Diet Week 1 – Thursday

I’m always getting the munchies late in the evening so  I am trying a new tactic today. I had breakfast at 10:30am, much later than usual and hopefully that will have a knock on effect with my other meals. In theory I will eat my dinner at about 8pm tonight so I won’t have time for munchies! Lets see if it works…

Breakfast – 1 slice of toast with margerine, 5 Carrs melts crackers, 1 cup of coffee with 1 sugar (250 calories)

Snack - 1 banana, 1 satsuma and 1 cup of tea, milk, no sugar (120 calories)

Lunch - Sainsburys Macaroni pasta in a cheese sauce (1/2 a packet) and extra cauliflour (350 calories)

Snack – 1/2 a can of Heinz Tomato Soup (113 calories)

Dinner – 200grams of Sainsbury’s be good to yourself oven chips, 1 sausage and peas with a squidge of tomato sauce (360 calories)

Total – 1,190 calories

Christmas Vegkey Pasta

This is a great way to get some veggies into your toddler and use up any left over turkey you have before you have to throw it away. We don’t do waste in our house!!

Baby Stir Fry!

INGREDIENTS : Turkey leftovers cut up into toddler sized bits, 150grams of pasta (any kind will do), a roasted vegtable pasta sauce – I got mine from Asda (ownbrand), a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.

You can add any leftover vegetables you have, including brussels, or just cook up some frozen veg, chop and add in to the mix.

DIRECTIONS - Cook the pasta until tender, drain and stir in a splash of olive oil to stop it sticking. Add the chopped turkey and other leftovers or any vegetable you fancy, pour in the sauce,  stir the whole lot up. Then sprinkle in the cheese and stir again. Seperate the mixture into two freezer bags and pop into the freezer. Each bag will provide a lunch for both you and your toddler. Harry loves this pasta as much as I do!

Enjoy!
