So cooking again yay, well my blog is call dyslexic cooking so after a few weeks of doing none, well apart from the bog standard family meal that rule my life. But hey I do work full time have a toddler and a husband and trying to have a life so whipping up culinary masterpiece everyday is not feasible, when I win the lottery and have my dream kitchen I promise to cook every day lol.
This week I have been busy I cooked up another Prawn Pasta (see the 9th June blog for full recipe details)
Love this dish as it quick and easy and you can make loads so it last a few night.
Much the same with my next recipe as you know I'm trying, and not very successfully I might add (see the buns and the bacon sarnies post for proof) to do Slimming World. I have lost 10lb which I suppose is better than putting it on, but considering I being doing since January not great. Although one of my New Year resolution was to loose weight (Luckily I didn't put how much) so if I can just not put it all back on by Dec 31st for the first times I would have achieved a resolution lol.
Any who I made a Slimming World Lasagne as we say here in the UK.
Ingredients for this:
500g of 5% fat lean mince
1 chopped onion (I was lasy and bought pre-chopped)
500g of veg for roasting (this can be anything you fancy I like bell peppers and courgettes/Zucchini)
100g of Mushrooms
Carton of Passata
Can or Carton of chopped tomatos
300g of Fat free Greek Yogurt (For the white Sauce)
Lasagne Sheets (Dried)
and not featured in the pic but any herbs and spices you might want to add.
Firstly I put on the oven and cooked the roasted vegetable, I used 1% spray oil to keep it nice and healthy.
they go on at 200c oven for 25 minutes.
Then when they were firmly underway cooking, I started to brown the meat and the onions.
I then added in the mushrooms
cooked them off for a minute or two before adding the Passata and the chopped tomatoes.
Then once the vegetables were nice and roasted I added them too.
Which made a lovely pasta bolognese sauce, but we are making Lasagne so on-wards.
After grabbing a deep dish
I added a layer of the meat to the bottom.
Then layered on some pasta sheets.
Then covered the sheet in a layer of the Greek yogurt.
I then repeated this process and just for me (if you don't want the calories and what it to be syn free don't add it) a bit of low fat mature cheddar on top (40g)
baking in a 200+ degree oven for 35 minutes
You then end up with was a delicious, filling, tasty and very very low in fat dinner for two nights.
Add it with a bit of salad and you got a meal that will leave you full but without the guilt.
So I hope you give it a go :)
My one last thing before signing off this week is how exciting was the news about the Disney World expansion at Disney Hollywood Studios?? if you haven't heard about it, what have you been living in a little box? you can read about it here
As you know I am a huge Disney fan and a bit of a Star Wars geek so to be able to geek out with the Star Wars in the same place I can geek out with the mouse I think I'm going to have some sort of fit lol.
Although am a bit bummed that they are not starting work till 2017 and with how long it took them to do the Fantasy Land expansion I can see it being another 3 years on top. The only thing that is a plus side is my little one will be around 8/9 when it is completed so I would say Optimum age for Star War Madness yay.
So with Disney being so prevalent in the news I have decided to start a holiday fun to fund a trip for me and the family (think I mention that I wanted to start one a while back,but hey I'm dyslexic so we have idea and then another one takes over that why if it not on my to do list is ain't happening lol) but this time I have started it.
I have costed up a total for my trip and it's not going to be cheap and currently as it stands the fund is just getting to about the 1% mark of the total amount. So a long way to go (Think Star Wars land will be open before I hit the total lol)
I have decided I will achieve the total by getting some stuff that has been sitting around on ebay, cutting back on excessive spending, more batch cooking and going to use the train problems I have to my advantage and every time I get a delay repay compensation I will stick it in the fun so come on delays and cancellation lol
My Disney Dream is currently 99% away from target, but hey at least it's not a 100%
