Diet Day 29 (A Dukan Day) & Ham “Sandwich”
Shockingly, and much to my relief, I was still the same weight this morning as I was on Friday! That’s a total of 5lbs in 4 weeks and my BMI is now 23.9. I wasn’t going to rest on my laurels though. I still have 10lbs to go, so today has been another Dukan day. […]
Diet Days 26-28 & Sweet & Sour Chicken
So, Friday morning was the big weigh-in. I was super pleased to get on the scales and discover I was 2lbs lighter! Only 10lbs to go now until my target weight. As predicted I totally caved on Friday and had pizza. To be slightly less sinful I made thin crusts ones from scratch, and only […]
Vanilla Ice Cream Using Kenwood Chef Ice Cream Maker Attachment
Along the Ice Cream Maker Attachment for my Kenwood Chef I also received the Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book. I decided to start off with something simple, just to test how well the ice cream maker works, so I plumped for the French Vanilla recipe. I was not disappointed! The ice cream maker worked […]
Diet Day 25 (A Dukan Day), Herby Lemon Salmon and Pizza Cravings
Ok, so this is my third Dukan day this week. I’ve not had too many cravings today, though looking at all the delicious recipes on my WordPress feed do provide some temptation. I am glad it’s my last day. I do feel better for cutting out carbs though (my stomach is looking flatter), but I am looking […]
Leftover Chicken in Barbecue Sauce
This is another idea for something to do with leftover roast chicken (as opposed to just eating it cold). I’ve posted my Leftover Chicken Hot Pot recipe before, but it being summer (in name at least) I fancied something a bit lighter. I had some burger buns to use up so I tried to think of a dish I could […]
Star Porcini Stock Cubes & A Quick Pasta Recipe
I was in the supermarket the other day and spotted something I’ve never seen before, porcini mushroom stock cubes. I had no idea what they were meant to be used for but I decided to buy them anyway. I thought they’d be good for risottos, or for adding some extra mushroomy flavour in stews. The […]
More Uses for My Kenwood Chef – Making Burgers
We were having friends over for a barbecue and I was planning on making my Ultimate Burger II. As I was making a bigger batch than usual I decided to enlist the help of my Kenwood Titanium Chef to do the hard work. I used double the quantities from the original recipe. I put the […]
Slow Cooker Tandoori Chicken
I made Tandoori Chicken the other week just using a ready bought powder. Now I had a Kenwood Multi-Mill I wanted an excuse to use it so I decided to make my own tandoori marinade from scratch. Since I’ve been on my diet I haven’t used my slow cooker much, and I didn’t want it […]
Tomatoey Curry Sauce (Mild)
To have a good play with my Kenwood Multi-Mill I decided to make a a curry sauce, grinding the spices, and blending the onion, garlic and ginger to make a paste. If you don’t have a multi-mill you can grind the spices with a pestle and mortar and prepare the rest in a blend/food processor. […]
Dukan Diet Day 3 & Whole Roasted Tandoori Chicken
So I hopped on the scales this morning and I’ve lost another 1lb, which I’m more than happy with. 11lbs to go! Breakfast: A cup of coffee, and large egg boiled midway between soft and hard (see Day 1 for my method). Lunch: The weather here today was lovely, so I spent the day sunbathing and […]
