hey, the main meal options for step three have a part A and a part B. You can have one A or one B for dinner. Option B is the recipies, and that confused me as well, the stuff in that part is not in the list of allowed foods. And often they are more than one portion. I notice the stew makes 4 portions. So it would be good to make it and freeze it I guess.
There is a recipe book you can buy from your consultant, however I don't think it sells well. Really you could make variations of recipes from the stuff listed.
For example, I made a pancake batter today, one egg from my main meal allowance, and the banana from my breakfast allowance. So I had three pancakes for breakfast. I added my main meal veg allowance to my salad for lunch. Then for tea I was left with a carb and some protein. So I made a small curry. Could have had the rest of my protein allowance as chicken, and had that with the salad for lunch then made veg curry for tea.
Hope that helps.
