If not, I'll just talk to myself!:wink: This one is a nice vegetarian dish, or an accompaniment to cold (or hot) meat that's really easy to make. It comes out at…

I've added a recipe for Pork & Apple burgers. We had them on Friday and they were delicious. Yesterday I cooked Pasta Arrabiata - that was really simple: Fry a chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic and some chilli (to taste) in FryLight, or 1/2 tbsp of chilli oil, if you want an extra kick. Add a can of chopped tomatoes and 2…

I hate having my photo taken because I look so porky...Maybe a professional photo shoot would be a good idea. I hope that I'll make my target weight (75 kg) and don't give up before hand!!! New clothes would be fab, but we've not really got the money. I have hung on to a pair of jeans that I was only able to wear for a few…

Add a beef stock cube,about 250ml water (maybe less) a tsp of dry chilli flakes (or more if you like it hot.), some…

A very simple sauce that I make to stuff into canneloni uses frozen spinach, defrosted and slightly warmed, mixed with low fat cream cheese, sauteed garlic and mushrooms. Stuff this into canneloni tubes and cover with a homemade tomato and onion sauce, then bake in oven for 30 minutes. If you wanted to cook pasta and fold…

If it will help people, I've decided to write my menus for the week ahead on my Blog ( Fat Dormouse Blog, I think I called it!) If you want the recipes I can post those too - tho it may take quite a long time! I find that I can't get ingredients here in France that are common in America, and so I cook a lot of stuff from…
