Today:

B- Greek yoghurt with frozen raspberries
L- ham cheese and mustard sandwich, mini pork pie. Go ahead apple bar things, a small bar of dark chocolate, skips.

In my defence I’ve had a bloody awful day.

D- will be: minted lamb kebabs (sainsburys) with cous cous and rocket salad.
In all likely hope this will be followed up with chocolate and doughnuts.

I’m stressed out. My sons not well (he’ll be fine just a tummy bug but I need to keep him off nursery for next 48hrs), and my Mum fell down a flight of stairs today after being to the dentist and has spent all day in hospital. She’s on her way to my brothers now but isn’t allowed to be on her own for next 48hours so as of 8.30am tomorrow morning I need to look after her and my 3 year old. Obviously this isn’t a problem but being v pregnant I’m shattered as well so it’s all a bit overwhelming. I eat when I’m stressed!!
 
A new gastronomic experience this evening. Slow roasted tamarind pork with butternut squash 'chips', broccoli and freshly dug carrot. Was amazing!!
We first tasted tamarind pork when staying with Mrs W's niece in the Caribbean and got the recipe from her. It includes honey but Mrs W used a no-sugar sweetner and it worked just fine.

This is the recipe from Lucy’s niece – it is for a restaurant. Lucy reduced quantities to about a quarter and it served three of us.

1 cup each of honey, soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice, mixed with a half cup of tamarind concentrate. Marinate pork loin for 24 hrs. Roast or slow cook.

Lucy slow cooked but thinks next time she’ll roast as she thinks it will be nearer the Caribbean taste, though I found it absolute delicious as it was. She also replaced the honey with a no-sugar sweetener due to my diabetes, but I reckon a wee bit (tsp) of honey might be ok for me and would add even more to the taste.
 
B: Mackerel in tomato sauce on a low carb muffin
L: tuna, cottage cheese & cucumber in a Burgen thin
D: Chicken & Chorizo ratatouiile
Pud: 4 squares 85% choc
 
Hope today goes ok for you Grainger 🙂

Sunday...
B: 50g Jordans Country Crisp, semi-skimmed milk
L: Hovis WG Cheese and onion sandwich, packet of onion rings
D: Roast chicken breast with small portion of stuffing and one small chipolata. 2 small carrots, 65g peas, approx 65g of sliced runner beans. 2 Yorkshire Puddings, and some Bisto.

Monday
B: Greggs Bacon Roll
L: Hovis WG Laughing Cow and salad cream sandwich, packet of Scampi Flavoured Fries, Marmite cheese.
D: Ikea meatballs, 100g vegetable chips, 65g Peas/65g Sweetcorn. 2 Lindor for dessert.
 
Vince found this today in Carrefour :D
Ruddy Expensve. Bought 3 bars of the Carrefour own brand 16g/carbs per 100 the bar weight 80g
Lindt 8 gr/carbs pers 100 and the bar weight is 50g so that bar is only 4g/carbs BUT nearly £5 per bar.Little bit OTT even for me.
