So awesome! Here is how it works. You will need to order the eggs benedict from Lite N Easy, of course. They will supply you with the Ciabatta Toast, spinach, egg, bacon, and hollandaise sauce with a lovely recipe card.

You will also need –

An egg poacher, spray on cooking oil.

Use the spray on cooking oil on your egg poacher thingy so it will easily fall out of the egg poacher thingy – note my awesome use of technical terms here! :)

Toast your ciabatta toast carefully without exploding the toaster or any other kitchen appliances. While toasting, put the bacon in the microwave for 1min20. Once ciabatta toast is ready, carefully layer on your spinach.

Now me, I like to put hollandaise under the bacon. It makes it less easy for the egg to slip off and land in your lap.

Lay your bacon on top of the hollandaise-y spinach.

You will have plenty of spinach left over so you might want to layer on some more on top of the bacon.

I could have put on several more layers, in fact.

Put your poached egg on top of the creation we have been creating.

Put some hollandaise on top of the egg.

Now you will want to be very careful. You may choose to change into items which do not get upset if they are dripped on. However if you are careful you may not drip any hollandaise or egg yolk. Just like how some people manage to eat a Hungry Jacks whopper without dripping tomato sauce and mayo everywhere.

This item you have spent some time creating will last mere nanoseconds, because it is so nommy and then you will also wish you were back on the 1500 calories because *you get two of them* instead of just one. And this makes me wonder, if you are on the 1800 calories, do you get three? I could eat three, but probably not in one sitting. Not these days anyway.

Believe me this eggs benedict is EPIC on several levels. The levels of epic awesomeness cannot be described sufficiently in just words and pictures. When this is on the menu, *must order it*.

Cheesy Chicken & Macaroni Bake –

This was very tasty and cheesy. Could do with a little more chicken and some of the sauce from the Mac N Cheese dinner..

Apple Crumble –

This is must re-order but I would do it in the 4 pack of just the apple crumble, and a 4 pack of just the apple and raspberry crumble, because I did not like the rice pudding from the assorted pack. I have not tried the apricot crumble yet – am looking forward to it!

Pumpkin Soup –

Ugh. Not a fan. But you should know that I make an incredible vegetable soup so I am quite a soup snob. This was quite watery and not very sweet. It is only 64 calories.

Nut Cluster Crunch –

This seems like they took several of the cereals and combined them into one. I could taste cinnamon in there. I quite liked it.

Mexican Chicken Stack –

This was much better than the Tortilla Stack on the dinner menu – full of veg & beans and some kind of slightly cheesy sauce as well as the tomato sauce with the mince. Absolutely gorgeous. If this were on the dinner menu I would order it every week. It was 236 calories at the small lunch size so I think this could easily be made into a dinner. Rather than the tortilla it has lavash bread.

General update –

Just got the next delivery and for the first time ever have chosen popular for every single lunch meal, and virtually every meal for breakfast – on Day 5 I chose the optional choice. The Eggs Benedict is back next week NOMS I would have that for breakfast every single day.

I picked some new dinners this week – Crumbed Chicken, Roast Chicken, Salt N Pepper Chicken.

I am loving the strawberry jam on the toast. So much more me than Apricot or Marmalade.

The Other Half got fed one of the dinners this week – Rigatoni – which he quite liked. He would not eat a lot of the meals due to being allergic to a lot of items including various vegetables.

I don’t eat much in the way of red meat but if any of the Lite N Easy people reading this order the red meat stuff and want to give me a photo and their review of it, I will be happy to post that – or if you post it on your blog I will link to it. You might even talk me into trying it if the meat cuts are good enough.

Getting back to the gym this week after a week off thanks to bad shift times and Christmas Dinners. I went tonight after work and on top of the 30 mins of cardio spent some time on the abs.

Caesar Salad with Chicken & Smokehouse Ham and Creamy Dressing

OMG THE NOMS THE NOMS this was totally awesome on so many levels! The chicken and ham was heated in the microwave for a short time. I sliced the egg with an egg slicer and took out the tomato – not a fan of cherry tomatoes at all. The chickens love them, though.

Then put it all together, the sliced egg, the chicken and ham, the salad dressing.. gorgeous.

Soy Chicken Tender with Thai Salad and Hoisin Dressing

This was also excellent. The salads are such a great option and so filling.

Chicken with Satay Sauce

This does not look especially appetising but it was very tasty. I had tried the old version – they have a new recipe now. The new one is a lot more pea-nutty. I enjoyed it and will order it again.

Apricot Almond Bar

Great snack. This had everything one could want with the exception of cinnamon – I am too used to the cinnamon oat bars so the lack of cinnamon was notable. It would have gone incredibly well with this, I think.

Strawberries with vanilla bean yoghurt. :)

Strawberries (large) are 12 cals each. Yoghurt was less than 100 calories (I only used a few spoonfuls out of the 170g tub).

The Lite N Easy is some of the most tasty yoghurt I have experienced but obviously, I didn’t have any of that on me. So I had bought some of the Five Am Vanilla Bean yoghurt that day at the supermarket. I’d have to say this is the best yoghurt you can get in the supermarket.

Melted Cheese (55Cal) and Tomato(10cal) on a toasted Multigrain Muffin (154Cal) = 219

Swapped out the tomato for avocado – no cheese, just black pepper. Very tasty! Oops, out of focus pic.. :(

Thai Fried Rice with Chicken (226Cal)

This was pretty good. An awful lot of green beans. Could have done with more egg.

Things without photos – sorry was busy today didn’t get around to taking pics.

Seasonal Fruit (76Cal)
Peach Fruit Cup (80Cal)
Vanilla Yoghurt (125Cal)

The yoghurt is some of the best yoghurt I have ever had. Tangy, zingy, with a great Vanilla flavour.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks = 726

Dinner – Sweet N Sour Chicken (428 cals)

Again, this was excellent. Still up there on the list of top Lite N Easy meals for me.

So, next week I’ll just be posting the new stuff on the menu – no need to subject you to endless repeat photos and pics of fruit. ;)

A short update today, very tired, my apologies!

Cheesy Ham & Tomato Omelette (130Cal)

Very tasty as always.. :)

Wholegrain & Oat Toast (166Cal) with Marmalade (37Cal) = 203

Used the honey from yesterday instead of the marmalade. There was another toasting incident. The bread got stuck in there. I’m so over toasting!

Pasta Carbonara (291Cal)

This was new. It was ok. It did not rock my world. I love a pasta carbonara, so the lack of awesome was disappointing.

Orange (55Cal)
Dried Apricots (62Cal)
Green Apple (75Cal)

Skipped all of these for some substitutions today. I was meaning to get a post up about that but I just ran out of time, sorry!

Total breakfast & lunch – = 816

Chicken Tikka Masala (424cal)

Still love this. The sauce is so flavorful and the sultanas pack that sweet boom in among the savory awesomeness.

Has been a long couple of days for me and today the dog next door was just barking all morning so I didn’t get a good sleep. :(
