This week was also the launch of the NEW Tea Time Treats challenge, which I am delighted to say, has linked up with Dom’s Random Recipes, for ONE crazy fun-filled month……you can read all about it here
well, what with doing my Wartime Kitchen and preparing for Christmas, I have not had time to post any meal plans, or indeed any of my new recipes, but, I am rectifying that today with a NEW recipe that’s just right for all the snow and frost we have been having over the last few days – a Scottish inspired Highland Stew
TheFastDiet, as well as on my blog here. One of the things I love about the weekend, is BREAKFAST. By adding the porridge oats, these pancakes make you feel full for longer as well as enhancing the lowering of cholesterol in your daily diet
basically, on the “points” diet that I have always followed, (and I think that the Pro Points diet may be the same) if you KNOW you have a day coming up where you are going out for a meal or you will be eating MORE than your daily recommended daily points allowance, you can “save” some of your points up from days where you go BELOW your daily allowance, BUT only over the period of ONE WEEK = Fast days then
That’s all for my Festive Fish in Friday post, do have a relaxing weekend, the last weekend this year, and see you tomorrow with some naughty but terribly nice recipes…
The reason that this intermittent style of dieting has proved so successful for me is the lack of “forbidden” food, a very negative term that makes me feel instantly rebellious
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
on the Weight Watcher’s diet, if you don’t use any of your allocated daily points within a seven-day period, they can be “banked” for another day, such as a day when you are going out to dinner, or you are having a few naughty treats
I enjoyed this today as part of my fast day menu, (the full week’s menu for the Lavender and Lovage household will follow on) and even Malcolm loved it, although I was kind and served his with some bread and a wee glass of wine
I will leave you with a fabulous image of one of the vessels that catches the haddock, and all of theother fish I use in my recipes, Budding Rose, and I hope that you try this aromatic and tasty low-calorie recipe, I am pretty pleased with how it turned out
And yes, I have not posted in two days, which is VERY unusual for me, but I have lots of lovely recipes to share with you over the next few days, as well as some reviews, news, giveaways and a weekly meal plan too……along with photos and my daily thoughts, I hope to be back on track (excuse the pun – all this talk of trains has obviously affected me) very soon
So, here is my latest low-calorie recipe offering – but like all my recipes, I HOPE that they can be cooked or prepared for those of you NOT on a diet too
I have already been preserving in the kitchen with my quinces and figs, and I have some exciting new recipes to share over the next few weeks……quinces have also made an appearance in some savoury recipes I have created, it’s a bumper crop for them this year, although I do have a small problem with mould due to the wet weather
