Fab Bakin’ Boys Birthday Treat!

Fabulous Bakin’ Boys recently launched their Fabulously Fruity Birthday Treat so that parents/grandparents of children aged 5 – 11 can nominate their child to win Fruit ‘n Oat slices for their whole class on their birthday.

I was a stranger to Fab Bakin’ Boys until recently we were sent a selection of these Fruit ‘n Oat slices to review. I was most impressed; these slices are moist yet firm enough to provide a satisfying snack, and have a layer of fruit which counts as one of your 5-a-day (talk about having your cake and eating it!!). Ideal in packed lunches or with a cuppa!

One winner will be selected per week at random to win the prize and entering is quick and easy, just fill out this simple form!

Don’t delay, get your child’s entry in today, (entries must be made at least three weeks before the birthday date)- it certainly won’t hurt in the class popularity stakes!

Fat Club #4! Egg-white Omelettes

And the winner of the Slimmer Of The Century Award goes to………….

Ok not yet – but I am rather pleased with myself. Another 1.5lb off. That’s a loss of 8.5lb in 3weeks

Week 1– 5lb off

Week 2 – 2lb off (7lb total – so half a stone which meant I got a shiny number 7 sticker!)

Week 3 – 1.5lb off

Next week I want to lose at least 1.5lb as 1.5lb off will take me to my next target – having lost 5% of my weight. That’s a good first goal!

This week my saving grace has been egg white omlettes. Egg white is point free (though any oil you use to cook with isn’t remember!) and whipped up makes pretty much the same consistency omelette as a full egg does and tastes lovely. It’s be a majorly hectic week and when you’re busy you tend to “grab” something to eat and don’t always choose most sensibly but an egg-white omlette is quick, filling and low on points so you can play about more with fillings, accompaniments and puds!

*Don’t waste the yolks – I add milk and a full egg to mine and Roy uses that for scrambled egg or an omelette of his own.

My favourite fillings for the omelettes this week have been extra light soft cheese & chives with chopped wafer thin ham and for a real cheesy sticky treat, a low cal (processed) cheese slice with lots of mushrooms!

I hope everyone else has had a good week – and if anyone has any recipes or quick fixes like my egg-white omelette they want to share- please do!! The more to choose from, the easier it is to stay motivated!
