Woke up to sunshine, which was not what the forecast had promised! Enjoyed a bit of a lie in drinking 3 cups of tea made for me by my lovely husband!
After my shower, I decided to make the most of it and ventured out into the garden to water all the pots, hanging baskets, vegetables. Deadheaded some of the flower and the roses. Weeded around our coriander which was being threatened with being overtaken with chickweed. An easy weed to pull up, but left to itself, it will quickly take over and then my coriander will be no more!
Once these little jobs were complete, it started to rain and there were a couple of thunderclaps - so I came back inside - time for brunch!
Three Cumberland chipolatas and half a tin of plum tomatoes with a slice of granary bread and butter (445 calories) and a cup of freshly ground coffee.....
I then prepared a chicken casserole using chicken thighs and Chantenay carrots, onion and a packet of Colemans Chicken Casserole mix. That went into the slow cooker and we'll enjoy tomorrow with some homegrown new potatoes and green beans. There are four skin on thighs - if we have one each, the recipe works out at 246 calories.... but we may well eat 2 if they're not that meaty!
I then set to work on an Aubergine Parmigiana - loosely based on this recipe: theguardian.com/lifeandstyl...
Just worked out the calories - 363 calories a portion (made enough for three portions). That's going to be our dinner for tonight with a green salad.
Here's my detailed recipe: flidfit.com/2017/08/05/aube...
The sun is now shining again! I may go for a little wander down the garden and enjoy it!
Hope you enjoy the Aubergine Parmigiana, looks nice and already having tomorrows meal made too
