Hey guys is this allowed on pv? It's not in the book :-( x

'tis fine... (except for anyone in your vicinity!)

 

[Maintainer]

if you cook the florets well, and use a fork to break them up, you've got "rice"

<WHERE'S YOUR IMAGINATION!!!>


And with courgettes, use your peeler to get the green off, then keep peeling right down... microwave for 3 mins... you have TAGLIATELLE!

And I still believe in Father Christmas!

Jo, you're exactly what people like me need. I have NO imagination when it comes to food on this diet. x

don't forget the cabbage "lasagne" sheets

 

[anjuschka]

Or the grilled (no fat! in the health grill - yum!) aubergine 'lasagne sheets'!!

 

[ngreen1974]

oh ladies, i need you to come live with me. I love lasagne and the cabbage will work wonderfully, especially as cabbage is Millie's favourite food right now (well actually it's chickpeas, but cabbage is No.2)

 

[alottolose]

bravo!! to you for having such a wonderful child that favours veggies! I'm very impressed

also makes it easier when you're cooking if you all have the same thing...plus a few carbs for the none dukaneers

She's fab with her food. I hope it lasts. The ONLY food I have found that she doesn't like (and I dont mind because she did give it a few go's) is mash!!!!!!!! Little freak I did tell her it's the food of the Gods but she just said "dont be silly Mummy!" You cant win 'em all

 

[alottolose]

was it too smooth? can't stand smooth mash....

or maybe it was lumps? kids can be funny little things

 

[ngreen1974]

Hmm not sure. Knowing me, it was probably super smooth. Mash shouldnt have lumps in my book.

crushed potato

food porn alert

so you on cruise yet?....

 

[ngreen1974]

ha ha ha my kind of porn LOL

Yeah started Cruise last week. It's weird but I'm loving the little things like cucumber and broccoli.

Are you at home in the day? I dont know if i could do this if I were working. It's so easy to throw something in the oven or cook some eggs at lunch time.

 

[alottolose]

Yeah I'm always here ...if I was working outside the home I'd buy me a BENTO BOX ...we had a discussion about them week before last... they're like a wide flask with compartments for keeping foods seperate and warm for a good number of hours

Then it's all stews/soups/stir fries for those in 9-5...

it can be done...especially if you cook too much the night before...can imagine it'd be less hardwork to use leftovers...

I miss the veggies too and appreciate them so much more these days.... what pattern are you following?
