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.

A light lunch

I fancied something summery today so I made my variation of a salad nicoise. I'm not too keen on olives so I missed those out and saved the points. We are going out tonight so I really needed something filling yet low points and tasty.


Green bean and tuna salad
Serves 1 - 3pts each

1/2 pack green beans trimmed
Handful of cherry tomatoes
Small can tuna in spring water
15g VLF WW mayo
5g grated Parmesan
1 medium egg
Balsamic vinegar
Salt
Pepper

Blanche the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes then place in cool water to refresh. Add to a bowl and add the halved cherry tomatoes. In a small dish mix the mayo, Parmesan and balsamic vinegar together to for a smooth dressing and drizzle over the beans and tomatoes. Flake the tuna and sprinkle on top of the beans. The egg can be dry fried, poached or boiled but the yolk should be soft enough to run out and add moisture to the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to serve.
