Chris actually tried the sauce when I made it the other night and said it tasted nice
My Mam and Dad like it too! Was funny, the first time I made it..I got them to try it but didn't tell them what was in it. They couldn't believe it when I told them hahahha! xx

Really easy, and quick too!
I fry off sliced peppers, red onion, mushrooms and Quorn pieces in Frylight with some garlic and chilli flakes, ground ginger and cumin. Add 1 can of chopped tomatoes, 1 can of mushy peas and curry powder to taste. Let it simmer for a while and, voi la! The peas end up kind of disintegrating so that they no longer look like peas - they just thicken it up and add to the texture.
I usually add a couple of tbsp of fat free fromage frais to mine too, to make it creamy. Or, tonight I added two of the coconut greek Muller Lights - makes it taste just like a korma! Enjoy xx

hiya i wanted to pop on and say you look great. you have done amazing. loved reading through your diary as your menus look like a typical day o would enjoy. love the way you shake it up too. i have discovered new healthy extras reading this as well...may copy your menu to see how o get on, only problem being i am not keen on quorn tho would love to be as it would make green days easier. when you have chicken and bacon salad do you have a dressing? o normally have it with pasta with philly garlic and herb mixed thru but want to try red days...good luck x

Aww, thank you so much! That's really kind of you to say so.
I do try and keep things mixed up a bit as I find it helps weight loss, rather than eating the same things day in, day out. I am always finding out about new things from Mini's - just one of the reasons I love this place so much
I hated Quorn at first, but I have grown to love it. I just kept trying it, and trying different recipes with it. I think the reason I disliked it so much to begin with was probably because I didn't know what to do with it - it was all new to me and I didn't really have a clue!
With my salad, I tend to use either just balsamic vinegar (free) or sweet chilli sauce (1.5 Syns per tbsp.) I coat my chicken in Aromat, cumin and garlic & chilli flakes before frying it, so it already has lots of different flavours going on.
Thanks again for visiting and good luck with your journey xx
Congrats on the loss this week hunny you are on fire now
Thank you honey, I am still beaming from it

oooo Mexican night sounds lush, I wouldn't have thought of using the quorn lime sticky fillets, great idea
It's only because I have no Quorn pieces in and I can't be bothered to stop at Tesco on the way home, so I am improvising! :giggle: How lazy is that!! xx

Ahh nooo, Tesco must have stopped stocking it then. The past two or three weeks mine haven't had any in! Thanks for letting me know hun, will pop to Sainsbury's for some next time.
Have a great weekend xx
