    150g onion
    3 cloves of garlic
    1 beef stock cube
    2 carrots (grated)
    Herbs and spices to taste

    METHOD:

    Pre-heat oven at 170 degrees.

    1. Brown mince and onion in a saucepan,
    2. Add garlic, stock cube and grated carrot and simmer with the lid on, on low heat for about 30 minutes
    3. Using a medium sized rectangular oven dish lightyly grease and place approx 1/4 of the lasagne mixture into the bottom of the oven tray. Over with a mountain bread sheet, continue until all sheets are used and finishing with a mountain bread sheet on top.
    4. Spread the ricotta cheese as the top layer on the lasagne and sprinkle with light tasty cheese.

    I made these protein balls the other day, they are so tasty. It isn't my recipe, its someone named Sophie Guidolin, but the recipe is really easy to turn into your own. I'm currently trying to find a way to bulk them out a little to lower the calorie count. I got it lower by halving the coconut and chucking in some puffed millet.

    Here is the original recipe

    Sophie Guidolin’s Amazeballs

    Preparation: 10 minutes, Cooking: 5 minutes, Approx. Total: 15 minutes

    Makes 6 at about 136

    INGREDIANTS
    1/2 cup of sultanas
    1/4 cup of almonds
    1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil
    1 teaspoon cocoa powder
    1/2 cup of shredded coconut
    Desiccant coconut (to roll the balls in)
    1 scoop of Isomorph protein powder- chocolate

    METHOD
    Using a food processor add all the ingredients except the desiccant coconut
    You will need to watch closely as it goes from being a dry mixture to being ‘too’ soft very quickly.
    However it will take around 5 minutes for the mixture to form, as the sultanas are where the moisture comes from.
    Once ready, make into balls and roll in the coconut.
    Keep fresh in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Lamingtons
    Serves: 20 | Prep time: 30 min | Cooking time: 20 min | 139 Calories per serve

    Ingredients

    4 Medium Raw Egg (204g)
    1/2 Cups Sugar (110g)
    275g Icing Sugar
    1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Bean
    Paste (2g)
    1/2 Cups Plain Flour (75g)
    1/4 Cups Cornflour (30g)
    1/2 Cups Cocoa Powder (40g)
    80g Grated Desiccated Coconut

    Method
    1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F), lightly grease and line a 16 x
    26cm (base measurement) baking tin baking paper.

    2. Place eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric
    beaters until thick and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating
    until sugar has dissolved. Gently fold in the sifted flour with a large
    metal spoon until just combined.

    3. Pour mixture into prepared tin, bake for 20 minutes, or until golden
    and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove,
    set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then remove from tin, set aside on
    a wire rack to cool completely. Remove paper and trim edges and
    carefully cut into 20 even squares.

    4. Combine cocoa powder and 140ml boiling water in a large bowl,
    stir until smooth. Add icing sugar, stir until sugar has dissolved.
    Working one at a time, skewer a square of cake on a fork and
    hold over bowl of icing. Spoon icing over to cover, letting any
    excess drip off. Sprinkle lightly with coconut. Set aside on a rack
    over a tray, until icing has set. Repeat with remaining cake to
    make 20 lamingtons.

    Tip: Make sure you beat the eggs well. The should rise to be four times the volume and this should take about 10 mins, if not more, with the electric beater! Also fold the flours in really gently, otherwise you will lose all the air you have just put in there…
