OK ladies,

I need your help. I can't cook and have no idea what I can freeze etc lmao


I'm thinking I can make:

shepards pie deffo.... may use something else instead of potatoes???? Will make extra mince and keep that to have with boiled rice one evening.....


Was also thinking fish pie but never made it before and if I'm making shepards pie, maybe one to keep back for the min....


I'm going to buy fish and cook it all at once, then put the leftover fish (salmon) with some pasta for a lunch or two that week....


Any other ideas? Help with cooking? all of the above I wouldn't normally freeze but would put in the fridge to use up.... does it need to be frozen?


Nyk xx

Add extra veg to the shepard pie to bulk it out a bit,peas and chopped up carrotts etc. For the topping you can mash suede or sweet potato which is better for you

Homemade soup,chop veg up finely or blend. Can keep in freezer or in fridge for about a day

Use passatta instead of buying jars of dolmio type sauces. You can make things like spaghetti bolognaise with passatta chopped onions garlic etc. You can make chilli with passatta as well and also a tomato type sauce for pasta

Add peas or sweetcorn through pasta to bulk it up and get more goodness etc

Use wholegrain rice and pasta instead of white,it really helps curb my appetite because wen i start with white i cant stop

Get jars of spices/herbs for the cupboard. Chilli,garlic,mixed herbs,paprika etc can be used for your recipies but can also add to other bland things to jazz them up a bit

If ur having crackers, put them on a plate and add finely chopped tomatoes and cucumber etc. Makes you feel like your actually having something and adds to your 5 a day

Get tins of fruit made with juice not syprup and keep in fridge. I do this and means theres always something there when im low in shopping

I keep tangerines and grapes in fridge, they are good for picking at and taste nicer and last longer in fridge

a lot of people use quorn instead of mince as its much healthier and tastes exactly the same, i used to do that but have reverted back to mince.
cottage pie is a good idea to freeze and spag bol, chilli con carne you can also make some curry up i buy weight watchers jars of sauces which are lovely.
butternut squash and red pepper soup is absolutely gorgeous!!! so easy to make and fat free!!! if anyone wants teh recipie let me know!!!

Thanks ladies.... I was searching through the internet and found a good receipie for sausages and pasta too

sian, I don't usually eat red peppers but post the recipie anyway xx

ok you chop up a butternut squash, red pepper and and onion boiling in vegetable stock then blend it up!! its really nice and quite sweet and you can eat as much as you want!!!

Does butternut squash have a skin on it or do you just chop it up the way it is? how much water and is it just the 1 stock cube? think i will give this a go as im allowed both those vegtables on slimming world

ill post a couple weight watchers recipies here for you see if that helps:

2 level tablespoon cornflour
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon pepper
350 g butternut squash, peeled, desseded and chopped

Instructions
Coat a large saucepan with spray cooking oil. Add onion. Sauté gently for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic, cook for 1 more minute.


Add carrots, butternut squash and vegetable stock to saucepan. Bring up to the boil, then reduce the heat. Add all remaining vegetables and stir in 2-3 tablespoons of curry paste, according to taste. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until vegetables are tender.


Make raita by mixing yogurt, mint or coriander and cucumber.

hearty scotch broth
115 g lamb mince, lean
25 g cooked pearl barley

Dry fry the mince in a large saucepan for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to separate and lightly brown it. Pour on 1.2 litres (2 pints) of cold water. Bring it to the boil and then use a large, shallow spoon to remove any scum that forms on the surface.


Reduce the heat, add the pearl barley and prepared vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cover and leave to simmer gently for 50-60 minutes.


Adjust the seasoning to taste. Stir in the parsley, ladle into warm soup bowls and serve immediately.

those are 2 good recipies which i make quite often you can add chicken or something to teh curry if you want.

pina- yes you need to peel the butternut squash first of all then chop it up, and its 2 pint of water on the vegetable stock ill see if i can find the offical recipie lol oh yes here it is!

5 spray low-fat cooking spray
1 large onion(s), chopped
1 portion(s) butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped into chunks
1 medium Pepper, red, deseeded and chopped
2 portion stock cube, vegetable stock, dissolved in 1.2 litres (2 pints) hot water

Spray a large saucepan with low fat cooking spray. Add the onion and cook gently for about 3 minutes, until softened, but not browned.


Add the butternut squash, red pepper and vegetable stock. Heat until simmering, then cook gently for about 25 minutes, partially covered, until the vegetables are tender.then blend .
