Trying to be good
After 3 weeks of either guests or being away, I have not been as good
with the points and things as usual, and I'm down on the exercise. The gentlemen of the family are off to Scout camp this weekend, and I'm free to swim!  So I planned the menus, and I'm trying hard to stay on plan and on points: I'm so close to goal! But I do keep getting attacks of the nibbles... So I bought a big bag of carrots and have salad stuff in, and I made a big pot of butternut soup for colder moments. I might5t also make some carrot and correander soup just to ring the changes now and again... -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

Oh, if I'm cooking for guests, *that's* all WW friendly... It's the periferals, like cake and beer and cheese that cause the hiatus in the healthy eating plan!  Yesterday worked: Breakfast: wholemeal jam sandwich: 2.5 points Lunch: Butternut squash soup, 0 points wholemeal Philly extra Light on bread, 2.5 points Muller Light yoghurt, 1.5 points Go Ahead bar: 1.5 points Total: 6 points Dinner: spicy chicken breast strips: 2.5 points salad: 0 points Home made dressing: .5 points Bread rolls: 4 points Apple: .5 points Total: 8 points Snacks: apple: .5 points small bowl butternut squash soup, 0 points Day's total: 17 points. My allowance is 18 points. Today's also looking good: Breakfast: 2 Shredded Wheat: 2 points Small banana: 1 point Semi skimmed milk: .5 points (I don't like much!) Lunch (I'm about to start this) Butternut squash soup: 0 point Wholemeal bread and Philly extra Light: 2.5 points Muller light Yoghurt: 1.5 points apple: .5 points Dinner: Bowyers 98% fat free sausages: 3 points New potatoes: 2 points Salad: 0 points Dressing: .5 points Fruit (probably 2 satsumas or an apple) .5 points Day's total: 14.5 points, leaving me 3.5 fr snacks. I can add a point for exercise today (stomping up and down the stairs in Canterbury's multi-story car-park, and shoe shopping!), and the point left over from yesterday if I want them too, but I probably won't need them. I shall drink plenty of Twinings Green Jasmine tea and maybe another mug of decaf coffee. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

Excellent! I added another half point for the Greek Yog based dressing I put on the potatoes to turn them into potato salad at the request of my lads. I also had a Tesco Healthy Living bar for 1.5 points, and a mug of low fat etc. hot chocolate for another 1.5. Makes a total for the day of 18 - my allowance. I shall save the earned and left-over point for another time, and have a small bowl of zero point soup before heading for bed... So today has worked as well! If I don't lose this week I shall be fine with that. I'm just hoping that the weekend won't have meant I gained much... I've got until 7:30 pm on Thursday! -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

Fat free broth that you like (I like beef for the soup) and loads of
vegetables. There's a recipe in the Week 1 book at WW, but the idea is to adapt it to your taste, I make it sometimes with loads of fresh herbs, or sometimes with lots of hot spices, or just plain and add the spices when I heat it up. I make a lot of it and freeze it in 1 serving containers. Will~ "AC" wrote in message . .. Hi Kate, Can you post your zero point soup recipe? I love soup, no matter the weather!

This particular one is the WW Butternut squash one: Low fat cooking spray 1 onion, chopped 400g/14oz butternut squash, peeled, de-seeded, and chopped 2 teaspoons of ground cumin (or Old bay seasoning - which is wonderful!) 850ml/1 1/2 pints(20 fl oz) vegetable stock (cube stock is fine) salt and pepper Spray a medium saucepan with the low fat cooking spray, and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften Add the butternut squash and cumin and stir well. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 18-20 minutes until the butternut squash is tender. Remove from the heat and blend in a food processor or with a hand blender. Check the seasoning and serve. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

I've also done cinnamon and nutmeg in the butternut squash soup. It's a
mainstay for the cold weather but I'm thinking it would also taste ok as a cold soup - though I prefer gazpachos and cucumber soup in the warm weather. -- the volleyballchick "Kate Dicey" wrote in message ...
