This was my delicious breakfast bowl this morning...
~
It looks a lot but there was only 1/2 a banana and 1/2 a pear in there and about 4 strawberries...

As you can see, most of it is zero points except for the muesli and maple flavoured syrup. I could do better with the muesli but you compromise on taste when you get into the really healthy muesli's and I'm sorry, I am not eating cardboard! I also realised (when I used the food scanner) that for 2 tsp real maple syrup, its still 2 points so I'll be using that in future. Anyway, it was delicious and took over 15 minutes to consume. I have walked 5 days this week, today being the longest at 2km in 19 minutes. I am no Usain Bolt, with rickety knees and sore feet, but I'll take that time as good and besides, I'm not racing anyone!

This beautiful thing arrived today - Merry Christmas to me from me! Gus and I didn't exchange presents at Christmas (because we did Kris Kringle with the kids) but we both had something in mind that we wanted. Anyhoo, time ran out so I ordered this online (and on sale) and he has a hankering to get a new black lidded Weber BabyQ so he'll get that soon.

I think with this black beauty, I should be able to get rid of every stupid fry pan and skillet lurking in my cupboard. Even my electric fry pan can go. This can be used to fry, wok stir fry and casserole. Together with my big blue le Creuset, that should be all I need. I will still have a tiny little skillet for scrambled eggs for two and another cheapy for making my flatbreads in at high heat but the rest - adios!
I'm thinking I might even be able to make some Southern style biscuits in there!
Cheers - Joolz xx
