I used to have corned beef as well, used to cut it up into small cubes and use as a snack food..........

Theres probably tons of stuff I could be eating and dont know it!!!! What about tinned tomatoes anyone?

I think tomatoes are one of the more carbier veggetables, but they are a vegetable (or are they a fruit

) so I would eat them in moderation, if you want a couple of tinned tomatoes with your breakfast I would say go for it, I have them for breakfast

Been using fresh grilled tomato for brekkie but was thinking of adding a tin to some meat and making a kinda stew with lots of veggies.

Donna that sounds like a great idea, also tinned tomatoes are very very good for you

let me know how you get on

and don't forget to post the recipe

Donna · 07-02-2006, 11:46 PM

Wont be that exciting Emma. I am not a cook at all. Dont have anything in my house like herbs and spices and a lot of the recipes say to add stuff like that so will need to go buy lots of spices to add flavours.

Did see a receipe for corned beef - on the Atkins website. Use cabbage and mashed cauliflower with corned beef and pan fry it. sounds delicious!

Hmmm that recipe for corned beef does sound nice doesn't it.

How about growing some herbs Donna?? you can grow them on a windowsill and if you get the children involved it could be good fun, perhaps let them grow a pot themselves???

Need to look into herbs and spices a bit. Totally alien to me!!

EmmaG · 07-02-2006, 11:56 PM

whole spices are great as they keep for ages and you can just crush them to release all of the spiciness

At the moment I just love coriander, it seems to go with a lot of dishes, currys, fish, chicken, salads. Perhaps you should just buy a different fresh herb pot from the supermarket each week and see which ones you like??
