Creme Egg Cookie Cups
My colleague showed me a picture of the most delicious looking cookies on Friday, and I couldn’t resist giving them a try. I found a recipe online, but it was on an American site and required a bit of adapting. For those wondering, it’s here: http://www.inkatrinaskitchen.com/2012/03/cadbury-cream-cookie-cups.html Mine looked a bit more ‘rustic’ than these, but…

Recipe: Sweet Potato and Sweetcorn Soup
On our bank holiday day out to Skipton in the typical English bank holiday weather of drizzle, drizzle and more drizzle, we escaped the rain into WH Smiths for a while. I was browsing through the cook books and I saw the Biggest Loser cookbook (linked in to the TV programme). The TV programme is…

Recipe: Sausage and Vegetable Pasta Bake
If you’ve read my earlier post, you’ll know that I’ve decided that for the time being I’m going to have meal replacement shakes for breakfast and tea.

Recipe: Cauliflower Base Pizza
We used to eat pizza every saturday, but since we started our diet, it’s just too high in calories. I stumbled upon this recipe which uses cauliflower as the base instead of dough. We were both a bit dubious if it would actually work, but it tasted delicious, and was extremely filling! Grating the cauliflower…

Recipe: Chicken with Garlic Mushrooms and Orzo
We found this recipe for Spaghetti and garlic mushrooms on SkinnyTaste.com, but adapted it to make it into a full meal by adding fried chicken breast.
