It's a pretty basic recipe just what was in the fridge -
2 spring onions
500g of broccoli
Fried the spring onion and some garlic, added water (you could add a stock cube) and boiled broccoli for about 5mins, blitzed then added about 50g cheddar or to taste reheated til cheese melted bobs yer uncle!
According to myfitnesspal probably about 9 carbs if the above serves 4

No probs at all - stilton would be lovely I only had mild cheddar in the fridge and def think it needs a stronger cheesy flavour (you know what I mean!)
Just being nosey (tell me to butt out!) but you did really well on Dukan why did you come back to Atkins? x

butt out nah. i got to goal yes but then i kind of get annoyed with the maintenance i.e. 40g bread only plus MUST HAVE FRUIT. I dont do fruit, was sick of the food, although it wasnt bland, I missed my atkins.
I think if I hadnt done atkins before I wouldnt have know about the nice food, but i missed cheese (30g or whatever per day) wasnt going to suit me!
Dukan is great for fast weight loss but the consolidation of it is basically same old same old with STRICT rules. whereas atkins maintenance is the food i love and who can cope with only 2 eggs per day? LOL.
I skirted on ww style for 2 weeks after dukan but couldnt stand the low fat stuff, after being low carb you can really really taste sweet stuff like low fat mayo and its rank,!!! there ive gabbled now

I had never had full fat mayo, philly or anything really until I started this. I can't believe the difference in flavour!!
Flutter have you tried the cauli pizza base? I love it. For a very large pizza cook a kilo of cauli, rice it, squeeze it in a cloth until your eyes bleed. Then add herbs, an egg & a handfull of mozzarella. I spread it out on a silicon baking sheet & cook on 170 (fan oven) for about 15 mins each side. Add lots of toppings (I love Tescos classic green pesto, dead low & Gia tomato paste first) & grill. FAN-TAS-TIC!

Vicky - sorry just being very nosey Dukan didn't work for me full stop and I found it a bit contradictory low carb yet I was eating lots of sugar in the low fat yogs etc and too much fake sugar for me too at least with Atkins its the real deal and a little of that is better than lots of aspartame.
Anyway good luck for wi tomorrow! x
Sharon that sounds downright weird .... but good! Will give it a go was going to use the linseed recipe as base but feel too sicky tonight for some reason, I know the reason it's cos I've not had enough to eat. Will maybe try over weekend when I've got more time - thanks! x
