okay...

so, ive come on here, started calorie counting and have quickly figured veggies are not very many calories so if im hungry (which i am 99% of the time, then i have to cook for myself more. I have just made a really easy 370 calorie meal that actually filled me up (im shocked!!!). Only thing is that it took 45mins-1hr in oven so its great so long as you can wait a little (yes... i did have some strawberries while waiting!!)

use crockery pot (same type you'd use for lasagne).
line bottom with half courgette sliced.
sprinkle 1/4 chopped leek on.
sprinkle 1/3 med-large red bell pepper on.
sprinkle small spring onion chopped on.
line top with sliced mushrooms.
pour in 150ml elmlea single cream substitute and 150ml water.

bake 30-40mins.

sprinkle on 30g mature cheddar

bake 5-15 mins (dependant on preference of cheese)

enjoy the whooollle thing!!!!

    Isn't it great when you realise how much veg you can have? I'm the same! Since I gave up smoking, I've developed a real taste for Boost chocolate bars (305) calories, but I've swapped them for veg and my tea tonight consisted of

    2 Chicken, Bacon & Sweetcorn Crispy Pancakes
    Sainsbury's - Special Mixed Vegetables, 350 g (this is loads when it's poured on the plate too!)
    Bisto - Cheese Sauce, 50 ml


    428 calories in total, and I'm done for the evening!!

    Hahaha!! I recognised every ingredient, and I'm British...quite a nice change actually, cos I never recognise half of the US foods listed on here! :laugh:

    Courgette is zucchini here in the States. Elmlea is a brand name. Single cream is kind of like whipping cream (as opposed to double cream that is more like heavy cream). Cheese is cheese. Sounds delicious!

    courgette is a British or Australian name for zucchini, and elmlea single cream substitute, is like a lite whipping cream, I think.

    Thanks for the translation, lol! Whipping cream on this sounds gross, I thought maybe it could be sour cream but I googled it, its half and half.

    It sounds like a veggie gratin! I bet it would be good with half-and-half.
