Lose Weight 20

Hi peeps

Can someone tell me where I went wrong with my muffins?

I took them out the oven and left them for 5 mins to cool down, but when I tried to take them out the tray they were stuck to the bottom.

I used an ovenproof rubber muffin tray.

happy birthday wendy

all this talk of baking, last time i baked my oven was screwy and i got blueberry muffins with melted blueberries and raw middles and raw middle wacky cake but burnt on the outsides. i need a new oven or something, dont think this one is working right.

10past6, Hmm, I know what I'd do if it was a metal muffin tray but as yours is a rubber one I won't answer in case I say the wrong thing

You might get a quicker answer on cooking related questions if you post over on the OldStyle board, there is a thread for "quick questions on anything" which always has lots of cooking questions

Well done on your first attempt!

These loads of ingredients you've bought - did you buy them on spec or did you have dishes/recipes in mind when you bought them?

I keep supplies of a few storecupboard basics, but other than that I plan meals and then shop for those ingredients I specifically need. I wouldn't expect to already have everything in if I was trying something new

For our favourite regular meals we can bulk buy ingredients and often save more money that way.

Hope this isn't just stating the obvious - and you must tell us how your muffins turned out!

I'm somewhat stupid, when I started out on this home cooking adventure, I lookd at various recipes on this site, and noted down then purchased the ingredients.

Then I found this thread (so pleased I did) which has various different recipes, I have purhased some basic ingredients:

Wholemeal flour
SR flour
Plain flour
Canderel
WW
Silverspoon light sugar
Cornflour
Lemon
Dried friut
Eggs
Pure honey
Mixed herbs
Vanilla extract
Mixed spice
Nutmeg
Marmitr
Tomato puree
Turmeric powder
Bag of chick peas
Course ground black pepper
Garam Masala whole
Vegetable stock cubes
Oregano
Chilli powder
Carrotts
Pasta
Rice
Tinned tomoto's

As I say, I took most of the ingredients from this site, I'm a bit embarassed to be honest, if anyone from the OS threads could see what I've spent, I doubt they'd be pleased.

I'm hoping in the long run it will work out cheaper, just a question of me finding recipes that I can use the ingredients on.

There are a lot of recipes on this site, although I get confused as to whether they are healthy towards weight loss.

Sorry for the long post.

Its my partners birthday today and we are going to be getting a take away - is chinese the best for dieting ? maybe something like mixed veg in sweet and sour sauce ?

Hi Froggy!

Really depends on how the take away cooks it (lots of oil and stuff in the sauce). Personally I would have an Indian , boiled rice with tandoori chicken. Hardly any oil as the tandoori chicken is dry cooked. I might even stretch to a veg dish again not swamped in sauce. Oh sorry I've gone off into food heaven! That of course is my preference you might not even like Indian food! Blast got myself in the mood for a take away! Where did I leave that menu?

Not sweet and sour sauce! one of the heaviest kcals wise you can have - something like black bean sauce would be better

I'm with Tagz

Indian is much better calorie wise than Chinese luv
