The Month Ahead
Happy New Year to you all! If you are anything like me, you will want to lose those few pounds that all the excesses of Christmas has brought so we have some great recipes which are calorie UN- loaded! Good luck!
A Recipe for Success
Roasted Butternut Squash
When it is in season, butternut squash is a tasty alternative to potatoes and great if you are on a diet.
Chicken & Vegetable Curry
If you are on a diet, this curry is great for the waistline - very low in calories and very filling.
Serve with brown rice or naan bread (if the calories aren't a problem!) and a Mint Raita to cool it down a bit!
Harradine Stuff
A very old family recipe, simple to make, spread it on bread, crumpets - anything you fancy - my favourite is to spread it on a long stick of celery or pile it up on warm toast - great for a snack when dieting as there are hardly any calories at all in it - just leave out the cheese!
Roasted Vegetables
A fantastic and healthy accompaniment to most meats and a change from the run of the mill vegetables.
Tomato, Chickpea & Basil Soup
This is a soup that Mel makes by the bucketful when she is watching her weight - as she is at the moment!! A tasty yet filling snack at any time and hardly any calories!
Homemade Fresh Fish Cakes
As a kid my mum would make fantastic fish cakes using fresh fish and I still use the same recipe today as we did then. This is also a good one if you are watching your weight as even though it has potatoes and a few breadcrumbs within, it is a filling meal - just serve with a pile of fresh salad leaves and baby tomatoes.
Stuffed Field Mushrooms on a Bed of Peppers
Field mushrooms are absolutely delicious and served with all the herbs and peppers make for a low calorie lunch or supper dish.
Jacket Bangers
A filled Jacket Potato is perfect if you are watching your weight - serve with low fat bangers and caramelised onions (done in no calorie oil of course)!
