Thread: Harley Quinn puts her cards on the table

Someone suggested I keep a food diary here. So here I am. I always follow Green, as I'm vegetarian, but I'll try to remember to colour my diaries in green as well.

Yesterday (20.11.12)

2 Weetabix (HEB1) with 100ml skimmed milk (part of HEA1)
Tomato and Herb Mugshot (free)
Apple (free)
Grapes (free)
Baked bean lasagne (recipe below) (free, had a little low fat cheddar as HEB2)
Strawberries (free)
5 cups of tea (free) with skimmed milk (part of HEA1)
20g veggie gummy bears (3 syns)
Muller Light strawberry (free)

I won't be having the Muller Light again as I noticed it contains gelatine. However, The Joker and I just got back from Asda laden with syn-free vegetarian yoghurts.

Here's the recipe, think I found it on here and adapted it a bit.

Baked Bean Lasagne

Dried lasagne sheets
2 tins baked beans
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 large onion
1 courgette
1 carrot
1 red pepper
3 tsp Very Lazy garlic
2 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (I use Biona, from my local health shop)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp mixed herbs
Fry Light
100g low fat cheddar

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Finely chop the onion, pepper and courgette, and grate the carrot.
3. Spray a saucepan with Fry Light and fry the onion, pepper, garlic and courgette until soft. Add the carrot and cook for another minute.
4. Add the baked beans, chopped tomatoes, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and mixed herbs. Stir well and cook for another five minutes or so.
5. Layer the bean mixture and dry lasagne sheets in a rectangular pan. Top with the cheddar.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until it's all bubbly and delicious.
7. Try not to burn your mouth as you shovel it into your gob.

Serves 4. Free on Green, as long as you count the cheddar as a Healthy Extra.

This could be made vegan if you substituted the cheddar for vegan cheese. The Joker is not a vegetarian but he went back for THIRDS!

Will give your recipe a go - always good to try new things!

It had a really rich smoky, almost BBQ-ish flavour because of the paprika. The Joker tells me it's definitely on the "would nom again" list!

sounds lovley - i will defo try it!

LOL my OH lets me know when he likes things too - he is always like when can we have that again !!

Ate the full 15 syns today, feel a bit piggy!

No need to feel piggy no one in my house likes mac and cheese so I never make it, but I do a lovely pasta were I chuck in loads of veg (peas, carrots, mushrooms, onion, courgette etc) and then stir in Kerry low low spread. Half a tub is one hea, so I chuck in a tub and a half for 3 adults and a toddler. Everyone loves it. And we aren't vegetarians but enjoy green days for the variety. That's aquickf and easy we recipe though that's adaptable to what your family like.

Hope weigh in goes well tomorrow

Oooh Franalamadingdong, that sounds lovely thanks! I've been looking for a good pasta bake recipe!

Ooh, I don't bake it, I boil the carrots with the pasta and chuck the peas in for the last few minutes then I just fry the other stuff in frylight, drain the pasta then stir everything in.

Pretty darned good day today, and another recipe!

Tasty tasty recipe, Frankenstein'd from several recipes found here and on the SW site:

Lentil and Bean Shepherd's Pie

2 carrots, grated
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
7oz red lentils
1 tin green lentils, drained
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin baked beans
1 tin adzuki beans, drained
1pt stock made with Vecon
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
salt & ground black pepper
7 or 8 medium potatoes, diced
Fry Light, for spraying

1. Spray a large saucepan with the Fry Light and cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the grated carrot and cook for a couple more minutes. Add both types of lentils and the stock and bring to the boil for five minutes.
2. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, baked beans, Worcestershire sauce and thyme and simmer until tender and the red lentils have almost disintegrated (mine took 20 minutes or so, your mileage may vary). Transfer to an oven-proof dish.
3. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a large pan of salted water with the mustard powder for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash, season to taste and spread over the lentil mixture. Make ridges in the potato with a fork.
4.Place in an oven for 25-30 minutes or under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.

Serves about 6 (so you could freeze some for later!). Free on green.

Again, my meat-eating Joker said it was amazing and he'll be eating the leftovers tonight.
