Empty jar of nopales in a strainer and rinse in cold water. Clean until the cactus has no more sludge and brine is washed away. Chop half of the cilantro and white onion into small pieces. In a bowl add nopales, cilantro, onion and toss. Add lemon juice and salt to taste. To make this recipe stretch give the nopales a few rough chops. Chill before serving at least an hour.

If you’re like me and enjoy full English breakfast but are dieting, it can be a bummer to cut out this heavenly sinful meal. Well, I have devised a way to do this, relatively guilt-free. 

All items must be calculated for calorific/fat/carb content as there is no magic wand to make these disappear. However, be sensible and honest and you can enjoy it. 

I manage to make this filling and satifying meal for approx 550-600 calories (minus the beans though).

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
Matterson's turkey rashers or extra lean bacon (such as WW; no visible fat)
Meat-free sausages (take care with the calorie/fat content as some can be loaded to make up taste) or alternatively very low fat regular sauasages
Mushrooms
1 egg
1 small tin of baked beans/with or without added sausages
low-fat/calorie spray oil
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Directions:
1] Spray a frying pan with low-fat spray and add sliced mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.
2] Add the sausages to cook alongside the mushrooms.
3] Heat the beans in a saucepan gently.
4] When mushrooms cooked through, remove from pan and set aside on warm plate ready for serving.
5] Add the turkey rashers/bacon into the pan.
6] When remaining items are cooked, remove from pan and place on plate alongside mushrooms.
7] Add another spray of low-fat oil and when temp ok, fry egg.
8] When egg cooked to own preference, serve with other items, adding the beans also.
9] Eat and enjoy.

This is dish of braised chicken breast and vegetables that can be made in any sized portions, so you can make it for yourself or for the whole family.  It’s really is so tasty that the rest of the family won’t care that it is healthy and low in fat if you do make it for everyone.

Servings: 1 +

Ingredients:
Small to medium lean chicken breast (one per person)
Carrots, sliced (I use lots of carrots and onions to fill up on)
Onions, sliced
Celery, sliced (don't go too overboard if you're not fond of celery, as the favour can overpower the dish)
potatoes, sliced (optional, and don't use too many, I suggest about 1 x small to medium potato, per person)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to season
Fresh or dried rosemary
A little sprinkling of mixed herbs (oregano, parsley, thyme)
Stock made with 1 x chicken/vegetable stock cube mixed with 1/2 pint of hot water per person/portion

Directions:
1]Preheat the oven to 180C/350F, reduce this to 150C/300F if you're using a fan-assisted oven.
2]Trimmed all of the fat off the chicken breast/s.
3]Chop and slice all the vegatables (holding back a handful of onions) and put into a large ovenproof casserole/braising dish.
4]Heat a fying pan on a medium/high heat and seal off the chicken and the remaining onions. Do not add any oil to the pan unless the pan is not non-stick. If this is the case, use only a teaspoon (5mls) of olive oil to prevent sticking.
5]When the chicken is a nice golden brown on each side, add it to the oven dish along with the onions in the pan.
6]Mix the stock cube with hot water and pour over the contents of the dish.
7]Add mixed herbs, salt and pepper and rosemary and stir to evenly distribute throughout the dish.
8]Cook for 1 & 1/2 hours in the oven or until chicken and vegetables tender.
9]Serve with SMALL crusty bread roll.

Supposedly helps you sleep better. Makes 12 low-fat muffins
Between the bananas, the whole wheat, and the honeyed touch of sweetness, these muffins are practically an edible lullaby.

Servings: 12

Ingredients:
· 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 1 tablespoon baking powder
· 2 large, very ripe bananas
· 1/3 cup applesauce
· 1/4 cup honey
· 1/2 cup milk or soymilk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine the flour (make sure it's whole-wheat pastry flour or you'll produce golf balls, not muffins), salt, and baking powder. In a blender, puree the bananas; add the applesauce, honey, and milk. Blend well. Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Line muffin tins with paper muffin cups, pour in batter, and bake 30 minutes or until tops are lightly brown and slightly springy.
