Wow.... I made some scrummy 'free on green' crisps !

Well today could have so easily turned into a nightmare diet day but I was determined that I would sort it, and I did, so I have had another good diet day.

Brekkie was a mullerlight, a satsuma and a apple. Lunch wasnt too bad, I made some vegetable soup....it tasted yummy, it consisted of what was left in the vegetable drawer in the fridge, 2 carrots, 3 sticks of celery, 4 sprouts, tin of chop toms and cup full of chicken bovril had some celery, 1 laugh cow X light, 1 laugh cow lite, 1 babybel light (reckon that adds up to the HE A) and 3 pagen krisprolls....

and for tea I had 'grabwhatyoucanfindleftinthecupboards'.... LOL

I had a potato, that I put in the oven to make into jacket potato..... but then I decided I was to hungry so after it had been in there 15 mins I cut it up into slices to make chips, and cooked tho instead, much quicker.... I then had the rest of the macaroni - cold - which was delish, and then I had a blackcurrant muller and am now eating some of the 'free on green' lasagne crisps and they are WOW WOW WOW.........

There has been alot of discussion of those crisps and whether they are actually free, some people say they are as pasta is free on green - some say they are not as you are not eating the pasta the way intended.... I reckon if you eat a sensible amount and only cook as much as you would eat if you were eating it as pasta then its got to be fine.... ;)

Here is the recipe in case you fancy making some.....

Take lasagne sheets and place them in an oven dish and pour boiling water from the kettle over them. Leave them for about 15 minutes until they are soft.

Take them out and cut into triangles (1 sheet makes about 6 triangles)

Place them on a non stick baking tray and sprinkle with salt or any kind of seasoning ( I used cajun spice).

Place in a hot oven for about 5 minutes although I wouldn't recommend leaving them as they brown very very quickly.

They will bubble up and go crispy and are just like doritos -they are fab ;

Poorly babies :(

Well they are all off school today, 2 ill, 1 not impressed that she's missin Mini Movers..... every five seconds one of them is calling me.... the poorly two are up in their beds so have been running up and down the stairs like wee willie winkie..... jsut need to find a hat to put on :P

Chloe is very poorly, she wasnt well yesterday and I got a call from the school nurse to ask if they could give her parcetomol, she was playing for the school in a netball match last night, which they won, and she didnt want to let the team down so she went and played...

Chloe has got an extremley high temperature which I cant get down - she has just her undies on (but dont tell her I told you ) and is lying on her bed feeling very sorry for herself..... have just put a DVD on for her to watch to try and take her mind away from it, she is feeling very dizzy too - have been giving her Ibruprofen and Calpol 2 hourly but its still not coming down, and the cool Mr Man to put on here head.

Lauren is just having a wag I think... she has a temperature but nowhere near as high - she told Andrew she wasnt feeling well so he said she could stay off too :( oh and what a surprise... he is away AGAIN.....not sure how Im going to get on today with the diet, was due to go shopping this morning, and my cupboards are like Old Mother Hubbards.... bare - think I will do a green day and go from there.....;)
