Hello Dear Reader,
I love a meat ball, koftka or a burger! My local butchers sells four kilos of minced beef for £10 so I can make pure beef burgers really affordable.
Here’s how I made them.
Place the minced beef in a large bowl - season well with salt and pepper, don’t skimp.
2 heaped tsp of Baharat - it’s an Arabic seasoning with: allspice, ground black pepper, cardamom, cloves, coriander, nutmeg and paprika. If you can find any, have a go it’s great.
I also added one finely chopped red chilli
I have a really easy recipe for a creamy dressing, I add a tablespoon of mint sauce to a pot of fat free yoghurt and stir, that’s it. It’s delicious.
When I cook burgers or meatballs, I cook them in a frying pan, but periodically drain off any fat that renders out. I place a plate on top of them, hold it down and tip the fat out into a bowl and pop it in the bin when it’s cold.
To pad out salads and keep them affordable, I grate a couple of large carrots per person and pile it up. I really like the sweetness and carrots are really cheap.
The finished result is a pile of homemade burgers, fat free dressing and a heap of cheap salad. I bought the romaine lettuce on offer in Aldi.
Week one of Slimming World went well and I’ve lost 3lbs, there were some really inspirational people there who have lost a phenomenal amount of weight and some really funny people who head straight out to the Chinese takeaway after a half pound weight loss. I love people watching and listening to their funny stories.
Any one have any funny weight loss club stories.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxxx
