Never thought I would see the day I was using a recipe book!! But here we ( Mike and I both) are using the books I bought at Slimming world. Its great 9/10 times! For us, its teaching us a new way to cook. For one we never ever used the grill unless it was for cheese on toast, now its got home-made burgers and chicken fillets going in it. I do however have a huge cast iron griddle pan that I always used before ( with loads of oil in it to stop it all sticking) but there is something nice about grilling. I shall use the grill more.
Here for example is what we had tonight, Chermoula Chicken with fruity couscous. I would give it 8/10. Was a bit too spicy for me, my lips where tingling at the end. That's maybe why the couscous was fruity, to cool it down. I would defo have it again as it was all syn free! Meaning I would be able to eat it all over and over if I wanted.
Tomorrow night is Meatballs with herbed Tagliatelle. ( but have Extra Lean Steak Mince instead of Turkey Mince so using that)
Diary of me, my weight loss.... ( HAH! ) exercise ....(YEAH RIGHT!), cooking success's and failures and pretty much what ever else enters my head throughout my life.
