Lasting change happens when people see for themselves
that a different way of life is more fulfilling than their present one. Eknath Easwaran
So it arrived, the snow that is and looking at the big
table in my garden we got about 4 inches!
Let’s hope it doesn’t stay, causes way too much disruption for my liking! This weather does make you wanna eat good old
fashioned comfort food though and not do much else. So yesterday we watched one film after
another and has faggots and swede and potato mash for dinner, delicious, unfortunately
I used all the potatoes because today I quite like the idea of corned beef
hash, maybe I’ll walk down to the Tesco garage with Alfie and get some.
This recipe takes 30 minutes, it was in the Saturday
newspaper magazine yesterday.
Corned beef hash and eggs (serves 4, 11pp each)
1 onion finely chopped
1 1/2tbsp vegetable oil (6pp)400g chopped & cooked potatoes (8pp)
300g tin corned beef (17pp)
100g cooked frozen peas (2pp)
1tbsp butter (3pp)
4 eggs (7pp)
Fry onions in 1tbsp veg oil until tender but not
browned. Tip the onion onto a plate and
set aside.
Add 1/2tbsp oil and a knob of butter into the pan and fry about potatoes
until they turn lightly golden. Add a
300g tin of corned beef, cut into cubes, and fry for a few minutes
until the beef and potatoes are piping hot. Add the fried onion and a handful of cooked frozen peas and stir in well.
until the beef and potatoes are piping hot. Add the fried onion and a handful of cooked frozen peas and stir in well.
Make 4 shallow dents in the mixture and crack an egg into each
one. Season with salt and pepper, cover
with a lid and cook gently for 5 or 6 minutes until the eggs have set. Serve with a few flakes of dried chilli for a
bit of extra heat if you like.
I also found the above recipe and just worked out the ProPoints – 23pp
per person without the ice cream or custard!
I don’t care how in love you are this Valentines day, please think
before you waste crazy amounts of ProPoints on chocolate cake or similar,
remind your man flowers and cash makes your heart flutter better and keeps you
fitter ;-) I wouldn’t mind if it was a
massive cake but you cook it in a mug – then you have to share it otherwise its
costing you 45pp! I had a 3 course
Italian meal last week for 45pp!
Well I might be productive today, I’ve already cleared off my
desk, I’ve got myself “In Trays” to try and stop me turning my desk into one
giant in tray! A little organisation can
make a whole lot of difference whether it’s in the office or the kitchen. It’s much easier to stay on track if you have
some kind of plan. If you don’t buy the
not so great stuff, you can’t eat it. If
you don’t cook too much – your portion won’t be too big! Remember habits take time to change but you
can change them, one day at a time. xx
