hi i had the chicken chow mein for lunch today it was very nice and surprisingly there was quite a bit of food i was going to have my crispbread with it but there is no need so i guess i will look forward to that later. is it ok to have this meal again for tea time i.e. twice in the same day???

[Faithy]

You sure can Jacin.. so long as you stick to the amounts on your program ..

So glad you enjoyed it.

Faithy- These are amazing. Thanks keep them up. You've been on the program and finished, and doing great, so it's good to see how you did things to make it tasty and interesting. Thanks.

Chicken Breast (Allowance)
Salt
Pepper
Paprika

Sauce
Tomato (Allowance)
Capsicum (Allowance)
Onion (Allowance)
Salt
Pepper
Chilli powder
Sprite Zero
Water

Cook chicken breast that's been seasoned with salt, pepper & paprika in a non stick frying pan until cooked. Remove from pan & allow to sit while cooking the veggies.

Dice veggies to fairly small pieces & season with salt, pepper & chilli powder, place in frying pan with water & Sprite Zero till just covered. Cook till veggies have gone soft & the water & Sprite have evaporated a fair bit.
When veggies have softened, blend veggies & the left over liquid till a nice smooth sauce then place back in frying pan.
Cut the chicken breast in to strips & place in the sauce over the heat. Boil for about half to a minute & then serve.

[Faithy]

OK, so this recipe is still on the experimental side & a little bit dodgy. Let me know if you have more consistent success than me.

Zucchini (Allowance)
Apple (Half )
Cinnamon
Sprite Zero
Egg (Allowance)
Salt
Pepper

Stew apple & cinnamon in Sprite Zero
Grate zucchini & blend apple & zucchini together.

Now I've tried this both the following ways..
1) Beat egg white till stiff. Blend egg yolk & apple, zucchini mixture together & then fold through beaten egg whites with salt & pepper.
Spray ramekin dish with oil & cook in a moderate oven for approx. 15 minutes.

OR
2) Beat egg with blended apple & zucchini mixture with salt & pepper.
Spray ramekin dish with oil & cook in a moderate oven for approx. 15 minutes.

I think the 2nd one seems to work a bit better, but the mixture of the first one is so damn good when licking the bowl (LOL)

If you try this one, let me know how you go with it..

Oh & I've also tried it with a crumbled up crisp bread but decided the crisp bread was too precious to add to the mix

Hi Faithy

Thank you so much for posting your recipes!

Yours have been the first that I have tried out (as I am only new!) and I can't believe how much I LOVED the beef stroganoff!

I have been reading your diaries and you are an absolute inspiration and your journey has inspired me greatly.

Thanks again, L xx

[Faithy]

Wishing you the best success XXX

Faithy, firstly I want to say how much I have enjoyed reading your diary - you are amazing and look absolutely amazing too. Well done to you!!! Fantastic effort and an inspiration to all I am sure.

But, I also want to say - wow - your stroganoff was fantastic. My fella even said to make it a regular I can't wait to try your other recipes.

Take care and I hope all is well with the naturopath.

[Faithy]

Thanx so much NBS.. That means a lot.. I'm glad both you & your fella enjoyed it.. I hope you get the same pleasure from the others too

[Faithy]

OK this recipe is REALLY weird (may give some the *gag* factor)but I kind of enjoyed it.. gives new meaning to curried egg..


Cabbage (Allowance)
Tomato (Allowance)
Green Capsicum (Allowance)
Onion (Allowance)
Egg (Allowance)
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Diet Sprite
Pepper
Mayonnaise

Shred veggies finely & cook in a frying pan with sprite zero, pepper & curry powder.
When all liquid is cooked down & veggies are cooked add beaten egg & stir through veggies.. don't over cook the egg, the egg should be soft & not hard scrambled.
Serve on crispbread.

Let me know what you think

[Chloe]

These all sound great cant wait to try em

Thanks for sharing them

[Faithy]

Chicken (Allowance)
Cauliflower (Most of Allowance)
Onion (Allowance)
Tomato (small segment)
Curry Powder
Black Cracked Pepper
Touch of Salt
Water

Put all ingredients in a saucepan & add water till vegies are just covered.
Boil till cooked (approx. 10 minutes)
Blend well.

Serve with crispbreads.

VERY yummy & you control the thickness of this soup. If you want it thicker then use less water in the cooking process as I've found if you have too much & throw the liquid out you lose a lot of the flavour.
