Raw food supper
Kix and I are on a health drive (because of my weight issues and because of Chloes herniated disk) so Chloe cooked prepared a recipe from a friend of ours who only eats raw food! This is raw Satay style butternut noodles and raw brownies: It was delightful. The “noodles” were tasty and surprisingly filling. […]
Rich Chocolate mousse cake
Source: Weightwatchers “Cook!” (p180), Takes: 20 mins to prepare and 45 mins to cook, Rating: 9/10 Looks like a cake but doesn’t have the texture of a cake – it’s really smooth and melt-in-the-mouth. Usually recipes don’t look like the picture right? Well, this is an exception: Mousse cake Not mouse cake
Piri Piri Stir-Fry Veg Beef
Source: Weightwatchers “Spicy and speedy” (p5), Takes: 15 mins, Rating: 6/10 This is quick to make because you use a ready prepared stir-fry veg pack and quorn pieces are quicker to cook that real beef.

So having it as the complete meal felt slightly under-whelming but it’s […]
Lentil and Chickpea Casserole
Source: Weightwatchers Cook! (p120), Takes: 30 mins, Rating: 6/10 Classic vegetarian grub – boring but healthy. Lentils and Spinach are a good source of iron.
Moorish Tagine
Source: Weightwatchers Spicy and Speedy (p21), Takes: 30mins, Rating: 9/10, Nationality: Moroccan. A very sweet tasting dish with bags of flavour and fairly large portions that are quite filling. I particularly like the the crunchy green beans in contrast to the soft potato. Highly recommended (and I love how the name “Moorish Tagine” rolls off […]
Creamy Celery Soup
Source: Weightwatchers Cook! (p10), Takes: 10 mins to prepare + 20 mins to cook, Rating: 7/10 Artists have their golden ratio, physicists have their theory of everything and us dieters have our zero point meals. What I like about this soup is that it tastes like it has cream in it but it doesn’t (it’s […]
