Well, finally made the crustless quiche, we had friends coming for lunch yesterday so decided to do it. When I usually make a quiche I add pancetta and top with tomatoes. One friend doesn't eat meat and the other hates tomatoes! So I made a broccoli and cheese one. Ready made, and rolled out thinly, shortcrust pastry, baked blind in a square tin.....that is quite important as you will see later. Fried off some finely chopped onions added to base of pastry case, added part cooked broccoli florets, quite small pieces, lots of cheddar, then added egg mix which also had loads of cheese in. Season obs. Cooked for however long you think, depending on size, mine was quite big, I used 10 eggs! When you take it out, remove all the excess pastry from the edges whilst it is still hot, then cool. When cool, tip onto board, slice all the edges off, so all you have left is a lovely quiche with just a thin layer of pastry on the bottom. It was delicious, did all four of us for lunch with a salad and enough left for tonight for me and Mr Eggy, going to have it with new potatoes and salad. Orders taken for whatever filling you fancy. 🙂

It is lush with the pancetta in, I just fry it off with the onions. I call it quiche Elaine! 🙂
 
These Smoked Salmon Seafood Sticks are delicious with a salad ~ as a snack ~ spread on McVities Cracker Wheat or cracker of your choice ~ or dipped in your favourite flavoured dip. Also a great filler in a wrap with salad.
Each stick has 2.49g carbs of which are 0.75g sugars.

Would be good to have in the car...sometimes not possible to eat on the 'go'...where are these from WL?
 
The trouble with those breadsticks is I would eat the whole six packs!:confused:
 
I like those stripy fish sticks you can get but somebody told me they glow in the dark so it's put me off a bit.
 
I was tempted to buy the beef jerky they're selling in Tesco. Looks appetising and would be okay for a snack. 🙂 I'm presuming no carbs but I didn't actually read the label.
 
Beef jerky is fine. I have tried it but not keen myself.
 
As it's heading towards Winter, need to start thinking about warming food. Last night I had beef mince with diced swede, turnip, carrot & peas in red wine gravy. Veggies can replace the beef with soya mince. I usually mix soya & beef mince anyway to reduce my red meat intake.
 
For anyone having probs with counting carborhydrates ~ I can highly recommend the book CARB & CALORIE COUNTER ~ available on Amazon for approx £10.49.
www.amazon.co
There is a pocket size version too. Amazon £6.99. Both worth buying IMO.
