Tonight's dinner literally made me so happy. It was pure, 100% comfort food.
What's was it?
Sausage (quorn), mash, gravy and lots of greens.
The funny thing about this dinner was the most comforting, childhood memory part of the dinner was actually ... the mash!
I can't remember the last time I had mash and it was soooooo nice. I took a slightly unconventional approach as I actually used new potatoes which were in the veg drawer but, as I've just discovered, this actually makes really nice mash! Personally, I'm a big fan of skin-on mash so I just chopped the new potatoes in half, boiled them, added salt, pepper and some butter and roughly mashed them.
Pure. Home. Childhood. Comfort.
Better still, although the dinner was a little heavier on points than my usual dinner (12 points) I had enough points to cover it all, so have managed two absolutely bang-up perfect days in a row.

I made a New Year's resolution that 2009 would be the year I would finally get healthy ... with the aim of losing 70lbs. That journey was the start of changing many things in my life for the better ... and I'm still on the journey!

Nothing beats good old bangers and mash - one of my absolute faves!
Good on you for being on a roll - long may it continue.
