Marmalade Awards, British Farmhouse Breakfast Week is over and January is about to slither out in either an avalanche of snow or a deluge of flooding, and, it is another Meal PlanningMonday post – WHERE did last week go
My 'area' is developing tasty, calorie counted recipes for people to enjoy on fastdays and in general with their families, rather than being an expert on the science / diet side
And yes, I have not posted in two days, which is VERY unusual for me, but I have lots of lovely recipes to share with you over the next few days, as well as some reviews, news, giveaways and a weekly meal plan too……along with photos and my daily thoughts, I hope to be back on track (excuse the pun – all this talk of trains has obviously affected me) very soon
This salad is part of my Weekly Meal Plan. So, here is my latest low-calorie recipe offering – but like all my recipes, I HOPE that they can be cooked or prepared for those of you NOT on a diet too
So, although Monday and Tuesday have gone, I hope that my mid-week meal plan will inspire you, and help you with what to make for the family this week and weekend……
And, when adding bulk to a fastday meal plan, I tend to go for stir-fry vegetables, as they fill you up and are also low in calories, even with a little sesame oil for that essential Asian taste
