RECIPES:Please share your favourites :)

My DH only grills. He tried spaghetti on Friday; it was almost edible. Lol.

He is really good at mopping however...all those years in the Army.
 
Dh doesn't cook much either and a mop? Well he wouldn't know what one looks like:haha: He vacumed once and I took a photo, and he only vacumed because it was new vacum and he wanted to try it:wacko: He's a fantastic guy but he hates housework:haha:
 
Mine is basically a SAHD right now, so he's learning. Lol
 
I have to have fight my DH out of the kitchen to cook sometimes :) We both love to cook and DH is a fab cook :) I think that's the reason we both have weight issues :haha:

Ok another healthy recipe ladies which is great as a snack or a side dish (and is sin free for those following Slimming World - Baked Sweet Potato:

Wooly, have you tried these sweet potatoes? I am wondering if they really do get crisp in the oven?
 
Yeap I've tried them and they do crisp up :thumbup: So yummy and so low in fat too :thumbup:
 
These sound yummy too..another recipe for the weekend:thumbup: I buy the sweet potato fries for the kids but this is an even healthier option so I'm going to give it a go. DS will eat veggies but DD is a bit of a tough customer but this looks promising.
 
Loving this thread. So many new recipe ideas and things to try. I will post my family favourites but its good old hearty food not so much low in fat. :)
 
I'm happy with family favourites that stick to the ribs:thumbup: Doesn't have to be low fat, we're just looking for tasty recipes:haha:

Ok another recipe (sorry another from my slimming club) :)

Smoked Haddock and Pea Risotto (Serves 4)

4 X 142g/5oz smoked haddock fillets
1.2l/2pt fish stock
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 large leek, washed and finely chopped
255g/9oz dried risotto rice
397g/14oz fresh or frozen peas
100g/3.5oz fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
4 large eggs

1) Place the haddock in a large saucepan of water and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat and allow the fish to sit in the water, covered, for 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2) Bring the stock to the boil in a large pan over a medium heat, then turn the heat doen as low as it will go to keep the stock hot without letting it reduce.

3) Place 198ml/7fl oz of the warmed stock in another large pan and add the onion and leek and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are softened. Add the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the peas and spinach.

4) Add the stock to the rice a ladle at a time and keep stirring until each ladle is absorbed. Keep adding the stock, stirring as often as possible until the rice is al dente (approx 20-25 minutes).

5) Skin and flake the haddock into bite sized pieces and gently stir it into the rice. Keep the risotto warn while poaching the eggs.

6) Divide the risotto onto 4 plates and top each with a poached egg. Serve immediately.

I use the water I've boiled the haddock in as my fish stock
 
That sounds great :) I haven't had Haddock in ages.I'm not even sure they sell it here, I'll have to have a look :)
 
Wait, peas? I can see Nat shaking her head from here :haha:

Sounds delish tho! Too bad I'm too lazy to try it :blush:
 
I don't think I can get smoked haddock here, but I am sure there's got to be a substitute.

Eva, did you make the mac and cheese?
 
Someone besides me has to try it, lol. I want to see if anyone else ruins it!
