Kaz's slimming recipes (not just for dieters!)

[razamakaz]

As quite a few people have told me to keep my diet recipes coming, I thought I'd start an individual thread. I posted the "Cauliflower Cheese Soup" thread with that recipe on it and also the recipe below, which I have copied here also.

Enjoy!

Cook up a pack of Macaroni Cheese Pasta'n'Sauce (leaving out the butter if you are dieting).

Using fry light, fry a finely chopped onion.

Whizz up 3 eggs and a pot of natural low fat cottage cheese in a blender.

Mix the egg mixture, onions and pasta in sauce together, transfer to a baking dish and bake until browned.

Yummy with a salad.

Red Day Cheesy Burgers (Free on Red Day if using cheese as HE)

Fry a finely chopped onion in fry light until cooked and browned.

Mix into a pack of very lean minced beef.

Divide into four and split each section, inserting a Laughing Cow Light cheese triangle into the middle.

Seal so cheese is inside and meat completely covers it.

Bake until cooked.
