[Caroline_Louise]

I made a lush meal today so thought i'd add it on here. Please feel free to point out if ingredients are a massive nono but i think the flavourings r ok in v small amounts:

2 tesco frozen cod pieces, place in bakin dish with cpl tbl spoons of water and splash of light soy sauce. Chop 40g pak choi ad 40g courgettes and add. Add pinch of chilli seeds, 1/2 tsp of v lazy garlic and 1 of v lazy ginger. Bake for 25mins on 200deg.

This was v v yummy i must say :-)

I must try some of these dishes out. What I love is that I can cook them for all my family and just give them a few extra carby foods and dinners good to go. No separate cooking which is good.

Exactly!

Wow, some of these ideas sound pretty yummy. I completely agree that the 810 plan and being able to have a meal is what has kept me 100% for my first two days. It means that I won't get grumpy with the mister either as we can still eat dinner together in the evening.

Thanks for the fab ideas everybody! x

I was surprised to learn that chickpeas are allowed on the CWP as I find them really comforting and carby. My favourite way to cook them is as burgers! It means I can have them on my own and my other half can have them in a bun. All you do is boil the chickpeas and pop them in a blender with a splash of lemon juice, chopped corriander, 1 chopped chilli and lots of chilli powder and cumin. Then you slightly blend it and put in in patty shapes and grill it. It's DELICIOUS!
I'm sure some of you more strict CWPers wouldn't want to use corriander or chilli fresh but you can get it dry too!

I had a chickpea and kale soup today which was quite nice. I just sprayed some Fry-Light in a pan, added 2 chopped cloves garlic, 1/2 tsp ground cumin and coriander and 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. I then added my drained chickpea allowance and warmed through and coated with spices. I then washed and added the allowance of kale and added with about 300ml boiling water, stirred, added some cayenne pepper and let it cook with the lid on for a few mins. If it is too watery, just drain some of this and blend with a hand blender (I made the mistake of pouring it into my KitchenAid blender and the the lid blew off because of the heat!). I then put half of my low fat yoghurt allowance in a bowl and stirred through some chopped coriander, returned the soup mixture into the bowl and stirred through the yoghurt.

It was so filling that I couldn't finish it and had to have the rest an hour and a half later which I guess is good for keeping the metabolism going!!

When using the soups as a "sauce" should you cut back on the amount of protein you are having? Or can you use them freely?
