If I’m at home I have more time which equals more choices. Often I’ll cook something like scrambled egg
with bacon medallions, Heck chicken sausages (1/2 a syn each), Linda McCartney rosemary
and caramelized onion sausages (free), turkey bacon sandwiches, omelets….there are loads
of options but when I’m in the office I eat at my desk so I generally have
cereal.
To me, life’s too short to weigh and measure cornflakes so I
used to have a couple of Weetabix with milk but found that as I’m working and
eating it can take a while to get through breakfast and my Weetabix got soggy
and set into this concrete like mass in the bowl. Not a great start to my day.
I’ve posted a few times about the Weetabix muffins, but I
think they’re great. I bake them fresh every
couple of days and am trying adding fruit and other flavours to see what works
best. One of the guys at work brought me
apples from his garden and it’d be rude not to use them so I just made apple
and blueberry muffins. I’ve only ever
used a single fruit and was interested to see how they’d work and they were
great! As I’ve said before, cooked
blueberries go a bit squidgy but it’s a really nice change and a hit with
slimming world and non-slimming world tasters alike…which means I feel a little
bit less like I’m on a diet – perfect!!!

| Blueberry & apple Weetabix muffins (at my desk!) |
For us SW people you are supposed to syn cooked fruit (I
refuse to, it’s silly!) but if you are, unlike me, very good there are no syns
in cooked blueberries and 100g of cooked apples = 1.5 syns. I used 1 apple in 4 portions of muffins so it’s
negligible anyway!!
