Food diary: DAY2
Breakfast
Tinned tomatoes, 1 slice of wholemeal toast, beans and an egg fried in fry light
I counted the toast as my healthy extra B so this breakfast was free and filling
Lunch
Grilled chicken salad wrap with salsa sauce. 2 syns for the salsa but totally worth it for added flavour!
Dinner
Balsamic glazed med veg & goat's cheese salad- free as I'm counting the goat's cheese within my healthy extra A options.
Snacks
5x chocolate fingers and a mini cookie- they have been decimated by the office now though so should be better on Monday!
Syn total- 12 a slight increase but was at an evening meeting and had eaten the mini cookie before I'd even realised! The chocolate fingers were just greediness!
Might give this Slimming World recipe a go this weekend
Angel Hair Pasta with Crab, Chilli & Pasta
- 100ml fish bouillion
- 1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
- finely grated zest of ½ unwaxed lemon
- 450g dried angel hair pasta or linguine
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 315g freshly cooked white crab meat
- 4 tbsp freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
- lemon wedges, to garnish
- rocket salad, to serve
- Put the bouillion, red chilli, garlic, and lemon zest into a small pan, place over a gentle heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions until al dente (tender but still retaining a bite). Drain well and set aside.
- Tip the chilli and lemon mixture into the saucepan the pasta was cooked in, then add the lemon juice and seasoning. Heat until sizzling, add the pasta and crab meat, and toss gently over a medium heat to warm the crab through. Add the parsley, season well, garnish with lemon wedges and serve with an rocket salad.
Tip: *If you can’t find unwaxed lemons, scrub waxed lemons thoroughly before use.
