The crab linguine and chicken tikka with coconut rice sounds amazing! Are those recipes online?


Also, I saw quinoa in asda and wanted to try it but I'm a bit scared as I don't really know what I'm doing with it lol

I would use it instead of cous cous- in that kind of meal, you can flavour it with stock/herbs/spices. I actually had in instead of rice with the open sushi salad i saw on your food diary a couple of weeks ago

Its advisable to rinse it before cooking otherwise its a bit starchy & stodgy!

Just reading through you're diary and getting really inspired by the different dinner recipes. I'm definitely going to have to try the Teriyaki Salmon. Good luck with it all.

Thank you

The teriyaki salmon is amazing!!! Tesco had an offer on salmon this week so i bought a side of salmon so i can make a load & freeze it

Black coffee
Sushi salad
Flavoured sparkling water
Black coffee
Roast chicken salad with new potatoes

I am trying to eat 'normal' food & not snack too much so i can get into healthy habits!

 

[Lanarkwitch]

Yes that's a good plan i know that's where i went wrong before too many mullerlights and pasta n sauces and not enough proper meals and superfree getting into the swing of it now though

That was so me! Snacking on supernoodles etc cos they were free, then wondering why I wasn't losing! I'm eating way better now,ok, my superfree isn't always as high as it should be but I'm getting there!

 

[Lanarkwitch]

Yeah i have decided not to use any packet stuff this time round and see how i get on

 

[Sia]
