    What are some easy tasty and healthy meals?

    I have dried skimmed milk with my breakfast cereal. but that is it :). I do eat eggs now and then since I realised they aren't the high in the saturates. (I will look into the saturated being debunked things because I do follow modern science vs outdated stuff if it is compelling enough but I...

    What are some easy tasty and healthy meals?

    No, no cheese whatsoever! It just causes me too much problems :). So I am absolutist about it now. No I'm not a vegetarian any more so fire away with the meat offerings so long as they are lean cuts of course :). Tuna is really healthy but since it has 0 fat Ive found it so hard to make it...

    What are some easy tasty and healthy meals?

    Sounds good and also very simple and I love the simplicity of soups. Actually it was one of those cornerstone recipes Id dropped from the arsenal mostly due to my soups always just being like water. So Ill give them another shot with this recipe, cheers. Split peas I love their texture and I...

    What are some easy tasty and healthy meals?

    Whatever is heavy in saturated fat I define as unhealthy and cheese fits firmly in that category even the 'low fat' ones. It's interesting how many cheese addicts rush to it's defence when I sully its name. Every single time I buy a block of cheese and work my way through it, a few days after...

    Easy quick wettish ham dishes?

    Hmm I forgot to mention I dont eat cheese. I like it and all but too fatty, makes me spotty. Or any other fatty stuff really since i put on weight so easily. so it more limits things. potatos are dry in themselves :D. Maybe some ideas for sauces that I can make to go with the ham which of...

    Easy quick wettish ham dishes?

    I say wettish in that after the first day ham is always so dry on it's own. I'ts great for sandwidches or just on its own straight out the oven but then it is like an arid desert once it has cooled down. I will buy say 700g cunks of it which lasts me two days so would like something where it...

    What can I add to my hummous wraps to make more filling?

    Ye I dont eat cheese. Its nice but don't like the saturated fat and same with fatty meat. Plus cheese gives me spots :D I really hate chicken at the moment since even with breast pieces I end up with chewy gristly bits which make me almost gag. :(. I much prefer quorn instead cos it has as much...

    What can I add to my hummous wraps to make more filling?

    Na, vegatables arent really filling to me, they are empty filling rather than filling filling :D. Something proteiny to be more precise. I am thinking something along the lines of some kind of beans or something. Red kidney beans are tooo sweet. Nuts too hard I think. Something in that area...

    What can I add to my hummous wraps to make more filling?

    Currently I have the wrap, add green olives, humous and tomatoes. Tastes wonderful however is missing something filling as I find they don't keep me full for long and lack some kind of satisfying substance. What can I add to hit the spot that would go well with the above ingredients? I have...

    How can I counteract the dryness of cranberry juice?

    It is a well known diuretic. Anyway Im gonna try other things for the water retention since I dont want my teeth to rot and would prefer not that sour stuff if theres better alternative. I know why I have water retention its because of a medication I take :) Ive been advised to try...

    How can I counteract the dryness of cranberry juice?

    I drink 2+ litres of cranberry juice through the day to counteract water retention I get sometimes. It works a treat but after a while the back of my throat gets really dry producing a puckering feeling and my stomach feels the same way. What could I drink to rehydrate the pores or whatever...

    Should you refrigerate straight away even when still piping hot?

    Sure either way works then. I see what you mean the important thing being not letting it sit in the danger zone too long. So it could be out and hot. So Ill just put it in the fridge within the window before its sitting at lukewarm for too long.

    Should you refrigerate straight away even when still piping hot?

    My mom would say you shouldnt because it puts strain on the refridgerator. But I read online that you should because of bacteria. I usualy wait like 40 mins so its cooled down some. What is the general consensus?

    Recipe for the yoghurt sauce they have in curry houses?

    I must say that was just the ticket! I just made a batch and was a great success. Since my older posts Ive always felt curry had something missing without any side dips to go with it. I was unhappy with using mango chutney due to sugar content so this really takes the cake! Healthy and really...

    Recipe for the yoghurt sauce they have in curry houses?

    I did a search for yoghurt suase curry in google but not sure Im finding the right thing. Is it called raita or something else? It is that very mild tasting dip you get with curries that really cools down hot curries. I think it is minty form what I recall. Please advise. I just want...

    How do I make meat 'fall apart' when it isn't stewed for a long time?

    I love my meat where it is so well done it just falls apart, almost melting in your mouth. I find this only happens when I have sort of stewed it ina sauce for 1.30 mins or more. Thing is tho often i will make curries or bolognese and just fry it and its really chewy. Is there another way...

    Pasta Dishes that don't require cheese?

    ye i think the main prob was i didnt have a clear idea of what i wanted to achieve, tho i accepted this was purely an experiment, ive learned from it nonetheless for my next attempt. ie that i should have at least a skeleton of what i wanna make next time :P maybe ill try adding a tin of...
