Dieting/Low Carbs

[EmmaG]

Here is a nice recipe for cheesy stuffed mushroom.

take one large mushroom, remove any outer skin. Place on a baking try, flat side down so the stalk is face up, dot fresh with butter, then spread a little bit of cream cheese ontop of butter then add some slices of cheddar cheese, finish with herbs of your choice, drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and then place in a hot oven (200c) for 20-30 mins until nice and brown on top.

If you want to add a bit of crunch to this you could also add a few chopped cashew nuts, but it will increase the carb levels

Looks lovely Emma, but I cannot stand mushrooms!!!!

Anyway, had stir fry chicken tonight. Was ok, nothing special. Didnt know if you added anything to it other than the stir fry stuff and the chicken!!!! Oh well, am full up anyway!

[EmmaG]

Now why did I think you liked mushrooms??????????? aarrrggghhhh I am going mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Glad you liked your stir fry you can add a little bit of soy sauce, if you can find a stir fry sauce that is lowish carbs you can have that (Don't forget if you are serving it to more than one person to divide up the carb count) and you can always drain off a bit of the sauce by serving it with a slotted serving spoon

Either that if you find one that seems quite high only use half and add a bit of water to make it go further

Mushrooms are like prawns!! I am a bit scared of them

Did open my newly purchased bottle of worcester sauce but didnt know if I could use it so only sprinkled a tiny bit on and couldnt taste it!!!

Emma had chicken chow mein which I made!!! Bought the packet of noodles and sprouty thingies and just added chicken and she poured loads of soy sauce on.

Sean followed our healthy-ish meal with a pizza - NOT!!!

I'm glad you forgot Donna doesn't like mushrooms Emma and posted the pic because that looks yummy and I have made a note of it!!

[EmmaG]

lol the prawns I can sort of understand but scared of mushrooms ??????

Yes Worcesther sauce is fine, you can also use that in your stews/casseroles

Donna you can have the sprouty things they are VERY low carb and quite nice to snack on raw They are called beansprouts I think

Hey Sean is no doubt burning loads of calories off at his age lucky thing

Thanks Mags glad I didn't waste my photography skills there The mushroom was very nice

You can also add a bit of wilted spinach to it as well
