The best burger in the world

Hey peeps,

Well I have been good today, all on plan.  Had a yummy “fry-up” for breakfast and some free soup for lunch, which I will post the recipe for tomorrow probably.  And then oh my word I had the most AMAZING burger ever, I’m drooling thinking about it and I just ate it!

It was very similar to the burger here but I didn’t add egg, breadcrumbs or herbs but instead added some pickled jalapeno’s when mixing it all together in the food processor and probably a little bit more liquid beef stock but it was soooo tasty!  I then added cheese (HEA), fried onion and a bacon medallion.  This was all on a warburtons thins bun which is about 4 syns but I cheated and called it my HEB since I had a bite of my daughters toast this morning(cheating I know before anyone says it but I am not that strict!)  I also added a teaspoon of sweet chilli sauce at about 1 syn.  This was all served with garlic and herb wedges and some coleslaw to make up my 1/3 superfree.  You can find the recipe for that here

You HAVE to make this, just have to!

 

Creamy and Yummy Philli Chicken Recipe

Hmmmm I just had the most amazing dinner ever and it was all free on Extra Easy(if using 1 A choice HE) and it was sweet chilli philli chicken with roasted garlic and herb roasties and steamed carrots and it was yum yum yum.  You will need to excuse the picture as I only had my mobile to hand but if you make this I promise you will love it.

Oh and I normally make this with garlic philli but I decided to try the sweet chilli this time and it was just as good!

Recipe (Serves 2):

I haven’t given measurements for the veggies as I tend to see how much I can fit on the foil and take it from there.  These veggies plus some extra steamed veg will more than make up your 1/3 super free.

• Mangetout
• Baby sweetcorn
• Green beans
• 2 Chicken breasts
• 150g light philli – whatever flavour you want
• Salt and pepper

Method:

• Tear off 2 large pieces of tin foil, enough to hold all your veggies and the chicken.
• Cut the mangetout in half down the middle and split between the foil
• Cut the baby sweetcorn into 4 and also split between the foil
• Place the green beans onto the foil also
• Split the chicken breasts horizontally so you can place the philli between the 2 slices
• Spread the philli between the 2 chicken breasts and place the other piece of chicken on top
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place a breast on top of the veggies on each piece of foil
• Cover the chicken by making the foil into a parcel and place into a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees C for about 30 mins

Once the chicken is cooked slide the entire dish onto a plate from the foil and serve with whatever you like.

I hope you like this, it is one of my favorite meals.

 

Back for good!

Hey guys,

Please forgive the cheesy Take That lyric but I figured it was a pretty good description of what is happening right now.  Scarily I realised today that is is almost 2 years (minus a week) since I last posted on this blog.  A lot has happened since then and I am now finally ready to get back on this weight loss journey and finally get to a place where I feel happier in myself!

Well let me see what have I done since I have been away??? Hmmm well I had a baby who is now growing up to be a gorgeous and precocious little girl, I have finished my graduate program and am now a fully fledged geek and have finally decided that now is the time I am going to make changes to my life.

There are a few changes that I want to make but the main and most important one at this time is to start eating healthier and start living a bit healthier.  I already cook lots of lovely and healthy meals for my daughter so now it is time for me to extend that a bit more and take a closer look at what I have been/am going to eat.

I have decided to go back to Slimming World as I love the program and it is ridiculously easy to follow and I will start posting up new recipes, with pictures of course, of all the wonderful food I am going to be eating.

I seriously doubt that anyone that used to check this blog still does but that doesn’t matter, this is a record for me and I just hope that it can be of some use to other people!

Well that’s it for just now but I will post another blog later with details of the fabulousness that will be my dinner tonight – philli chicken.
