Jenny’s Recipes 4 Andy and Everyone on Cohen's

[Andy46]

Since starting this journey with Cohen's I could not have been so successful with out the %100 commitment of my wife of 25 years who has prepared and cooked almost all my meals.
Through her cooking I have not become sick of the food and I have not deviated - not even once.

With her planning and presentation and efforts of watching the clock and supporting me %110 - through the good days and the few moody days - I have achieved more than I ever thought possible and will achieve much much more.

I still have a long way to go but thought I would add and share her recipes that she has adapted and created specially for me so that it helps every one on the same road.

Hopefully they will benefit many more as much as they have for me.

Remember all quantity’s to suit YOUR allowances as per total meal allowance for your plan. After cooking yours first to your plan - increase quantity for all the family to enjoy the good healthy meal!!!!!!!

Oh, thanks Andy... you've just solved my dilemma with Melbourne Cup yummies. The warm chicken salad reads scrumptious Just now have to work out what to do about drinks!!!

I feel bad too, I've been rather plain and boring with our foods and not really trying, hubby's not complaining though. This will definitely help more with meal planning. Thank you I'll definitely be checking back to this thread for more yummy ideas.

Fresh Tuna Rissoles

Fresh Tuna {allowance}
50 gram’s of onion, tomato & celery combined to mx into tuna.
Sprig of parsley
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
30 ml’s Diet lemon
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
Olive oil spray


Lettuce {made up of the rest of your vegetable allowance}

Arrange lettuce, tomato and capsicum on a plate.
Whiz tuna and other ingredients in food processor or finely chop and mix together.
Heat fry pan with 3 egg rings in it and spray with olive oil when *hot* then add tuna mix to the 3 egg rings.
Smooth the top with the back of the spoon then spray with olive oil so they won’t stick to the pan when you turn them over.

Serve with salad when cooked.

[color=red]*Hint : With egg rings always make sure they are oiled and hot before you put eggs or anything else in them. If they are hot no food will stick to the egg rings. They will then come away clean.

Hi Andy,

Thankyou......Your recipes couldn't have come at a better time.

I had this huge can of tuna to use and I am sick of it just with salad. It's sooooo much to chomp thru and must say tuna is a bit dry.

So I logged o today and thought I' d have a look and see if anybody has ever posted a tuna recipe and bingo there it was your tuna rissole recipe. YUM YUM..... I made them for lunch .Very tasty and hats off to your wife with her creative cooking.

I sure will try some others during the week.

Have a top week,
Damble.
