I'm just trying the gnocchi now, so I'll let you know how it goes. I'm really fired up for trying something similar to this challenge with one additional thing - to do it so Chester (my OH) doesn't realise he's eating value stuff. I'm calling it a test of my ingenuity and resourcefulness rather than cutting back. The thing is, he's noticing a shift in his waistline, too, which he is rather happy about. Portion control is the way to go!

Just thought I'd ask again about recipes for roasties and the like for a roast dinner I'm doing on sat...just wondered if people had any ideas I could steal from their dinner tables....Ta in advance.

Hello Weezl, just wanted to say well done. I read USDA and now this thread every day at work. I think what you are doing is brilliant.

Hi Ashia

Heston bloomenface (thats what I call him anyway as can never remember it properly) did a programme to find the perfect roastie. I have followed this ever since and am now renowned for me roasties.

He says you should boil large chunky sized potatoes in very salty (a tbsp salt) water for around twenty minutes or until nearly at the point where you would mash them. You should have the oven turned up full and be heating a roasting tray with one inch of oil in.

Drain potatoes (don't worry if some break a little, this will give you lovely little crispy bits) and throw them in the tin, shake them around a little and roast for exactly one hour (sometimes a little less if I've cut the smaller to make people think they have more).

works every time

p.s best to use maris piper if you can get them

Hello ellas9602, Thanks, that's really kind of you :A.

newlywed, as we've been debating a bit about yoghurt making, I wondered if you'd thought of that as a cheap way to up hubbie's protein.

I litre of yoghurt contains 48g protein ( nearly the same as his 2 chicken 100g portions )
it would also be relatively cheap to make, a litre of skimmed milk at asda seems to be 64p a litre, so if it yields the same amount of yoghurt as the amount of milk you use (penny penguin can you advise whether this is true?) that's a lot of protein there for him.
