Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

- canned tuna and crackers

- strawberry rhubarb pie

- (dark) chocolate covered pistachios

- instant ramen

- jalapeño corn bread

Reminds me of being a student, buying end of day sale items and cobbling a meal together.

I did wonder why you needed to make a screwdriver ? did you forget a tin opener ? What did you make it from ? Then the bubble burst and I realised you meant a drink !

Hope it all goes smoothly for you.

It’s nearing winter here & we ‘re experiencing cold & drizzly days at the moment so made pea & ham soup in my slow cooker yesterday. Is supposed to be a bright pea green as it has fresh peas added to it at the end before pureeing it! Extremely filling and almost eat it with a fork thick.

I’m looking for some good soup recipes. Any to share?

I LOVE Pea soup, though I don't make it much because apparently I'm the only one in my family that does like it. Weirdos! ?

OMG it looks lush and I can almost taste it - almost making me wish for colder days. I'm a massive soup fan too ?
