    I am in no way trying to be disrespectful or ignorant... but I looked through this entire feed and only saw a couple things I would eat. Am I that picky? Perhaps it's b/c the foods I've been raised on weren't the healthiest and that pattern has lead me to where I am now.... hmmm.. :-/ Disappointing. Thanks for the awesome topic though and all the pics and ideas ~ it was enlightening! :)

    What is the recipe for the chicken and pea patties

    I used 2 large jacket potatoes, boiled and mashed, with a cup-ish of shredded chicken from last nights roast, a cup-ish of peas, some salt, papper, cayenne pepper and tumeric. Mix all together, shape into patties and I put them on baking paper on a tray and cooked until they were browning

    You could fry them for a crispier texture as they were not crisp on the bottom but I wanted to avoid that because of the oil. You might need to add flour and an egg to the mix to help bind them if you did them this way to help them stick together.

    I don't think it's disrespectful at all. That is one of the points of this thread. To show some alternatives to people. Being able to see something that looks interesting to you and give you one more option. Honestly, not everything here looks appealing to me. But a lot of it does and I will be stealing those ideas and using them to put a little variety in my meals. Everybody has their own likes and dislikes and their own level of risk taking in trying something new.

    Keep checking back and you may find something you like. In fact, tell us the kinds of foods you like and some of us may have suggestions on how to make a lighter version of it. Of course, some foods just need to be avoided (like bacon cheeseburgers) but maybe we can offer some suggestions.

    OK, so it isn't plated all that nicely, but I left it open so you can see what's in it. I had to eat some off the top to close the wrap. You could make it even fewer calories with a lower cal tortilla (mine was 110).

    I have a weight loss blog and have been taking photos of my meals for a few years now.
    These are some past photos and I don't have the nutritional info for them.

    The last photo is of homemade lentil stew over quinoa.
    I no longer eat quinoa or lentils but this meal sure was tasty at the time!

    -Why no more quinoa or lentils?

    I'd love the recipe! Quinoa and lentils are my fav!

    Strawberry / banana "ice cream", 184 calories.

    So it's not the prettiest... but it did taste good. It's actually higher in calories than a half cup of ice cream in my freezer. :ohwell: First time I made it was today. A medium banana in the food processor, with a few oz of orange juice, 3 strawberries and a splash of vanilla. Pulse, and voila. I think it could've used a bit of sweetener though... splenda, maybe? And to reduce calories I'll try almond milk next time.

    Mung bean, spinach and tomato spanish omelette, with lettuce and cucumber with a dash of balsamic vinegar and a bit of grated low fat cheddar. 295 for the plate. Delicious.

    My perception of spicy is probably different to most as I am a chilli a holic but no I don't think it was overly spicy. Just flavoursome.

    I disagree, Smiles. This looks pretty good to me.

    I am doing some meal planning now for a lake vacation that's coming up in a couple weeks. This dish may be one that the kids would enjoy making.

    Potato, chicken and pea patties, seasoned with cayenne pepper and tumeric for a little colour (using up some of yesterdays dinner leftovers! just got the chicken carcass to boil now to get some lovely stock), with roasted red/green peppers and carrots with garlic, and (home-made) red pesto hummus. I could only manage 1 and a half of the patties so in total what I ate came to 375. Very very reasonable as it tastes like it should be really fattening! Feel like I've been in the kitchen all day but it was defo worth it, my partner scraped his dinner plate clean and said "You HAVE to make this again" Haha.

    Those patties are something that I never would have thought of to do. I'll be giving them a try!

    I'd love to try the spanish omelette... recipe / instructions? It looks SO GOOD!

    You need a deep-ish frying pan.
    It depends what your filling is but I whisked 8 eggs with a splash of skimmed milk, this was enough to coat my filling with a little 'slop'. (Very technical can't you tell). Salt/pepper in it. I used a cup and a half of sprouted mung beans (unsprouted would be fine). A cup would be plenty but I wanted to use them up. I used most of a big bag of spinach. I used mine whole as I like it chunky but ran it under the hot tap in a colander just to wilt it a bit so it wasn't so bulky. You could chop it up to prevent this.
    I used 8 small tomatoes on the top but you can put them inside if you want them like that. I often put cheese on the top too but wanted to save on the calories today.
    I cook it on the hob (not sure what they're across the pond? ring burners?) until I can just see it started to set underneath the tomatoes, on a medium heat so it doesn't burn on the bottom. Once its a little bit 'wibbly', and not runny I finish it off under the grill (broiler I think?).

    My mum makes her with potato, chicken and feta, thats more of a frittata but still yummy too.
