The ultimate in substitutions....
I made Nom Nom Paleo - Michelle Tam Thai Basil Chicken today.

Except:
I didn't have any chicken, so used beef.
I didn't have any fresh green beans, so used a jar of beans.
I didn't have any Thai chili peppers but found some chilis I grew (and dried) about 7 years ago.
I didn't have any Thai green basil, or any basil, in fact... So I used frozen spinach and some dried basil.

It was . But if you head to the , don't blame me if yours looks better.

stew from

I very rarely cook beef but when I saw the all-of-five ingredients for this stew, I figured it was worth a shot.

Basically it's beef, black pepper, garlic, salt and a bottle of red wine.

Yeah, a bottle.

It was and even Steve (hates beef) enjoyed it. Counting that as a win.

Made Jamie Oliver Gochujang Chicken Noodle Traybake.

Only I didn't have "sweetheart cabbage" whatever the heck that is so I used brussel sprouts instead. It's christmas, innit?

Oh. And used chicken legs instead of thighs. And big onions instead of spring onions.

But otherwise, nailed it. Honest.

I made a the other day. Basically mascarpone and cream cheese and cream, fresh figs and raspberries.

Not totally sugar free or low carb (but biscuits for the base are amazing), but sometimes needs must, eh?

Still, .

Wasn't all for me, I should add!

Chicken and Mascarpone Pasta Bake

But, there's no pasta. Because pasta isn't low carb, silly. So replaced it with oven roasted cauliflower and it was !

Super easy, too. Basically, chicken breast, cauliflower, tin of chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic and some herbs. Boom!! Oh, and some cheddar melted on top.

Caramelized pork ribs.

Never cooked pork ribs before. Very tasty but really fiddly cause it was a pack of pre chopped rib pieces. Still, yum.

I did use a teaspoon of sugar in this dish, but hey.

Asian Inspired* Spicy Chicken and Green Bean stir-fry



*I say inspired because it's probably not some proper Chinese or whatnot dish but it was spicy and cooked in a wok. 😁

I can do meals, too!

Roasted beetroot, broccoli, chickpea salad with a creamy tahini(ish) dressing

(You know, half the time I post these so I remember how I made them)

I roasted broccoli, two beets and a jar of chickpeas in the oven. Dressing was tahini, plus cashew nut butter and peanut butter because I ran out of tahini. Plus apple cider vinegar, a drop of honey, garlic and onion powder and some chilli and salt whizzed together.

Threw all in a bowl and added a handful of cranberries. And raisins because I didn't realize I'd bought mixed.

It was super creamy and delicious! Probably more carbs than I'd normally have, but variety, eh?

Blueberry and mascarpone cheese bites.

I rarely make sweet things. But I these from a roll of fathead(ish) dough I prepared. Basically, the base is a pack of shredded mixed cheese, almond flour, egg and cream cheese. Then baked and after cooled topped with three blueberries and a spoonful of mascarpone cheese.
