Lose Weight 15

serendisglair

Just a thought for people looking for some inspiration and a challenge...
there is an absolutely enormous list of recipies here

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=458838

and I'm sure some of then can be weight-watcher-fied, slimming worldified, cook yeself thinnified or just plain eaten

I was looking for soup recipes but then realised I'd only end up doing what I normally do and chucking in a bit of everything and crossing the fingers!

Doesn't that sound much? Hmmm, I do have quite large portions though any suggestions of what i can add to it?

.... jacket potato, maybe a few wedges? Bit of plain rice? Cous cous. Plenty cheap stuff. Just a little bit of carb as a filler really.

Sounds like a good idea!! I'll have jacket potatoes with the spicy beans

Just wondered if anyone else on here eats/likes quark??

I really like it on a ryvita or in a jacket potato. Are there any other slightly more exciting things you can do with it?

Quark is great as a base ingredient for quiches (pastry not allowed) or light desserts such as mousses.

A1969 and katyk, definitely keep logging on - as Petrichor says that's exactly what we're all here for! I'm the queen of falling off the wagon at the mo so feel free to join me in the naughty corner any time and we can give each other a kick up the bum!! (or go out on the lash together!:D)

Wilroda, my main support comes from this thread, it definitely is a godsend! As for the aquafit, yeah definitely give it a try. Hope your legs don't hurt for 2 weeks!

Right, had more to say (you know me, always gabbing on!) but OH is calling me for a shiatsu... :T

Thanks everyone, and A1969Baby - it really must have been some time we had, can't remember a thing!:D :rotfl:
Only time I have really used quark was as a sort of substitute for cream in a savoury wine sauce over pork, bacon and mushrooms. (Scottish Slimmers recipe). Have never really tried it on it's own - must look into further obviously!

Does anyone else think it's nearly time to start LW 16? We're well over the 1000 posts.

Petrichor would you do the honours this time?

a1969baby

dellybelly that link is excellent, thank you

Well I've been and done my shopping (came to £10.38..a bargain!!) so I've got no excuse now for being a lazy git if anyone has a co-op near them, the quorn mince and pieces are currently on offer 2 bags for £3.00, I saved £3.16 by buying 4 packs!! Yay!!

I'm off to do some cooking now.. back later
