:) Actually, it's a variation on a recipe I usually make with zucchini. Was even better with leek! For 4 small servings (bf eats it with meat, I eat it on its own so I usually have 1 1/2 serving) 1 1/2 cups pre-cooked cereals (I use a ready mix of quinoa, spelt, red rice and wild rice but...

A few rice grains or pasta (use large seashells so that they don't get lost) work well to keep the humidity away. :)

I've successfully made this recipe: Green Risotto with Fava Beans - Allrecipes without shelling the favas. I only shelled those used for decoration. (I took the picture you see on the recipe page :)). Try addind bacon or pancetta bits for an extra twist! But I'm afraid it won't freeze well...

We'll have leek and cereals casserole with a crumbs/almond topping. :)

I'm trying to quit. I've been so obsessed by dieting and counting calories that it finally turned into an eating disorder... Now I try to eat when I'm hungry, stop when I'm full and eat what I feel like eating!

Never thought of pine nuts and peas in the same recipe... I've got to try this! And I have fresh rosemary on the balcony!

We had sechouan chicken with soy sprouts and rice. And for desserts, ricotta-almond-rasperry cupcakes. yumy!

My fave ww breakfast is 9 tbsp otmeal with water and sweetener. It makes only three points and is very filling!

I love Salsa chicken and salsa fish! Just top chicken breasts or fish fillets (cod) with salsa, cheese and crumbled nachos, than bake in the oven until meat is done and cheese is brown and bubbly. Yummy!

I already had it bookmarked in my favorites, it's a great blog and I've been wanting to buy a laptop lunchbox ever since I've discovered it! And I'm not a vegetarian either... :smile:

Thanks for the link! I need 2000 cals to maintain with a light exercise level... i wonder what they consider light!!!

ChefJune, that recipe looks great! Saving it for later because i'm a huge fan of garlic!

Oat bran and wheat bran are excellent sources of fibers. Think All brans for breakfast!

We've just had ratatouille (loads of summer veggies) and spicy Italian sausages. Pretty healthy and leaves space for a heavy dessert! ;)

I know I'm not being original but... the KitchenAid Stand-up mixer. :mrgreen:

How interesting! I didn't know about Sprite but I knew lemon juice kept apples, avocadoes and eggplant to turn brown...

I use a masher. Before reading this thread, I didn't even know ricers existed and i wouldn't have thought of using a mixer. Lumps in mashed potatoes is what makes them taste authentic! if I want the smoother version, I use instant...

At home. I enjoy cooking so much that eating out has become a frustrating experience! Plus, I'm quite calories-conscious and I'm kind of scared of food I have not prepared myself... But I enjoy eating out every once in a while. It's a good way to discover new cuisines and dishes!

70-72° F, sunny with occasional clouds. We're lucky it doesn't rain because It ALWAYS rain in Belgium...:smile:

Is it something cultural? I haven't noticed the same thing around here in Belgium. I know lots of people who cook regularly. Actually, most of my friends (I'm 27) DO cook. Not that they enjoy it or cook gourmet stuff but they can throw a chicken breast in a pan and mash some potatoes. As for...

I just bought one for a few bucks. Bought it in a Belgian store, so I guess I'm not of much use! Wonder if it's going to work... :mellow:

Yesterday, I did 20 minutes on the stepper and 20 minutes on the bike. Today, I must find the motivation to take a 1 hour step class! :smile:

For breakfast, I had a Greek yogurt with 2/3 of a nectarine (the other third had gone bad) and a small red plum. Gah! Yesterday, we went out for the WC final and I had 3 glasses of wine and 2/3 of a veggie pizza... Well, I had been to the gym before that but I'm not sure it made up for it!

No. But I don't think kids should be allowed either. Just kidding. Well... :tongue:

They look so yummy! Especially the blueberry pie! May I ask you which recipe you used for the blackberry pie? We have an over abundance of them later in August and I'm always on the look for new recipes...
