Scrambled Eggs with Bran Recipe

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Notes:
I was recommended to try this years ago when I was on a low carb plan as it adds much needed fibre to your diet and got a taste for it. It adds a great nutty texture and taste to the usual scrambled eggs.

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
2-3 Eggs
1-2 tablespoons of Wheat/Oat Bran
Splash of milk
Salt
Pepper
Knob of butter/margarine/low fat spread (optional)

Directions:
I'll put a quick description of how I make my eggs but just add the bran to the mix before you cook your eggs as usual.

Break the eggs into a bowl
Add the rest of the ingredients
Beat until combined
Place in a pan over medium heat until just cooked or nuke in the microwave for a couple of minutes

Veggie Pasta Bake Recipe

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Notes:
This is adapted from an old weight watchers receipe, it is so good I eat it even when I’m not dieting.
Depending on what type of diet you are doing adjust the quantities to match.
I’ll post the amounts I usually use when I make it for myself but it can easily be made as a family meal or shared if you have a smaller appetite

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1 small onion
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1 can chopped tomatoes
Dried herbs (to taste)
Tomato puree (to thicken)
1 can beans (kidney/butter/cannolini/mixed)
1 portion cooked pasta (penne works well)
1/2 slices of bread (granary or wholemeal is best)
Grated cheese

Directions:
Slice the onion and peppers
Soften in a non-stick pan
Add the chopped tomatoes, dried herbs and tomato puree
Cook out for 2 minutes on a medium heat
Drain, rinse and add the beans
Cook for a further 3 minutes
Add the pasta, stir well
Transfer to an oven proof dish
Tear the bread into small chunks and place on top of the sauce
Finish with a sprinkling of grated cheese
Place in a hot oven until the bread is crunchy and the cheese is melted
