Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

I am a complete McD's nut. BUT I only eat the Spicy cajun chicken burger. I hate their 'beef' burgers, it tastes like dog food. And I only like their chips when they are piping hot, otherwise they go all rubbery. We used to have it twice a week, now we are lucky if we have it once a month.

We also prefer making our own burgers. I love adding some grated parmesan and fresh herbs to the patties PLUS I know I'm using the best mince I can afford. No dog mince etc. GROSS! And we never even have chips with it because it's so filling.

Vix, I am giving that Antony Worrall Thompson book away next week on my blog. I received 5 books from Penguin to giveaway on my site.


Ok, so the shopping is done, just baked the gluten-free spinach muffins (and they are surprisingly freakin awesome). I really didn't think gluten-free could be this yum. Now just need to bake the Greek Easter cookies and the lemon yoghurt mini-cakes and then I'm on track. Sorted out most of the crap on my dad's side too and made a beautiful flower arrangement for the dining room table. Now I just need to prepare for the lunch tomorrow and I'm a for away!

Simone please re post the potato salad i want to make that, with a green salad and grilled barbaque chicken tonight without the skin. Yummy just to think about it.

All this healthy food talk is what i need my tummy is proof that i have been eating all the wrong food stuff.

Lisha- yeah i think that would be nice! a little basket with different treats, much more thoughtful that a box of quality street from the spar LOL Thanks!

Simone- i will go look for it now!

lol funny that. Need to go out and get something to eat now.

I weigh 49kg now. Yip put on a few so want to get back to my ideal weight of 48 but guess what. Last time I checked my cholesterol it was 6!!! They have found that skinny people may not be healthy at all!!!

It's all about fat around the tummy area. This is what you want to get rid of.

I can eat loads of anything that I enjoy. If nothing nice to eat I won't eat anything.

Vix wanted to say maybe you can do small basket with dried fruit, chocolates, nuts etc Not sure if your doc is perhaps a vegetarian or a hindu that doesn't eat beef so then biltong will be out of the question.

Vix if you have a recipe that is low fat, etc...please give it to me. I just had the weigh less oats cookies...and I am sure homemade would be so much better!

I am already so used to eating like this now..even eating out is not such a nightmare for me. I stick to what I know I can have...grilled protein, baked potato and salad and veggies.

I have a nice recipe for mocha squares from my low gi book....but havent tried it yet. Once i try it i'll send to you guys if its nice.

Vix it's awesome that you are having such a healthy TWIN (STILL CANT FREAKIN BELIEVE IT!!!) pregnancy!

Okay ladies will be off now. Got Addy's dermatologist appointment moved forward to today. My endocrinologist appointment was also moved forward to next week...both were supposed to be after pay day...heaven help me for this expense now!!!!! Will see what medical aid will pay me back!!!!

Simone that's where you're mistaken. Okay I am what YOU refer to as skinny but if we did cholestorol tests I may come out with a danger zone level and you may be fine. You'd be surprised at how many 'skinny' young people I know that have had heart attacks. And our indian style cooking is terribly unhealthy because of the oil and fat in it so a good salad first to off set the bad is totally welcome.

Ladies I think I have a smaller stomach than you guys because I could never eat even a quarter packet of biscuits lol. I'm full after maybe 3 or so but it depends on the type of biscuit. Have to admit though that I can eat a big packet of Chipniks or half a tin of Pringles in one sitting.

Okay now I feel for a burger and prior to that I was craving a veg lasagne lol.
