Quiche

The sun has been shining in Manchester over the weekend and I fancied something other than my usual salad, so I made Slimming World quiche. It turned out so well that I thought I’d share the recipe with you.

Ingredients:
-Your choice of superfree veggies. I used one small onion, one pepper and two handfuls of mixed frozen veg;
-150g of low fat cottage cheese;
-3 eggs;
-Salt and pepper.

Method:

1)      Dry-fry your vegetables of choice.  

2)      In a separate bowl mix together the 3 eggs and 150g cottage cheese (make sure you check the syns before you purchase your cottage cheese).

3)      Add salt and pepper to both the veggies and the cottage cheese mix;

4)      Put the chopped vegetables in an oven-proof flan dish -- also known as a sandwich dish -- and pour the cottage cheese mix onto it;

5)      Set the oven to gas mark 5 and cook for 30 minutes until the quiche is golden brown.

Your quiche should slip out of the dish onto the plate.

Here’s one I made earlier...

 
I found this was really tasty (despite the fact that I don’t usually like quiche) and next time I plan to experiment with a bit of bacon and some mushrooms.

I definitely recommend this for a summer’s day. Five out of five!

My progress…

Hello, 

I'm sorry I have been quiet of late, I have been taking pictures of things to blog about, but I haven’t actually sat down to write anything for a while.

As I have been away for a bit, I thought I’d update you all on my progress:

Weigh in 5: -5lb

Weigh in 6: -1.5lb

Weigh in 7: -maintain

Weigh in 8: +0.5lb

Weight in 9: -4lb

Weigh in 10: -0.5lb

Weigh in 11: -2.5lb

I have now lost a total of 1^st1.5lb this year and 3st1.5lb in total! I have been trying various recipes and activities to help me along, which I will share with you over the coming weeks.

Losing 1^st1.5lb in 2012 also means that I can now wear my two weight loss treats… I bought these two items from Tatty Devine when I was last in London. I told myself that the owl would be my half stone treat and that the bunting would be my 1 stone treat.

It was quite nice because the bunting got its first outing last Friday when The Queen was visiting Manchester. I felt ever so patriotic!

 

I have also decided on my 1^st 7lb treat -- this is also from Tatty, but it's part of the special Selfridges 'Word' collection:

 

Let’s hope I get there soon!
