Hi Scousebird

500g sweet potato, diced
100g chorizo, diced
1.5L chicken stock or veg stock
Cook for a few hours in a slow cooker, then blend with a stick blender.

I don't usually add any herbs, spices or seasoning as stock is well seasoned anyway and it has a strong flavour already.
If you like it spicy though, some extra paprika is good.

A 300g portion has 130 Cal / 15.9g Carbs / 4.4g fat / 4.0g protein

Opened the last carton of cow’s milk that’s been sitting in the cupboard for ages when I switched to almond milk.

I’m not unduly worried by the high BS today as the sudden drop gives me a hint of what’s going on! That & the timing of it: about a month after the last time!

Felt really tired all day today, despite the long lie-in!
 
B. My usual.
S. Coffee and two gingernuts.
L. Not hungry, sparkling water.
D. 8 oven chips, beef burger only 3.5 carbs and tasty, my downfall was some mushy peas , they were lovely too and a Coke Zero.
S. Was a bit lower than I like to go to bed on so had half a slice of wholemeal bread and butter all washed down with a nice mug of coffee.
Night night.
