Well I hope you all had a good year in 2008 and if not that the year ahead is going to be even better.
Life holds so many new things for me in the year ahead. Im hoping to be a bit more on to it when it comes to posting stuff on here, so keep coming back regularly and check it out.
Went over to some freinds house last night and I cooked a 3 course low fat dinner silly blonde thing that I am forgot to take pictures of the entire meal but let me create a word picture for you. You can check out the recipes in the recipe section here.
we started off with a vegetable and dip platter
which had yellow capsicum, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms which i marinated in fresh lime juice and black pepper,courgettes, pita bread crunchy bits, with a cottage cheese and sundried tomato dip and a pea and basil dip .
The Main course was skinless chicken which was stuffed with a little of the cottage cheese dip and slices of sundried tomato, that was then seasoned with black pepper,balsamic glaze, smoked paprika, and a very small drizzle of olive oil and then bbqed ,I served this with bbqed corn cobs seasoned with black pepper and a small drizzle of olive oil again. A salad of tomato, red onions , cucumber tossed in a light balsamic dressing and minature baked potatoes stuffed with baked beans, wholegrain mustard and potato were served on the side.
For Dessert I made a low fat chocolate cake ( I got the recipe from Taste magazine see the links page)
It was a recipe from the latest issue and it had cherries in it, I switched the cherries for fresh raspberries,fresh blueberries and fresh strawberries , and added a little vanilla to it, it was incredible and with only 5gms of fat per slice, I served this with low fat custard, and low fat greek yoghurt and decorated the top with fresh berries.
My freinds just loved it , we are all doing low fat stuff so I wanted to show how we can make a meal from start to finish using all low fat products and producing great food that if you didnt know it was low fat you couldnt tell
