Happy New Year!!!
Finally the Christmas decorations are down and 2018 is now in full swing
If you are looking for tips on what to do with any remaining Christmas leftovers remember you can freeze more than you think:
  • Cheese can be frozen and used in sauces throughout the year. 
  • Christmas pudding and cake can also be frozen if they are starting to get a bit dry. 
  • Chocolates are great chopped up or melted on ice cream for the kids.
I mentioned in my last blog before Christmas that in trying to lower my cholesterol after a visit to the doctors I also dropped nearly a stone in weight.  I am now back on track with a New Year's resolution to lose another stone before the Summer! Bumping into a nutritionist on a train on the way to work in early November has really changed the way I approach food.
I now only eat complex carbs i.e. mixed grained bread, porridge and rice.  If I cook with oil it is always Olive Oil. 









I have cut out the lattes and use soya or almond milk as an alternative to cows milk from time to time.
This week when in the supermarket I picked up some reduced over ripe fruit and made a large jug of smoothie.  This helps fight off winter colds and flu bugs as well as helps with any sugar cravings.

I have also replaced nibbling on crisps on a Saturday night to nibbling on nuts and raisins or some of my roasted tomatoes with extra large olives. Proving you can live on a budget, eat well and lose weight!!!
