sound like you need an egg in there to help it bind

 

[cherl889]

Lol i didnt think of that. Have you ever made it?

 

[onthelang]

What do you get if cross a mouse with a packet of washing up powder?Bubble and squeak! sad I know..

 

[cherl889]

Oh dear! Did that mouse use egg?

 

[cherl889]

Egg didnt work.

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

today i have made crustless broccoli and blue cheese quiche.

I did all this by eye and taste, basically.....

3 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
2 egg whites
mature cheddar
blue cheese
broccoli

whipped egg whites
added all other ingredients today and mixed well..
folded in egg whites.

baked in a round tray for 50 mins maybe? could use muffin trays

its gorgeous!

 

[cherl889]

Sounds delicious Missy. What quantities of cheese and broccoli did you use?

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

i did it by eye cherl...i know im bad....i own scales but i keep my keys in them and own NO body scales at all....

its the way i roll lol

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

Melas for today.....

B:nothing
L: nothing
S: peperami, slive of pastrami and an oopsie roll with pastrami and cheese
D: Chicken, cabbage and bacon, cauliflower, sausage wrapped in bacon.

 

[cherl889]

Mmmm. How do you cope with no scales? You say you've had nothing for breakfast or lunch. Does your body go into starvation mode when missing a meal on the atkins? Hubbie complains to me i will if i skip a meal but doing this im not always hungry.

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

i have no idea cheryl, i am physically not hungry, we asre supposed to eat when we are hungry and until we are full but i got up this morning, started drinking my water, went swimming with the kids, by the time i got home it was 2? i had a pepperamie because i felt hungry then started onthe jobs around the house, made the oopsies so tried one but wasnt overly hungry. I am getting worried that i can pretty much go all day with water and one lunch size meal but do make sure i eat in the evening. my dinner tonight was a nice dinner, but i forced myself to eat what was on the plate

scales? a cup ful has to be a handful yeh? thats my measuring and dont ect anything that has lots of carbs in, i stick to stuff that has 0. something or trace.

 

[cherl889]

So how do you know how much you've lost? Lol i think thats funny.

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

i go to boots once a week lol pay my 50p....means i dont weigh myself daily either! lol

(and boots is a mission to get too lol)

 

[cherl889]

Thats not actually a bad idea. Stops the temtation of a daily weigh in. I just cant help myself an do it 3 times a day. Crazy i know, but thats just me!

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

i AM the sort of person that would do that!!

luckily im not rich enough to do so haha

 

[cherl889]

Now what other yummy recipes do you have? Have you tried the butter chicken? Its lovely. So lovely i made it again today but was a little naughty as i ran out of cream so used coconut milk instead. It up'd the carbs a little but i was still ok for my daily allowance. Still as yum.

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

hmmm, i had steak on saturday night, with garlic mushrooms and spinach, that was gorgeous.

i made lamb kebabs with a spice from asda i think,

and pork burgers from just mince and mixed herbs and served with a blue cheese salad. that was GORGE..

not sure what im having tomorrow but really fancy the cheeseburger pie and laslagne but with corgettes to replace the pasta sheets.

i LOVE butter chicken normally, whats your fav so far?

 

[cherl889]

Well it was cheeseburger pie, then it became mince,mushrooms and onions topped with cauli mash and grated cheese now i think def butter chicken. Im wanting to try mim's or oopsie rolls but im worried it will bring the craving back for normal bread (my biggest weakness)
