It all looks (and is) very healthy. I sometimes make a large salad for my husband and I but I usually add either grilled chicken or some tuna on top. If I just eat the salad, I am hungry later on and start snacking. The chicken or tuna gives me more protein and therefore I am not hungry later on in the evening.

You can get pieces to add to stews, sausages, and fillets which can be pan fried. <br /><br />Taken from the packet.....Quorn is meat free and made with mycoprotien, a nutritious form of quality protein and fibre.

My friend was on the way to becoming a diabetic, she opted to drastically change her diet rather than spend a lifetime on tablets. It was a wake up call for her.

I have to cook for / feed hubby and whichever sons and girlfriends are here at the time and no way could I give them a meal like that! Hubby won't eat cold food other than bread with his meal and as he works very hard to earn money and to look after the house I think he deserves a decent meal in the evening. <br />I definitely agree that the chefs on the telly are ridiculous with the pinch of this and tablespoon of that with no thought given to what is left over, I think experience is the best way of knowing how to cook well and keep to a budget. I fed 5 of us adults the other night making a lasagne (bulking out £3.50 of mince beef with finely chopped onion and carrot) served with a few oven chips and some garlic bread and it worked out at about £1.50 per person including jelly and fruit for afters.Kate Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325725955137255316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-51782734348428816572013-09-27T04:16:57.525+01:002013-09-27T04:16:57.525+01:00Hi, Ilona ... just a passing thought concerning th...Hi, Ilona ... just a passing thought concerning the microwave.
