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.

Toad-in-the-hole


We had toad-in-the-hole for dinner tonight. Not the most summery of dishes but then the weather is vile and I needed something warm and comforting. My lovely husband made these and they turned out to be real whoppers. The Yorkshire pudding was feather light and the sausages juicy. Served with mash, cabbage and onion gravy they were fantastic. The toads worked out at 2 pts each. Just follow my Yorkshire Pudding recipe and add a lowfat sausage as they go into the oven - you will need to use a bigger tin to cook them in though but the amount of batter used and therefore the points will stay the same.
