Talking dirty!!

I've had four nights of insomnia, but then two nights ago, apart from my usual loo visits, I slept for 9 hours! But it seems sleeping that long isn't good either! The day before yesterday Dh and I abandoned going out, as I was so late waking. 

We sat together 'wool gathering' on the side of the bed and then we talked 'dirty!!  What about, food of course!!!...'the dirty word,' as it can be difficult to think of something that's the SW food plan and not just the usual. Evening meals need to be filling, otherwise we feel like picking! But our grapes are still going strong, and they're very tasty to eat in an evening, so not so bad to eat lots of.


But we had this as our meal with our left over chicken.

Using up left over chicken for 2

Cold cooked chicken cut into chunks (Approx: 2 breasts)
2 Rashers of bacon, fat removed and chopped and lightly grilled
1/2 Cauliflower, chopped up
1/2  Onion, chopped up, not too small.
Small handful of broccoli chopped up.
Par boil veg and onion
150 g. pasta twists.. cook.

Make cheese sauce

In 150ml milk add 50g grated cheddar cheese, heat till cheese melts, add tsp mustard, tsp garlic granules and stir in tbs corn-flour.. till thickens and boils,  season to taste.
Pour over chicken, bacon, veg and pasta.. stir and heat through thoroughly and just before serving sprinkle on last 10g cheese.

It was delicious and very filling (For SW it was 1.5 syns for the corn-flour, cheese is the Healthy A choice) For dirty talking it was wow!

I've noted that way of making cheese sauce, I've always done the roux method, like for a white sauce.

You are right, never pays to go to bed hungry. First you can't sleep well and all you think about is how much food can you eat getting up the next morning. I would say you had a very nutritious and filling meal out of this recipe.

I had a grape vine growing in the back yard and I had to get rid of it. The crows always beat us to the grapes!
