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.

Chinese Style Mushroom Soup


My husband has a sore throat so I made him a batch of soup. It is points free and very tasty with a beautifully aromatic broth. The garlic and chilli make it a good decongestant too.

Chinese Style Mushroom Soup
Serves 2 - 0 pts per serving

1/2 lb mushrooms sliced
1 chicken stock cube
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes
1/4 teaspoon five spice powder
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce

Stick it all in a pan and cook until the mushrooms are soft. You could liquidise but I prefer the chunkyness.
