ABCC slaw with honey fire cider dressing...

Thursday started off with a bowl of porridge.  This time I chopped up an apple and cooked it in the porridge.  Have you tried the new (to me) Kanzi apples? Lovely and sweet and crunchy...

It took an extra minute to do the porridge, so 4 x 1 minutes all up.

~

This was so good!

Lunch time rolled around and I tried a new ABCC slaw idea. I bought this little hand chopper in KMart for $6 and hoped it would do the trick.  Gather Apple, Beetroot, Carrot and Cabbage, chop into small pieces then whiz it in the chopper...

~

It did a good job. Chop coarser or finer depending how you like it.  Shred it all if you want.  It can also have ginger in it also but I didn’t have any.

~

That has got to be good for you!

Now, I’ve seen a few clips on YouTube where people make Fire Cider.  It is apple cider vinegar with turmeric, ginger, garlic and chilli and horseradish infused in it.  I happened to spy a bottle of the Macro brand in Woolworths so I thought I’d try it.  This 500ml bottle was $6.00.  I made a dressing with 1 tbsn vinegar and 1 tspn pure honey to put on my slaw.

~

The idea with fire cider is to drink it to ward off any lurgies.  It certainly packs a punch!  The bottle suggests mixing with hot water and honey or just take a shot of it with honey.  I love it!

This is the plate I had for lunch.   Probably a bit heavy on the ham but it’s no good if I’m hungry soon after lunch.

  That is the other half of the apple that’s in the slaw and some cheddar cheese.  Next time, I’ll make sure I have a cold boiled egg to add to the plate so I can have less ham for a 6 point lunch.

I usually sit and watch a YouTube video of one of my subscribed channels.  Homesteading, weight watching, decluttering, cleaning, hoarding are my favourites.  That slaw with dressing was delicious and I can see myself making it regularly.

~

This was how lunch scored - as I said, probably should have halved the ham! 

~

I am finding the WW magazines great inspiration and they have really good recipes.  Available at supermarkets...

~

I decided to make this for dinner.  I used about 300gms potatoes and added about the same weight in cauliflower to lower the carbs.  Mashed together with the yoghurt, it topped off the pie nicely...

~

Gus’s serve...

~

...and mine.  Really nice flavours.  There are leftovers for lunch tomorrow... 😊

I have been walking 2 km on the treadmill each morning, easing into it.
