Let's cut the junk and share our fav yummy but xen friendly recipes lets see if we can keep each other going this week xx

Stuffed chicken breast (laughing cow lightest & onion) wrapped in bgty bacon medallions mmmmm guess what I'm gonna have tomorrow

My fav meal so far has been a meatballs pasta bake. Make balls using extra lean mince and cook as many as u need- freeze the rest- I use 125gms per person. Grill them until cooked. Meanwhile cook some pasta- I Allow 75grms of dried pasta per person. in another pan make a tom sauce- passata & herbs, dash worcestershire sauce & mushrooms, onions, peppers & heat it up. once all cooked drain pasta n mix in sauce & meatballs. Cook in oven at about 180 for 20 mins. If u can find a cheese within rules u can grate this & sprinkle on top.
I work it out at about 530 cals & 7.5gms fat for whole meal (without cheese)

That sounds lush Sarah x

I'm going to try both of those recipes, they sound lovely. My fave meal is chilli made with a tin of chopped toms, some chilli powder, half a tin of baked beans, a couple of squirts of tomato puree, onion and a couple of cloves of crushed garlic with 250g of leanest steak mince. I serve it with boiled rice and it easily feeds a family of four. Never worked out the exact calorie content though

Mmmm I'm sorted for this week! I was gonna post Lexie's recipe but a real "naughty" fav of mine ATM is burgers!

So simply extra lean mince garlic chilli onion and an egg to bind shaped into burgers and served in a bun with some salad mmmm guess what I had tonight?! X

Kirsty if you've got a food mixer you don't need the egg to bind thd mince as blitzing it binds it together anyway

Oooo I'll try that then! X

I make a yummy bolognese sauce that I use as my basis for spag Bol , lasagne and over the top if meatballs.

It's one onion, one courgette, one red pepper Nd one carrot . All blitzed together then add one tin of tomatoes and passata. Then add either asda bolognese herbs or individual ones - oregano, paprika, thyme, basil and pepper

Blitz a bit longer.

It looks like a jar of bought sauce but is a great way of getting hidden veg into kids without them knowing
