I love fish, and often reach for a nice piece of fish for my main meal, especially when “fasting” on my low-calorie day, but, a change is as good as a rest as they say, andchicken breasts (skinned) are a dieter’s friend
Leftovers - Chicken, Sausage and Mushroom Pie with Potato salad. Dietary. packed with flavour, which belies the fact that is is low calorie, and is also perfect for those who keep hens and often have small eggs
To serve, spoon potatoes on to a bed of green salad leaves on a large serving platter as part of a buffet, or serve with salad leaves and sliced ham, chicken or cold meats as a light low-calorie lunch or supper dish
Leftovers of “Sunday Lunch” Chicken, Sausage and Vegetable Hotpot. Check and adjust the seasoning if needed and then add the yoghurtand chopped coriander, gently stirring it in whilst the pan is off the heat
So, instead of reaching for ready-to-eat diet meals in the supermarket, I am creating my own low calorierecipes at home, which means I have more control over salt and additives
But, it doesn’t have to be that way, and after a couple of experiments on some willing guinea pigs, I have devised a low-calorieand totally delectable pancake recipe for fast days OR for a healthy breakfast for those on the go, Blueberry and Oat Pancakes with Cinnamon
Dietary. Low CalorieHighland Stew Recipe. A hearty low-calorie Scottish inspired stew packed with vegetables and pulses, as well as low-fat smoked sausage if using
You can use pork fillets instead of chicken, and of course Quorn pieces would be great for vegetarians, you just need to adjust the calories for those two ingredients (if using), the Quorn will be lower in caloriesand the pork if lean, will be about the same of slightly higher
I am finding myself being drawn more and more to comfort food recipes, as autumn deepens and the first frosts appear, and so it’s with great pleasure that I share my hearty Hungarian Savoury Minced Beef, this is a real comfort meal and is low in calories, but, it is also suitable for a mid-week family supper – frugal and thrifty it may be, but it certainly doesn’t lack in flavour
and Pesto Pasta with Parmesan Recipe. The Marmalade has been made, for my grand entry into the World’s Original Marmalade Awards, British Farmhouse Breakfast Week is over and January is about to slither out in either an avalanche of snow or a deluge of flooding, and, it is another Meal Planning Monday post – WHERE did last week go
Mexican Layered Salad and home-made ChickenKebabs. Mushrooms or tomatoes on toast, as well as egg on toast is a close second, and when I saw some lovely fresh and VERY seasonal autumn mushrooms at the market the other day, I set out to prove that you CAN have your “on toast” treat on a diet, that is tasty and full of flavour
LOW CALORIE Breakfast Omelette Recipe. Low-calorie Creamy Organic Porridge with Honey. I am sharing my latest recipe with you in this post, my FIRST new breakfast recipe, for an easy Full English Breakfast that is baked in the oven, just leaving you to fry, scramble or poach the eggs and make the toast and a pot of tea of course
Serve with rice, quinoa or just by itself depending on your personal taste andcalorie count. I’ve called it a made-to-measure curry, because I can easily see how this recipe could be adapted to pretty much how every many calories you have to spare for your evening meal
I LOVE going out and as you all may know by now, I LOVE baking and cooking, so these low-calorie days have always been on my agenda whether I am dieting or not……
Print recipe. I made a noodle and vegetable stirfry to go with the chicken – if I’d had the spare calories, I might have cooked some rice and the vegetables would have been added into the sweet and sour mix instead, but shirataki noodles, while filling, really do need to be cooked with something
