Bad girl warning...
Well I dunno if anyone still needs it but here is the Neris & India shepherd's pie recipe. I reduce some of the cooking times and use much smaller amounts (900g mince/1 head cauli still serves 4-6 easily!) and take out the celery (yuk!) and add garlic and Worcester sauce, and don't add the cheese to the mash but pile it on top instead. Oh and I've never bothered with the crumbled bacon, but I guess it would help the texture of the topping...
NERIS & INDIA'S FAKE SHEPHERD'S PIE (serves 4-6)
FILLING:
1.5kg lean beef mince
2 med onions finely chopped
2 sticks celery finely chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp tomato puree
230g mushrooms, chopped
2 tbsp butter
salt & pepper
FILLING:
900g trimmed cauliflower
60ml soured cream (un-soured works too)
230g grated cheddar
2 tbsp butter
1 egg
8 fried, crispy rashers of bacon, crumbled
Brown the beef then add the onions, celery, thyme, tomato puree, salt & pepper. Cover the pan, turn the heat right down & cook for 30 mins, stirring occasionally. Add some water if it looks too dry.
Fry the mushrooms in the butter and add to the beef. Cook 15 mins more.
Meanwhile, make the topping. Steam the cauliflower until almost mushy, then blend in a food processor, adding the soured cream, cheddar & butter. Add the egg and whizz again. Mix in the bacon.
Assemble the pie and bake for 45-50 mins.

Baked White Fish with Pine Nut, Parmesan, and Basil Pesto Crust
Kalyn's Kitchen: Recipe for Baked White Fish with Pine Nut, Parmesan, and Basil Pesto Crust
This is a South Beach recipe so you'd need to use full fat mayo instead
There are some other great recipes on this site but again beware of carb content & swap any low fat for full fat.

Bye Bye Huge Bottom!
Just made some Broccoli and Stilton soup (only have small portions as broccoli seems to be pretty carby, or bulk it out with some cauli too):
1 head of Broccoli boiled
about 200g Blue Stilton
3tbsp Double Cream
When broccoli is cooked stick it all in the blender and voila! Taste it to make sure its got enough stilton in as I used only a small bit to begin with but couldn't taste it.

Dont know if this already posted but....
Thin and crispy Pizza base
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
3 eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon basil,
optional Toppings of your choice *
Mix the cheeses, eggs, garlic powder and basil well. Line a 16-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Evenly spread the cheese mixture in the pan, almost to the edge, making it as thin as possible. Bake at 450º 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
I suggest checking it after about 10 minutes. If it's getting very dark on the edges and top, turn the oven down to 400º and continue baking until brown all over and no longer pale on the bottom. Pat off any excess grease then add your toppings. Keeping the oven rack in the center position, put the pizza under the broiler until the toppings are hot and any cheese you added is melted and bubbly, about 4-5 minutes. Makes 8 servings Can be frozen
