Change
is difficult but often essential to survival!
How did
you survive the weekend? Did you survive
the weekend? I did thanks to Simple
Start and all those Filling & Healthy foods, the only thing that would have
made it even easier would have been a little planning, so that’s what I need to
do today.
Simple
Start sure helps get me back on track, because I CAN EAT without concerning
myself with overeating, and that’s not just at the weekend! It also helps because I only have Filling
& Healthy foods in my house, therefore I can’t eat what isn’t there; if I
have only bought low calorie bread, I can’t waste 7pp on two slices of seeded
granary bread. If I haven’t bought
cheese and onion crisps I can’t eat them!
If my kitchen is full of Filling & Healthy foods then I’m following
Simple Start as that’s all that’s available to me. I shall be taking my shopping list with me today
and ensuring I stock up on the good stuff.
Top of
my list always are eggs, so versatile and delicious and always my first choice
for breakfast, mmm can’t beat eggs on toast.
Then there’s potatoes, another top of the shopping list item, Actifry chips,
mashed potato both quick and tasty, or maybe try something different
Potato and Ham Bake S/S, F&H or 6pp per serving, serves 2
500g
Potatoes
1 medium
Onion, All Types, about 125g
100g Pre-packed
Ham, lean, cooked, all fat removed
400ml
Fresh Vegetable Stock, vegetable or chicken
1 level tsp
Cumin seeds, about two good pinches
2 sprigs Fresh
Thyme leaves
1/4 tsp freshly
ground Black Pepper,
1 pinch
Salt
·
Wash the
potatoes well, pat dry then slice thinly either in a food processor or by hand.
·
Peel and
thinly slice the onion. Cut the ham into thin shreds.
·
Heat the
oven to 190°C. Layer the potato, onion and ham in a medium size shallow
ovenproof dish sprinkling the cumin, thyme leaves and seasoning in between and
finishing with a layer of potato.
·
Pour over
the stock and press the potato down under the stock. Cover with foil and bake
for ½ hour. Uncover and return to the oven to brown and crisp the top for
another 30 minutes. Stand for 10 minutes before serving.
That
sounds tasty and easy.
I like
fish too I have to say and it’s really good for us apparently, I’ll add that to
my list, I fancy beef burgers too after seeing someone elses on facebook, so extra
lean mince beef and homemade burgers it is then, ooo and those Greek patties
from the F&H cookbook, need to dig that out for a few more ideas.
Yes I’m
glad I’m following Simple Start this week, it’s what I’ve needed to break that cycle
or eating junk that I’d been doing whilst mom was poorly.
Right I’m
off to write my shopping list, have a great day, it’s a glorious Monday morning
out there – Eat Gorgeous – BeYOUtiful – you know you’re worth it. xx
