Last night it was left over cold roast beef (from Sun) homemade red cabbage with apples and my own chips (SW variety).  We then had stewed rhubarb and low fat custard.

Tonight it's going to be sausages, because I've just taken them out of freezer and I'll go from there.

hope i am not out of order posting on this link, maybe its run its course, but tonight i did crispy chicken breasts with mushy peas and oven chips, now neither of us like oven chips but as other half has recently been told he has diabetes we are trying to eat healthier soo does anyone have ideas of healthier chips if there is such a thing as he doesnt want to give up everything he enjoys

Hi Kerrieann - is there anything helpful on the Diabetes Uk site - this is the recipe part http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Recipes/  Here's the chip one http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Recipes/Fab_fish_chips_and_peas/?nt=1

I can remember my mum having great trouble getting her head round what she should and shouldn't eat - she developed stage diabetes at the age of 53.

We don't eat a lot of chips. I like to do wedges. Heat a very little olive or rapeseed oil in an oven tray and put it in to heat. Cut large potatoes into wedges and put into the very hot oil. Scatter some sea salt or paprika over and bake until crispy and golden.
As you know my hubby is diabetic too.

It's a bit of a challenge to start with but become a way of life. I really don't think our diet has suffered and we all eat the same things.

We have also cut down and only have on chips once a week. Don't have anything fried anymore.  Just need to cut down on cakes, chocolate and crisps now.

My hubby eats a lot of fruit. Naturally sweet so it fills the gap that a pudding did. Bananas are great. Slow release and good for you. Also porridge for breakfast. Brown bread not white. Salads are difficult at this time of year but there are lots of winter veggies.
Has your hubby got a bit of weight to loose ?

No, he isn't overweight at all. We are just trying to eat healthier.
He easily has his 5 a day, I usually have about 3.

We had roast beef, Fen potatoes chopped into wedges cooked in the oven and peas on top.  Yummy.
Did I have my 5 yesterday - nope

I chop Mediterranean vegetables with potatoes, add tomatoes paste, olive oil , a little balsamic vinegar sometimes some Pesto and roast in the oven until crisp, really good to eat as a main dish with chunky bread or added to some protein.

Other times I blend the roasted vegies and make  a sort of pate and store in large jar in the fridge, its great as a topping on fish or chicken, or on toast.

Sounds nice SL but I couldn't have my 5 a day all at once. Lol

Fish Pie - from the freezer. Will probably have peas as well.
We had intended to go out for lunch today, but BT decided to make us wait in to get our phone fixed

Cold beef from yesterday
Mashed spuds and frozen peas

I've just made a nice pot of chilli con carne which we're having with white boiled rice - should be brown to be healthier but hey ho

Cottage pie. There is only hubby and I in tonight but I have made enough for six. Two for mum to be frozen, one for daughter to take to halls also frozen and yet another for son to have later tonight when he gets in.

Our meals often end up like that.
