Tip for tastier vegetables

Pretty boring when you try to eat as many vegetables as you can with dinner. I happened to read the back if my vegetable stock box to see if it gave any ideas for soup, when instead I came across a very handy tip I didn't know. (Maybe I've been living in a box and everyone does this already but I was impressed anyway!) add a vegetable stock cube to boiling vegetables!

No more dull tasting veggies. And no need to add salt as there's plenty of flavour in the stock cube. Yum ^.^

Chicken curry

I now make this from improvisation sometimes.

Chicken breast cut into chunks

Curry powder, diced onion, fat free yoghurt, boiling water, chilli flakes

Paprika for the rice

Boiled rice

Really easy right?!! Add as many extra free ingredients as you can, this was a lazy day, but a great idea is to add vegetables too and you could make it into a chicken casserole curry ;)

Scotch eggs

Homemade scotch eggs! Messy work but worth it!

*pork mince
*diced onion
* Italian herb mix
* salt and pepper

Blend above ingredients, boil some eggs to hard, then peel and roll into the mixture. I made three types of crumb coating:

Grinded scan bran - two pieces per egg - 1 syn a slice or half of your healthy B


Cous Cous soaked in boiling water - completely FREE

Golden breadcrumbs - 4.5 syns for 25g

(Messy work so leave the tap running!) then place on a baking tray and cook at gas mark 7. I turned mine occasionally to try minimise flat bottoms. Not the most professional looking ones, but these cut out the crap they put in ready made ones.

With mine I chose to experiment with three types to see which I prefer as I'd like to make more as my snack food. Experiment! Nothing worse than making them all scan bran to discover you hate it.

Avoid 13 syns on a store bought scotch egg!

Enjoy!

A simple, luxury FREE meal!

So easy to make, and feels posh too! Very very tasty and my favourite meal.

New potatoes, boiled
Salmon, grilled
Broccoli shoots, boiled
Green beans, sliced and boiled

YUM YUM YUM ^.^

Homemade FREE soup

So I made this really easily, and had it as lunches for two days of the week, can also keep as snack food when having a rough day. Believe me even if you thicken it up with some Syn'd cornflour or maybe just more potato and blend it, filling yourself up with soup is a great cure for a moment when you feel like giving in!

Leek and potato (bought mine for 50p ready bagged and chopped)
Ham, chopped
Vegetable stock
Water

Boil for 20-30minutes, and voila!

Cooked Breakfast

Oh myyy, gotta be my favourite healthy thing to eat without a doubt! It's unbelievable that I can eat this completely guilt free! Love it love it love it. Just remember those S and SS foods though to compensate for the guilty loss of vegetables ;)

Spaghetti loops, canned FREE!
Two slices of Hovis Nimble bread (400g loaf) HEALTHY EXTRA B
bacon, fat cut off
Egg
Weight Watchers pork Sausages - 1/2 Syn each
Plum tomatoes, canned
Potatoes cut into slices and fried in Fry light
Cook everything with fry light, NO oil

Enjoy, completely innocently ^.^

Muesli

Oh no, I know it sounds gross! But I quickly went from hating that bird food to loving it!

Dorset Simply Nutty muesli 35g (Healthy B)
125ml semi skimmed milk (half of Healthy A)
One chopped banana (forgot to add it in the picture I took but I normally prefer to put as much fruit in as possible when using healthy B as breakfast)
2 quartered strawberries

A little sweetener if you need that kick in the morning ;)

Remember, healthy B is only supposed to be a small portion as an extra in the day to get your high fibre boost. I however prefer to use it for my breakfast without adding any more as Syns, and just loading up with fruit, I think it's perfectly fine to have as a meal :)
