Cyb - sounds like a bargain! What are you going to wear it with!
Fritzi - Be careful! No more body parts in casts please.
DD still loving school. Although I was a little bit 'poor me' about the whole thing eralier this week, at the moment she seems to be thriving and particularly likes the Kids Club where she gets to play with/hero worship the older children!
Just casting my mind back to our discussions on menus previously, I felt I had to share my Beany Soup one. It is healthy,easy, veggie and delicious - and can be made nearly entirely from things in the cupboard. It reminded me to pass it on, because DD had it tonight and when she likes what she is eating she kind of 'sings' to her food whilst she eats in a strange way. Can't think of any better way to describe it, but its definitely a sound of appreciation:
1 red pepper
Handful fresh coriander (important that its fresh - makes a difference!)
410 can tinned beans, drained and washed
198g sweetcorn
150g pot 2% fat greek yog
olive oil
1 onion
1 tsp cumin
Pinch of chilli
600g tinned, chopped tomatos
500ml hot veg stock
Fry onion in olive oil and then add cumion, chilli and the chopped pepper. Fry for 6-8 mins. Add toms and stock, bring to boil and simmer for 15 mins. Stir in beans and sweetcorn and simmer for 5 mins. Season. Stir through chopped coriander and serve with dollop of yoghurt (alternative is a little bit of grated cheese.) Tis fab, I promise!
