your dinner?

i think tonight it is shepherds pie, well thats what i've bought stuff to make, but my other half is cooking tonight so it could be anything, i bought stuff in last sunday (he cooks on a sunday if i'm working, its the only time he does :grumble: ) and somehow came home to a chinese take away!! and even if he does do the shepherds pie its going to have all sorts of extras in it and probably half a block of cheese on the top, despite him knowing i'm trying to loose weight, i'll also be lucky to learn what any of the extras are as he never tells me, needless to say i'm having a very small lunch just in case

I made lentil, spinach and ricotta pies. Ate one and saved the rest for another day. I have a little pie maker so it's easy with that but you can easily make in a little pie dish or make a big one and just have one piece.

I use 2 sheets of vegan fat reduced pastry, 1 can of organic lentils, can of crushed or finely diced tomatoes, about 4 tbls light ricotta and some baby spinach. Makes 4 pies, with some filling and pastry left over.

I cook the drained lentils in a pan (no oil) with a can of tomatoes. Add whatever herbs I feel like from the pantry or garden (this time it was just some rosemary and pink salt) and I throw in a little bit of French onion soup mix too...sounds a bit "dero" but it's actually nice, flavours it well (and cheap...I am a student). Cook until done nicely. Then cut and arrange the pastry bottom, pop in some filling and a bit of spinach, put a dollop of ricotta on the top. put the pastry top on and bake until golden. Quite delicious.

This is just one of my "can't be bothered cooking" dishes quick and easy but tasty

One pie is just over 100 calories all up.

Dry roasted sausages (weight watchers low fat) and swede/carrot mash plus lots of other veggies. Yummy for my Tummy.
