Strawberry and Raspberry - Summer Pudding

This is for all you foodies out there - I just love summer (not the constant rain!!), especially when the strawberries are ripe and juicy.

I visited the local fruit farm last week and had to buy some strawberries and raspberries and make a summer pudding. We usually eat a lot of strawberries in summer, but always with cream, so wanted to make something a bit different.

This is such an easy recipe - taken from Slimming World. All you need to do is mash the ripe fruit, add a little sweetener and set aside. Put some fromage frais into a bowl and add sweetener (according to your taste), then layer the fruit with the fromage frais - voila!

Is really is that simple. Even the hubby really enjoyed it. It's good enough for all the family and it doesn't add the inches on the hips ladies!!

Talking of weight, I still attend Slimming World and I am 1/2 pound away from my first stone.

Slimming World - Weigh-in Results

A quick post - tonight was weigh-in night. I have lost a further 2 pounds, and have to say that was a shock. I didn't think I had lost any weight and to be perfecty honest, was dreading the fact that I had to write on my blog about it! So I was utterly amazed that I had lost. Not because I had a particularly bad week, I have indulged in chocolate - well, it was Easter, but I wasn't overly indulgent. I enjoyed the chocolate (and cinnamon scone and chips....).

Total weight loss so far 9.5 pounds. Yippee.

Slimming World - Weigh-in Results

Just a quick post.

Weigh-in
I'm back from my weekly weigh-in and have stayed the same. Well, after losing 4 pounds last week, I couldn't expect much could I? I have had a good 'eating' week, if anything, I probably haven't eaten enough. With Slimming World, they encourage you to eat loads (of the right kind of food of course). Some of the advice doesn't make sense in theory, but in practice, it really does work. Well, I'll look forward to next week now. I think next week will be a toughy though as I have a few easter eggs to eat in the meantime! But I do not intend to splurge out too much because I've been good and don't want to undo what good I have done.

Glass Goodies
Sorry I haven't posted much glass work lately, I've been extremely busy concentrating on the Aviemore Trade Show. The exhibition is at the end of this month, and I've been frantically working away on new designs, which will be showcased at the trade show. Hopefully over the next few weeks, once my catalogue is printed, I will be showing off some of my designs.
