Hi there, had some nice meals lately and I would like to share the recipes. Also, it would be nice if you all would like to join in as I am always looking for new food inspiration :smile:

1) Potato and cauliflower curry. Make a paste with the spices, chilli jam and tomato paste and stir in the ingredients depending on which ones need the longest cook. Add stock, cook down then add yoghurt at the end.
Serves 4 - 217 cals per serving.
Carbs - 27g / Fat 11g / Protein 7g (all per serving)

    I made a pretty simple eggplant "lasagna" that I thought came out tasty

    cut up one eggplant into thin slice. Put them on a baking sheet (probably a couple of baking sheets) drizzle a little olive oil, sprinkle a little salt and pepper and bake 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through

    then basically in a baking dish it's just layering the eggplant, a little cheese, sliced tomatoes, and some fresh spinach like you would a lasagna. Then bake for half an hour or so, so the cheese gets all bubbly and gooey and yummy

    Chicken Bruschetta (not mine, but super good and low in carbs, high in protein)

    Brown Rice with Black Bean, Corn & Tomato (vegetarian)

    This is my "go-to" easy and very nutritious recipe that I use all the time!!! It stores well in the refrig.
    You can eat it hot as it is, or cold. It makes a great filling for a wrap, or as taco filling (just add salsa); it can be a main course or use as a side salad. So here goes:

    3 cups of organic brown rice (cook according to package directions)

    Meanwhile, while the brown rice is cooking, ...Stir the following ingredients together in a medium/large bowl.

    I can rinsed organic black beans
    1/2 cup chopped onion (I use frozen chopped onions)
    1/2 to 1 cup frozen corn (individual preference)
    1 large tomato cut up ( or use 1/2 can of diced tomatoes drained)
    1 tbs cumin
    1 tsp chili powder (I like New Mexico chili powder).

    Add hot cooked rice to the ingredients and stir until well incorporated.

    Depending how you use this, you can add salsa, or cheese, or green chopped chilie, in spagetti sauce, wrapped in a flour burrito, in scrambled eggs....you name it!

    That sounds fantastic and easy to do - I'm going to try it this week :-)
