A busy week...

I ordered a Kangaroo Island Relief Hamper through Hamper Emporium - I am really pleased with it for the price.  I paid $100 and I think it is great value.  The wine is a $30 bottle, the shampoo and conditioner are $42/set, 2 x olives at $7.95 ea, olive oil $12.95, rolled oats $6.00, plus the other items so well over $100.  They also give a donation to the KI Mayors Fund...

We've started doing Meatless Mondays.  This is a Moroccan Lentil Shepherd's Pie, quite delicious and ZERO points.  The roast pumpkin topping was delicious!

~

I served it with steamed greens, also 0 points...

~

I also had enough for 2 lunches to freeze...

~

The weather has been odd of late...very humid with chilly mornings, quite foggy.  Just look how green the park lands are now, after that big rain we had.

Tuna Tuesday meant I needed to search the WW app to find a recipe.  These are Tuna mornay vegetable bakes...

~

Husband declared it the best tuna morney he's ever had...not sure if he was joking or for real but they certainly were tasty...

~

Muesli, fruit and half a serve of yoghurt for breakfast...

I did a comparison of these 2 blueberry yoghurts I had in the fridge.  Bearing in mind the Dairy Farmers is not a low fat one but it just goes to show how you can cut back by using a low fat option.

~

The Chobani one is 170 gms and 5 points and the DF one is 150 gms and 9 points.

Chobani - total Fat 0.3, Sat. fat 0.2, Sugar 16.7, Kjs 564.4 and Protein 13.6 

D/F - total Fat 9.3, Sat. fat 6.0, Sugar 20.2, Kjs 822 and Protein 5.7

Wednesday night, I was a bit over everything so just coated chicken breasts in a crumb coating and baked until tender.  Servied with roasted potatoes, pumpkin and zucchini and sweet corn...

~

On my morning walk, I noticed these shrubs which were bursting into bloom...

~

I have been told they are Crepe Myrtles, something I'd heard of but never seen in flower...lovely!

~

Yummy porridge again...

~

Put my car through the car wash on Thursday...

~

My nephew gifted us a crayfish so I made 3 salads to enjoy with it.  It was delicious!

~

Friday morning, the horizon was cloudy at sunrise, quite spectacular...

~

Ugh!  I tried Woolworths Macro Linseed & Sunflower 85% Lower Carb bread - husband complained about it, saying it was not good.   I thought he was a bit whingy until I tried it.  I think eating cardboard would've have more taste.  I actually cut off the crusts so I could chew it!  I did not enjoy it with my eggs at all!  Never again!

~

...and after saying my tomatoes would never ripen, I finally had a red one!

~

I picked it but it wasn't very juicy...

~

We headed off to Adelaide for the weekend.  A special Valentines Day for us and wedding venue hunting on Sunday...the bride and groom think they've found the spot!
