Have you got any leftover veg from yesterday?
If so, you could make some bubble and squeak. It can be as calorific as you like it- I personally make mine with just vegetables plus a bit of leftover meat, but you could add a spot of fried bacon/gravy/use mashed potatoes etc.
Mash your carrots/potatos/sweet potato/swede/parsnips (I use carrot mash normally) down to begin with and then add to the pan a small drizzle of oil plus a 1/4 of an onion. Fry the onion until it's soft and then add in your mash plus extra veg (so, cabbage, peas, broccoli, coli etc) and make sure it's all mixed up together. Season to taste - the other half likes chilli flakes in his - then fry it until you're sure it's completely reheated and it's slightly brown around the edges.
I normally serve this alongside a bit of leftover chicken, but I have thrown the chicken in before (which was yummy- but had the consistency of baby food, so beware). I have also thrown in a small spot of gravy whilst it's frying and this turned out in a wetter, but delicious mix.
Bar that, there's always chicken stir vegetable stir fry, chicken and noodle soup, chicken salad etc or you could even try making a chicken pie (minus the pastry if you wanted it to be healthier). I like topping my pot pies with roasted carrots.0 -

I always make chicken fajita pittas. Just pan fry onions, peppers, mushrooms and chicken with one cal and a sachet of Discovery fajita mix (that's relatively low sugar content) with a squeeze of BBQ sauce (optional) then serve in WeightWatchers Pitta breads with iceberg lettuce, tomato salsa and refried beans.
Super quick and easy and V filling.0 -
Thanks for the suggestions! :happy:0
