Big Chief Thigh Chaffe

New thread for the hench chiefs from chat.

is feta cheese like goats cheese? i.e. foul?

I keep forgetting it has a recipe thingy, oops. Are recipes public so you can steal other peoples share them?

Managed to time my walk/run session to coincide with another mini blizzard, d'uh. And just got back to the smell of bacon, eggs and potato cakes. So not only do I have to sit about smelling it while I ponder another bloody Ryvita, but there's sod all point faffing around making pizza tonight when everyone else will be full.

Probably just as well but I feel cheated, cheated I tell thee!

Feta is goats/sheep mix i think? I quite like it but it's very salty. It doesn't have a strong goaty flavour if that makes sense.

tries to think of a better way to describe "goaty flavour"

non-goaty is good for me :o

Chasing, I am doing pizza tonight. Pitta bread with pasta sauce on, half fat cheese, ham, jalapenos and a ton of salad on the side. Lush and (I think) about 300 cals. Bit of garlic added to the sauce for added oomph. Put on hot baking tray and cook til cheese bubbles.

I had it for the first time last night. There were no bleating noises when I opened the packet, so that was a good sign.

I'm a cheese freak though. I could much those fat-filled slices and chunks of tasty blubber all day. le sigh.

Ooooh that's a good idea. I'll have to add pitas onto my next shop. Thanks! Might try to combine chicken breast and jalapenos in some cleverly low fat way tonight...

LOVE jalapenos. I do think spicy flavours are the way to go to turn your body against traditional comfort food. Jalapenos chopped up really fine can be added to salads too. Or jacket potato topping etc.

Warm filling food is deffo needed.

That quinoa salad I have been having this week is lovely and very filling (though cold).

I am having this recipe for dinner.

Just had a jacket potato with tuna for lunch as was at a networking event where the food looked greasy and full of calories, so picked up something on way back.

Still under cals though.

Feta isn't goaty no! More just salty. I'm impressed with the low fat one though. Normally low fat cheese is an abomination but this one is fine.

Don't know if recipes are public tbh but I would have thought so.

Does salty mean it's high in salt I have to be careful with DH's salt levels.

....and and and, in other feta-related questions, is it a brand that's decent, rabdall? or any old supermarket stuff? Pray tell

RANDALL

sorry

[arse]

I think the salt levels are pretty high. You can reduce it by soaking it for a couple of mins in cold water and rinsing it I believe. Not sure on exact numbers though.

Another lover of the great Jalapeno here I grew my own a couple of years ago and think I'll do the same this year. Though I'd need about 3 acres worth of poly tunnels to grow what I get through in a year

You've inspired me though! Tonight is grilled chicken and salad (inc. jals) in a couple of wraps that need using up. Mmmm.

Lizzie that recipe looks lush. I've never eaten a lentil. My face is all ashamed lol.

As a goats cheese hater, I would say that feta is not as bad, but it's still too 'farmy' for me

Feta is good because it os lower in fat and because it is full of flavour you don't need as much Pinot.

Go and buy some.

OOh that was bossy.
Sorry.

It's nice, try it, you may like it.

It was a make but only because it was on offer! I haven't found a difference between the brands and the supermarket ones tbh.

I love the stuff, I used half a standard sized block in the three days worth of salad and it was plenty. Worked out at 201.5 mg of sodium per portion. Don't know what that means in terms of actual salt but it seems ok, the daily allowance on 1400 calories a day is 2500.

stop talking about fatty foods!

Hi Mo, glad you are back.

Bups....your scales are broken. Tru Fax, buy new ones, they might also be broken mind.

I walked up a hill 4 times today toting my 15m old DD. That must mean something! Then whizzed down it, brilliant!

Will not mention fatty foods especially not macaroni cheese with breadcrumbs on top oh no.

Not sure what to have for tea. I think I have about 300 cal left so maybe a tin of tomatoes with black pepper, and some brown toast with a bit of real butter mmmm. Hope DH doesn't come back from work wanting takeaway.

Bupcakes and Randall - another 14.12er here. Would love to get to 11 and a half stone

I watch a lot of cookery programmes and I cant wait for the day John Torode describes food as "goaty" and Farmy" love it!

Just done kids tea, and for their pud I microwaved some frozen forest fruits, then added bit granola on top and microwaved for another minute, and served with warm custard. So was thinking if only used only tiny bit granola and used low fat custard then not too bad calorie wise, and will be not at all very similar to a crumble sort of thing.
And soup. Only been doing this for few days, but already have that strange dread of soup, it's a drink ffs.
Def having wine tonight (again) . Think it's a better bargain calorie wise than most treats... Yup. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Lol! "goaty" and "farmy" are technical terms! Honest!

Apparently to get to my ideal weight in need to lose 5 stone

I'd need to sacrifice at least one leg for that so think I'd be happy with 11ish.

Complete change of plan menu wise tonight, will do the chicken and lentil dish tomorrow.
Stuffed from lunch so will have toast.

Having a Just Dance marathon with boys and DH. I am v good at Bollywood dances, the rest not so much Good workout though.
