Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 28, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Double-post. Edited January 28, 2021 by Carbomb I am the God of Hellfire and I bring you a double post. Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted January 29, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 29, 2021 I think this is the appropriate post. I have one of these Sous Vide Wand It's not been used for a while, just don't get a chance to Sous Vide anymore. I also have a bag of mini ping pong balls for water regulation. I am offering it for free, all I ask is you cover the postage which I guess will be about £5. If you are interested send me a PM and if there are a few of you I will do a random draw thingy. Quote
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 30, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 30, 2021 Made a veggie lasagne with home made pasta sheets this evening. Good use of a Saturday for sure. Quote

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 30, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 30, 2021 Daughter had to make something Spanish for a school challenge so we went for this "Basque Burnt Cheesecake". It's really nice. More of a caramelised custard tart vibe than Cheesecake but really good. Absolutely foolproof too. Quote

Could have gone with going even thinner with the pasta but yeah overall it was pretty good. Definitely something I want to do again. Quote

Paid Members FLips Posted January 31, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) My Wife and I are starting to eat healthier tomorrow in the hopes of not being obese still this time next year and we're looking for some nice healthy suggestions for decent meals that aren't just "fish and veg" or "chicken and veg" as we've got a few of those combos already lined up. Also substitutes for things. We've heard Vegan Mayo is a healthier substitute for Mayo and tastes as good if not better so we're gonna try that, but we're looking for a good substitute for chips to go with our Linda McCartney Burgers (only 243 calories!). We're cutting all bad snacks out, and my go-to healthy snack is organic peanut butter and apples but would like to expand that past "fruit or veg" as again, we'll be eating a lot of that in meals so I don't want to be eating it between. We've found some nice recipes online but I've seen some of the things you lot make and bet you have some good stuff. Also for your healthy bunch, some tips of what to avoid and what to look more into. Cheers! Edited January 31, 2021 by FelatioLips Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted January 31, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 31, 2021 @FelatioLipshow about some sweet potato fries? Home made is obviously better, but frozen are fine. I season mine with salt or all purpose seasoning or paprika but were a fan of those. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 31, 2021 Moderators Posted January 31, 2021 @FelatioLips you ever had those 'energy balls' as a snack? That might be a way to mix it up and they're easy enough to make.. Quote

Paid Members stumobir Posted January 31, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) @FelatioLips crispy chickpeas are a great, low fat, little snack and couldn’t be easier to make. Drain a tin or two of chickpeas, then pat them dry or leave them on a baking sheet for an hour to air dry, you don’t want them going in to the oven wet or they’ll steam. Toss them in a dash of olive oil and throw in a bit of salt, pour on to a baking sheet and stick them in the oven at 200c for half an hour or so then sprinkle whatever spices you want on them as soon as they come out. If you store them in an airtight jar then they should last a good week but they’re very moreish so that’s unlikely. They go really well with a beer but I’m guessing you’ll be trying to cut back on that too... Another treat that I used to make was dark chocolate dipped fruit, a little goes a really long way and you can use a high % cocoa (lower sugar) chocolate as the natural sweetness of the fruit offsets the bitterness of the chocolate. Bananas and strawberries are particularly tasty. Edited January 31, 2021 by stumobir Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 1, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 1, 2021 I made this Shepherds Pie yesterday from one of the YouTube channels @Onyx2posted in the YouTube recipe thread. Bloody lovely. Did chuckle watching the video when the guy said to make the mash less wet so it holds better and then made it exactly how I make it normally. I don't like sloppy mash. Quote
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted February 1, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 1, 2021 Looks lush. Shame I can’t eat mash, as it always looks so good. Quote
