The weather has been beautiful today and as such we have had a lovely relaxing morning just sitting in the garden and reading while waiting for a friend to come over to have a BBQ lunch, Slimming World friendly of course. As I had Fruit and Fibre for breakfast as my HEB I didn’t have a cob but to be honest I didn’t feel like missed out. To help me stick to my syns I used a couple of my tried and and tested recipes that I know I love. The first on was Tandoori Chicken Skewers.
They are amazing and my other half thinks they are the best thing ever, in fact whenever we have a BBQ these are always requested. The best thing is that if you do not tell people they are Slimming World friendly they simply don’t know. They are just that good. Even better than that is that they are FREE!!!! I really would recommend that you try them and you can find the recipe HERE.
Another thing that I made is homemade burgers, unfortunately they looked and tasted so good that I completely forgot the take a picture, but you can find the recipe HERE. These are also FREE.
Alongside this I had some very juicy and tasty mushrooms (so juicy in fact that the juice burnt my lip 😦 ) and our friend brought along some Pork and Sweet Chilli Sausages. These I worked out and 5.5 syns and as I had such a good rest of the BBQ I allowed myself 1 without a cob. All in all it was a very good syn friendly BBQ.
In other news I also went to see my very first ice hockey match and I absolutely loved it! I’m really not one for watching sports like football (it annoys me when players roll on the floor for every minor injury) or rugby (I get annoyed by the stop and start play) but ice hockey is so quick! I was also strong and didn’t give into the temptation of burgers and hotdogs and chocolate and sweeties. Instead I just made do with…a diet coke. YAY for me!
So today has been an OK diet day again. I has better get a good weight loss this week.
