About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Cheese and Ham Pitta

This is a very substantial snack that is ideal for a quick lunch or supper. I cook mine on a griddle pan as I think it gives a better result and I love the criss cross effect that it gives. Food that looks good definately tastes better and these look fantastic don't you agree?


Cheese and Ham Pitta

Serves 1 - 3.5 pts each

1 Pitta bread
1 Lowfat cheese slice
1 Slice of lean ham cut into strips

Using a very sharp knife split the pitta. Add the cheese slice and the sliced ham. Place onto a pre-heated griddle pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the cheese has melted and the pitta is coloured and crisp.

To save points use finely sliced onion instead of the ham. This works well with any filling that you would normally make into a toasted sandwich. I like tuna mayo and onion and pizza which uses a slice of cheese, tomato puree and mixed herbs plus any free toppings such as mushrooms and peppers. Pizza for 3 points? Can't be bad.
