New recipes

[Joan]

What was the last new recipe you tried? Do you often try out new things or tend to stick to what you know? I really what to cook more new things Pinterest has loads of ideas, it's just getting on and buying what I need.

This is the one I plan on doing this week.

Well I sorta did this, I was sure there was a shoulder of lamb in the freezer, and it turns out there was only a leg of lamb, so that was the first change, I got to use olive oil on it, nevermind! I think I should have taken it out of the slow cooker a bit earlier, it tastes okay but wasn't falling off the bone like I hoped.

 

[Nix]

Maybe it needed longer to cook so it was falling off the bone. When I use the slow cooker it should cook until the meat starts to fall apart...that's how I do it, even for a joint of meat rather than a stew.

I tend to stick to what I know but occasionally I'll find a new recipe and I'll enjoy it. Especially in the Slow Cooker. There are a few slow cooker recipes on Slimming World that are good. Like diet coke chicken and pulled pork.

I try the stuff from food wishes once in a while, maybe not to the t, but i get pretty close; it's just uglier haha. Still very tasteful.

Going to make a chicken curry in the slow cooker this weekend, usually just make a curry out of the jar, but I'm going to attempt to make one with spices and everything! Well I've found an easy korma recipe on pinterest so we'll see!

I don't know if this is new for you, but it's totally a Brazilian thing:

* 1 can of condensed milk
* 2 table spoons of butter
* 2 table spoons of chocolate

Stir it all on low fire, past boil, until it gets a harder consistency/texture.

It is Brazilian's favorite sweet. - Careful: It is really sweet!!!

[Joan]

The BBC good food website is great for recipes, and they are usually already on the Myfitnesspal app as well so I don't have to figure out the nutritional values.

Well, the other day, I made my first ever banana nut loaf and it came out pretty good! I wanted to make use of some bananas that were a bit too brown for me to eat, I didn't want to waste them.

Anything banana is pretty good. Deserts, snacks, banana bread, or banana flavoured smoothies/milkshakes.

Just rice with corn and every one of the leftovers- with chicken and add gravy. With ribs shredded in little items add items of everything and it's smart. no matter you prepare add plenty of love- that may hump for you and for your family, that is the best ingredient.

Oooh, that sounds so yummy.

Right now I am in the kitchen boiling water, I've added a splash of oil and pinch of salt and spices. I am waiting for the boil and then adding some leftover macaroni pasta to it. It's not a lot but I am hoping I can make two portions out of it. So I have pasta tonight with melted cheese on top and a sauce I am making soon. And then again another day.

I have a jar now filled with macaroni pasta but I don't want to open that one just yet.
