Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi there Yesterday I made a great quorn shepherds pie. I sautéed chopped red and white onions with red, yellow and orange chopped peppers, then I added 2 packets of quorn and 3 cans of tinned toms, a bit of red wine, soya sauce, vegetable bouillon, and some instant gravy. It tasted yummy and made 5 portions. I used 2 portions for a shepherds pie and froze the rest. Then today I discovered whole wheat spaghetti so tonight I am eating it as a Bolognese sauce with cheese. Then I am going to look back and see if it has held me as well as chicken.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Lucie, thanks for the recipe tips. Do you know what the protein count is in the shepherds pie?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi Lucie, Your recipe sounds like a nice addition to our vegetarian repertoire! To make it completely program-friendly, the red wine should be eliminated. Sometimes red wine vinegar is a good substitute (if the recipe needs the acid), and sometimes you can just omit the wine altogether. I like your adventurous spirit here, trying the whole wheat spaghetti. Let us know how you like it! cheers, Cinzia , " fleetlucy " <fleetlucy wrote: > > Hi there > > Yesterday I made a great quorn shepherds pie.

However, I found that I wasn't that keen on the whole wheat spaghetti, which meant I didn't finish every little bit which meant I lost some of the protein content from the sauce. I don't know if this is why but I definitely felt a bit high later, like I used to when I didn't eat enough protein and had had sugar, think the chocolate muffin for pudding on top of this particular meal was the cause. Funny thing was I didn't like the muffin, too sweet but ate it anyway because only on step 3, but my body didn't like it.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks for the report, Lucie. Too bad the ww spaghetti wasn't to your liking. Can you find brown rice pasta? (I don't recall if you've tried it...?) There are some other whole-grain pastas out there too. Not sure what's available outside of the U.S. Sounds to me like you're really getting on with step 3! Your reaction to your meal is a great thing to notice and journal. cheers, Cinzia , " fleetlucy " <fleetlucy wrote: > > , " cinziatre " <cmarchesani@> wrote: > >Hi Cinzia, > > Aha, didn't think about the wine, shall illiminate in future, doesn't need it, could use more > soya sauce and vegetable boullien or perhaps some marmite.

I worked out that I can only get a way with about 2/3 veg meals each week, and only if the other meals are all with fish or chicken, except breakfast, Georges shake and porridge with banana seems to hold me, unless I'm out doing gardening work then I need a snack of oatcakes and peanut butter.
