Food is an important part of my life, I LOVE pottering in the kitchen and enjoy good meals with my husband, friends and family. This is a record of bits and bobs I have used which I hope will help others, whether to lose weight, experiment with some recipes, find healthy alternatives to food favourites or just have fun in the kitchen. My journey was not a lonely, uninspiring one, it was down to the wonderful family who supported me and my awesome friends at Slimming World
Beetroot Trifle
My trifle experiment ! Sugarfree raspberry jelly with pomegranete seeds, raspberries and the beetroot twist as a base. Instead of blancmange I dissolved another jelly packet with a tub of fat free yoghurt. Top - instead of cream I used quark. One of the most controversial dishes I have ever made! People are still talking about it - and not for the right reasons! The beetroot needed to be finely chopped, even grated. I will not give up! Watch this space!
Beetroot Rosti!
Tried out the beetroot, potato and onion rosti from the App. I used half the amounts and ended up with 5 in total. A LOT of hard work in the preparation. I didn't fry mine I oven cooked them. Am serving as a starter with stuffed mushrooms tonight. Steak, new potatoes, mushrooms and salad. Got some AMAZING salad leaves which are in my salad box all ready to stuff into my chubby cheeks when I do my hamster impression during dinner!
Ok I wasn't going to go through all that prep for nothing! Beetroot rosti - I had some mixture left so I added a beaten egg and cooked for 20 mins at 200 fan! Was absolutely delicious with a cottage cheese, salmon and rocket mix Awesome!
