Yesterday's food went better than expected. Chewing is difficult, as is negotiating food in a denture filled mouth so the whole process is very slow, no chance of bolting anything, and I get that 'satisfied' feeling before I've finished. Another helpful strategy!
Today's mushy and soft menu plans are:
B: scrambled eggs and baked beans, mini yogurt drink
Beth came round yesterday and had beans on toast so there's a portion of beans left over for today. I might poach or 'fry' the eggs instead, depending on how I feel when I get to breakfast
SW: two syns for the yogurt drink.
L: ham and mushy pea soup; yogurt
A bit of a cheat, this one, in a way. I had the ham stock from boiling up the gammon ham yesterday. I added a little bit of onion, carrot and celery amd then a can of mushy peas which was part of the Slimmer of the Week hamper a couple of weeks ago. I boiled it all up with a bit of seasoning: salt - be careful with salt when using ham stock - pepper and a bay leaf which I removed before blending.
When the vegetables were cooked, I blended it all smooth and then added some finely shredded ham for a bit of extra taste. It's been in the fridge so should have developed some extra flavour
SW: half a syn for the yogurt and half a heA for milk I will use to dilute the soup which has cooled to very thick indeed! Nice
D: smoked cod with cheesy parsnips and sprouts; banana ice cream
I will bake the smoked cod wrapped in foil. I will boil the parsnips before mashing with 30g cheddar and a bit of cajun spice and slightly overcook the sprouts.
The banana ice cream will be just some frozen chopped banana that I have in the freezer, whizzed to smooth and I might add some agave nectar for taste
SW: one and a half heAs and one and a half syns for 1 tbsp agave nectar
S: maybe a yogurt or something, if I have to and I have a small amount of the smoked salmon dip left over from yesterday that I don't really want to freeze
BM: a nice walk, I hope, as the weather is supposed to really pick up today.
Summary:
- two heAs
- four syns
- apart from the cod, really frugal and I like using the ham stock. No waste!
- the eating window will be eleven to seven as usual; 8:16
