Place on a baking tray sprayed with fry light and bake for 15-20 mins. Serve with a large salad and a jacket potato Free on a Green Day

Curried Pork Patties Make some pork patties by mixing together a chopped red chilli, some spring onion and crushed garlic with lots of extra lean pork mince. Add a pinch of cumin, ground coriander ans seasoning. Add enough very low fat yoghurt to bind before shaping into burgers and frying in Fry Light.

Here you go Jill....just a few recipes to get you off to a good start!!! Enjoy. Anne.

I make a quiche similar to Annes........... except I add very low fat cottage cheese to the egg (free!) and mix together. I then make up any of the free pasta and sauce and put that on top of the potato case then add all veggies, etc and egg mix then cook. It sounds really weird but totally works. You can't tell it's got pasta in it. It just gives it a firmer texture. The whole thing is free on green day. Try it! Joanne

Glad you like the recipes and will post some more later! Bev
