Was really craving a roast! But we've given up meat so got a little creative. Roasted off parsnips, carrots, leeks, red onion, mushrooms, crushed garlic cloves and baby plum tomatoes with fry light, mixed herbs, garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning. Then added in four Linda McCartney red onion sausages cut into quarters. Once all cooked, I added two knorr vegetable stock pots, a pint of water and tsp of smash to thicken. Then back in the oven to finish off. Skin on mashed potato, broccoli, seasoning and tbsp quark. Plain boiled peas. So delicious!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 #poormansnigella #feedfeed #vegetarian (at London, United Kingdom)

Guilt free cauliflower cheese: Cut a cauliflower and broccoli, then boil/ steam until tender. Drain and then put back in the pan. Chop leeks and fry off with fry light.

Trying some guilt free cake baking ideas. Just whipped up these lemon drizzle cupcakes. Practice run!!! 6 Scan Bran blitzed until a powder. 4 eggs separated. Yolks added to the bran and whites set aside and whisked until stiff. 3 tbsp of sweetener. Add in lemon essence, lemon and lime zest. 1 vanilla muller light. Mix all together. Then fold in the egg whites. Spoon into cases. Makes twelve. 50g of icing sugar and the juice of a lemon and lime for the icing. I'm going to change the method and not whisk the egg whites separately, as the texture is a bit more soufflé than I wanted. Will re try and also try making scan bran carrot cake. 🍰🎂🍋 #poormansnigella #feedfeed #healthybaking (at London, United Kingdom)

Today I had a meeting in central. The people I was with both had a Five Guys. I sat with them and drank my bottle of water and had an Alpen Light bar. Made sure I'd had my salad and fruit before I went out. If that's not will power, I don't know what is. Came home and made my own healthy version! Massive thumbs up from my boyfriend too. Skin on chips/ wedges. Big salad of mixed leaves, cucumber, pepper and baby plum tomatoes. Schar gluten free roll. Toasted bun and spread with quark. Burger made with 5% beef mince, dried garlic granules, onion powder, mixed herbs and chilli flakes. Cooked with fry light and then once part cooked, put under the grill with a slice of reduced fat cheddar cheese to melt. Sliced red onions on the top and gherkin to the side. Corn on the cob with lots of seasoning. Also had a squeeze of French's mustard. 🥗🍔🍟🌽 #poormansnigella #feedfeed (at London, United Kingdom)
