Hi All - I'm regularly putting up pics in the show me meals thread, so I thought I'd post in one place, with the actual recipes. I'll admit I'm not the best cook in the world so some are more take out cupboard and eat, rather than take out cupboard, blend, grill, combine,- eat!

    Ignore, was busy pasting info..so first recipe easy Chicken Curry - 263 cals (without rice)

    EasyChickencurry.jpg

    IMG_20130729_170531.jpg

    Chop peppers and onions and fry in flora cuisine/fry light/other low cal frying spray, add curry powder and garlic, fry for a couple of minutes. Add chopped chicken, approx 500ml of chicken stock (add more if you want it runnier) and tomato purée. Simmer until chicken is cooked (approx 7-10 mins). Serve with rice and garnish with coriander (fresh if you can get it but dried will do). I also like to add a little no fat greek yoghurt when I serve it.

    Prawn Laksa (not proper version, as made from store cupboard ingredients and had with rice not noodles) - 239 cals (just laksa no rice or noodles)

    Newprawnlaksa.jpg

    IMG_20130808_175032.jpg

    Chop onion and pepper and fry with chilli powder, lemongrass and ginger. Add prawns and add approx 250 ml veg stock. Simmer until prawns cooked, add coconut milk just before serving.
    Tip _ I would never use a whole tin of coconut milk, so I freeze the rest - seems to work perfectly well although consistency can look 'bitty' but it doesn't curdle. Serve with rice or noodles

    Tuna, cheese, marmite and gherkin tortilla - 416 cals

    Tunacheesemarmiteandgherkintortilla.jpg

    006.jpg

    Mix the tuna wit the mayo. Grate cheese on tortilla, then add Marmite, then out tuna mixture on top, finish with gherkins and microwave for 1 minute - gooey runny mess, but I love it. Tip - buy the tortillas and freeze them, 30 secs in microwave will defrost and slightly warm them.

    Toasted crusty roll with low low cheese, marmite and poached eggs - 438 cals (for 2 eggs/1 roll)

    Poachedeggsoncrustyrollwithlowlowcheeseandmarmite.jpg

    020.jpg

    Another favourite for brunch (can you see a Marmite theme - honestly i don't work fro them!).
    Fill shallow frying pan with water and bring to boil, break in 2 x eggs. Meanwhile split crusty roll in half, squish down and put in toaster (squished so it doesn't catch on the toaster). Poach the eggs (I don't add vinegar or anything, just hard simmer the water and splash the water over the yolks, fresh eggs help a lot). Take roll out of toaster, spread with low low (or philly) cheese, squirt of marmite (the squeezy bottles help here) and then spoon poached eggs on top.

    Home made tomato pasta soup - 316 cals

    Homemadetomatopastasoup.jpg

    IMG_20130620_170301.jpg

    Put tomatoes into saucepan and blitz with had held blender (or leave chunky, or use other method to blend them), add approx 1 litre of beef stock (I just use one oxo cube in hot water). Bring to boil and return to simmer, add in dried pasta and frozen veg. Add Worcestershire sauce and mixed or Italian herbs (sorry forgot the herbs on my recipe calculator). Simmer until pasta and veg are cooked.
    Serve with grated cheese and lots of black pepper.

    I love this idea! fantastic! can others add in this format too? Since I think this is way better than just showing the meals done up.

    Or are you thinking of this as more your own resource?
