The last couple of nights we have had soups with crusty rolls in a bid to cut down on the size of our evening meals (me, the missus and my son that is), but oddly, rather than this being almost a punitive experiment, the kids love it and want soup every night for the rest of their lives and the missus and myself have felt just as sated as we did with a big pasta or curry?
So that part of the diet is going ok, all I need now is to stop munching on chocky bikkies and panettone all day...
