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.

BLT


The classic BLT has to be one of my all time favourite sandwiches. It is such a winning combination, the salty smokeyness of the bacon, the juicy sweetness of the tomato and the crunch of the lettuce. This all combines with the bread and creamy mayo to give a total taste and texture sensation.

I have switched from WW bread to the new crustless bread, it works out at 1.5 points for two slices but is much denser and it toasts very well.

Low Fat BLT
Serves 1 - 2.5 pts

2 slices of bread
2 bacon medallions
(I prefer smoked)
lettuce
(I use little gems)
Vine ripened tomato sliced
(you have to be able to TASTE it!)
Hellman's extra light mayo
(this has to be 5g or it's not free)

Cook the bacon, spread the bread with the mayo and make the sandwich.
