    anyone have the recipe for mash with stock cubes

    I always make mine with veg stock, just make up some with either half a stock cube or a full one with about 200mls of boilingwater, depending on how much mash you are making and whip it in with a wooden spoon, tastes great and creamy texture. Enjoy.

    Extra Easy Introducing Exercise hoping to get me to target!

    Hi, I have had this and it can be quite shocking. When you exercise for the first time in a while your muscles do retain water to help them recover, it's called "tear and repair". It is temporary and should correct itself in a week or two if you continue to exercise regularly.

    For me it's vegetable stock. Make up about 100 - 200mls of veg stock from a cube, depending on how many spuds you have, and then mash without the stock but then whip in the stock with a wooden spoon, it makes it really, really creamy in texture and the stock adds flavour.

    Porridge?

    Hi PatchworkPuss, i understand about the cooked fruit rule, and if i were cooking a bag of apples and spooning it onto the porridge i would agree, but it is one small apple and one small banana which is warmed through rather eating raw. It's not hurt yet but should i start to struggle i will...

    Extra Easy Unexplained gain!

    I agree, there could be many reasons for a gain (if you do have one) it's not always just down to what we eat. Stay focused, it will work.
  170. E

    Porridge?

    Hi, no probs. Peel the apple and banana and microwave for one minute to take the crunch off the apple, mash up a bit and add the 35g of oats. Add enough water just to wet the oats (saves using all milk) then add milk enough to cover and microwave for a further 2 mins, stirring half way...
  171. E

    Porridge?

    I make my 35g of Quaker oats with 1 apple and 1 banana, its gorgeous, tastes just like apple crumble.

    Quorn mince

    Can I ask you good people your opinions on Quorn mince ? I had it a few years ago and didn't like the texture, but it was on the tv last night saying it had improved over the years and now it is hard to tell the difference from real meat when used in something like a chilli. Tesco have it on...

    Homemade Brown Bread as a HEB???

    I don't see any reason why homemade wholemeal wouldn't be a HEX B, so long as you only have 60g worth. There is plenty of fat and oil in shop bought bread so it will have been taken into consideration when they calculated how much you can have, so I wouldn't worry about working out the syns for...
