Tempted to eat the same meal daily for life!!

Well, not really because I would go insane. I have, however found a meal that is fantastic for keeping post meal spikes to an absolute minimum...

Mediterranean roasted vegetables and Quorn pieces. I use corguette, cherry tomatoes, mixed peppers and red onion. Chopped fresh garlic, Italian seasoning, roasted in fry light. It’s absolutely delicious.

Both times I’ve made it this week the rise has been small in comparison to some meals. Today I only rose by 0.6. Impressed.

It’s making its way onto my list of staple recipes.

Absolutely. I eat Quorn daily but in a variety of dishes. I don’t know why I’d never made Mediterranean roasted veg before.

I love roasted vegetables too + easy to do 🙂

So simple. I usually make chillis, pastas (not so much now), curries, soups, veggie roasts etc. Nice to have something new for the repertoire.

Try some polenta, roasted veggies, tofu (is not for everyone taste!), peppers. Try making your own veggie burgers. I keep to hand when cooking: Fresh garlic, garlic granules, smoked paprika (my fav), ground ginger, black pepper, mustard powder, onion granules/powder, cumin, turmeric, mixed dried herbs, mixed spices.

Humous and sliced peppers. etc;

I have made this many times: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-chili-in-crock-pot-or-instant-pot-paleo-gluten-free/

I usually make it in the Instant Pot, but I'm sure the slow cooker version will be just as good. It's a great, hearty, thick chilli without any thickeners in ot, thus helping keep the carbs down.

If you are veggie, I'm sure you could switch the protein out for that of your choice. If you want a few more calories inthere, adding some black olives adds a similar mouth feel to kidney beans, without deflecting the flavours.

It freezes very well, in my experience and can be quickly reheated in the microwave, if you choose.

I sometimes have this with cauli rice, or steamed brocolli or cauli, or just in a bowl on its own. It is extremely filling and family friendly.

If you lick quick and tasty, and a variation on a tray bake, have a look at some crack slaw recipes. I often use crack slaw as a fridge clearing meal. Again delicious and incredibly versatile, with any ingredients and flavours you fancy.

If you are testing, I found swapping the mince out for quorn mince, (a lot less saturated fat), and actually adding more beans, and serving without rice used to work well for me.
The beans are high fibre, and didn't spike me.

I’m vegetarian so that wouldn’t be a problem for me personally. I eat Quorn daily.

I had to google "crack slaw".
It's actually not bad.
I had to make a few changes, but it is a good idea otherwise.

I left the fat out, and dry fried.
Mushroom, onion, a handful of stir fry veg.
A leek and cabbage mx.
Brown and basmati rice.
Quorn pieces.
A few chilies and some garlic.
All served in chili infused wraps, with a sprinkling of cheese, and a drizzle of yogurt to take the edge off the heat.

All the odds and ends from the fridge really.
Good tip.
