Onwards and Downwards Continues in October 2015
Hello all,
Welcome to this month's Onwards & Downwards. We welcome anyone serious about losing weight and we offer support and kind thoughts - not magic fixes, just sensible help.
Despite this Indian summer we are having autumn is well and truly here. This means soups and warming dishes.
Also Halloween is just around the corner and if you have children and grandchildren then the prospect of a night full of sugar rush and tantrums probably fills you with horror!
Here are a few treats for Halloween that may not be sugar free but certainly will not be filled with e-numbers:

Sweet and spicy pepitas popcorn balls, you could sub in the flavours you wanted or just make the balls plain and have dips on the table instead.

These sweet potato chips look yummy and you could add whatever dip or chutney or sauce you liked.
