Some handy Recipes that I like
The best Spaghetti and Sauce is one you make yourself and it is so easy.
Take 1 Can of chopped Tomatoes, the ones already flavoured with Garlic n Herbs are fab.
Pop in pan bring to boil to reduce and add what you want: more garlic n herbs; chopped Mushrooms; chopped lean ham or chicken, or turkey breast. Basically anything you are allowed, well season with Salt, a pinch of Sugar and plenty of Black Pepper, either reduce of put thro' a blender. (If you can spare it a splash of white wine does wonders
)
Boil in another pan your favourite Pasta but wholemeal is best and more filling, drain when just cooked, pop back in pan to dry a little then stir in the sauce to just cover each piece nicely, serve piping hot with a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Tins of Chopped Tomatoes in your Larder is a godsend, especially the flavoured ones, try poaching a Chicken Breast in some and serve with New Potatoes n Salad or Green Veg.
Make a quick Jalfrezi Curry, tinned Tomatoes add spices; Chili; Ground Coriander; Cumin, with crushed garlic cloves to your taste cook till flavours blended together and then cook some chopped Chicken in it and serve with Rice. (Avoid ready made curries as they are so full of Calories and fat as a norm and it is more fun to make your own)
I haven't mentioned Onions in any of the above as in my opinion they need to be slowly fried in some sort of Oil and you can forfeit a bit of flavour for a lot of Calories!

For Soups I love the Lidl's own Chicken n Pasta Soup, a double size tin is really low cal n fat n with a Pitta bread a lovely meal, my doggie loves it thank goodness as I can't eat a whole tin
If you like soups use your slow cooker and chuck in some Lentils, for fibre n thickening, any and all chopped veg that you like, when the lentils are properly soft, not before, season with a stock cube or salt n pepper and spiced with a spoonful of curry powder, it freezes OK as well.
