The first challenge

I find the weekends unbelievably hard. I think it's the temptation of being at home and the opportunity to cook yummy things and indulge my love of baking.

So far this has gone ok. I've had to do some damage limitation as we've had a trip to the cinema and then lunch out. Now it's Easter weekend and I have to face all the chocolate (although have specifically requested NO Easter eggs for me) and cakes/puddings etc.

I'm cooking tomorrow and it's roast lamb with roast potatoes and plenty of vegetables. I have my lovely slush fund points that I can use if I fancy a treat - Pimms anyone ?! On a particular forum I use the WW girls there have referred to their 49 points as their "lush" fund !!

Tonight however it's the first BBQ of the season. I am a total carnivore so for me a BBQ is my idea of heaven, with some token salad on the side. I love the crispy skin on marinated chicken thighs, burgers in buns and juicy, sizzling sausages. Need I go on ? Then it's the inevitable alcohol that goes along with it and ... well man I'm in trouble !

So tonight while my kids and husband have sausages in buns I'm having chicken breast marinated in Nando's sauce with a few Jersey Royals and a large salad. You may now have figured why this blog is named the Foodie's Diet ?!

So, what about the Pimms ?? At 2pp for a measure, don't mind if I do !
