What about a Sheppard's Pie. Sauteed ground meats with onions, carrots chopped finely, seasoned to taste, and put into oven casserole dish and covered with corn niblets (or creamed corn) topped with Mashed potatoes and dotted with butter and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. In a 350F oven for 30 minutes and serve with a green salad.
for the dessert try this:
Ingredients ...
2 cups ( 500mls) of unsweetened apple and blackcurrant juice
150g of thick sponge fingers
1 packet of low joule strawberry jelly
500g of mixed fresh berries
250g of strawberries, hulled and halved
3 Tablespoons of custard powder
2 Tablespoons of sugar or low calorie sweetener suitable for cooking
2 cups ( 500mls ) of skim or non fat milk
What to do ...
1. Heat the juice in a pan. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly. Dip the biscuits in the juice and arrange in the base of an 8 cup ( 2 litre) bowl.
2. Prepare the jelly following the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour into a separate shallow dish and chill for 4 hours or until set. Cut the jelly into large cubes and scatter over the biscuits. Top with half the mixed berries and strawberries.
3. Put the custard powder and sugar or sweetener into a pan and gradually whisk in the milk. Stir over medium heat until the custard boils and thickens. Remove from the heat, cover the surface with plastic and set aside to cool.
4. Spread the cooled custard over the berries and top with the remaining berries. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until the biscuits are soft.
