| Try Roasting your vegetables allowed on Optifast: Onion, whole garlic cloves, broccoli, zucchini, egg plant, mushrooms, asparagus, carrots are some of my favourites. Put them on an oven tray with salt and pepper and cook for about an hour on 160 degrees. When they are cooked you can eat as is, or whiz them in the blender with some stock snd make soup. Yum! lesley Lesley |

| Linda, Babaganoush is one of my faves. Have you made this actual recipe? When I have made it, I used a bit of tahini but no chickpeas. Also I never used the skins of the eggplant. Jan xxx |

| my daughter is vegetarian and we use the mince all the time. It tastes great. We also love the same brand bbq sausages. they have no fat in them and taste just like a bbq sausage minus the grease and oil. applesauce |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks for that Cat, I'll check it out soon. Jan x Pyretta - sounds too dangerous for me to try (that 5 minnie choccy cake thingy)!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ruby, The vege mince is in a vacuum sealed packet in the refrigerated section. You normally find it next to tofu and those fake vege sausages. Cat |

| Hi Pyretta I tried this a couple of months ago when someone emailed it to me. 1. The biggest mug I own was not big enough, it overflowed and made a mess. 2. Be careful what oil you use. I used a canola oil, and that was almost all I could taste (yuck) 3. My daughter and I shared it. I managed not quite a quarter of it, she had a bit more, but we threw half of it out. So when it says it serves 2, probably more like serves 4-6 if you are talking bandits. Thankfully we decided it was not worth it. Would be dangerous if you liked it. Cheers Sue |

| This is definately something to have only as a treat or for a special occasion. I can only imagine the damage you could do having one of these every day. 5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE 4 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 egg 3 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons oil 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) a small splash of vanilla extract 1 large coffee mug Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate halve and serve with a dollop of cream. This can serve 2). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night! |

| Thanks Pyretta, I'll check it out. I don't mind a bit of that type of thing and I would think it would be rather band friendly (for me). Cheers, Jan |

| Jan, I have found it in the refrigerated section. Usually there is a section that contains tofu, veggie burgers, veggie sausages and the veggie mince. Pyretta |

| Hey fluffy, is that vege mince stuff in a tin? Where do you find it in the supermarket - in the health foods? Jan |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I know that not everyone has the same taste for different foods, but I love this new vegetarian mince I bought. It has less than 1% fat and is high in protein. It is soy / vegetable protein. I add Beerenburg tomato sauce to it and wrap it in Mountain Bread. Lovely stuff. Woolworths Brand: Sanitarium, Veggie Delights "Mince" $4 something for 300 grams |

Ham and Pea Soup 1 large onion, chopped 200g lean ham, chopped, I use soccerball 1 stick of celery, chopped 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped 2 litres water 6 chicken stock cubes 150g risoni pasta (looks like rice) 1 cup frozen green peas pepper to taste 1 Coat a large heavy based saucepan with cooking spray. Heat, add the onion, ham, celery and carrot. Cook for about 3 minutes. 2 Add the water and stock cubes, bring to the boil, lower heat, cover and cook for about 5 minutes. 3 Increase heat, add the risoni, cook uncovered, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.

| I'm adding my egg wrap to the recipes. 1/2 a piece of Mountain Bread (paper thin bread at Woolies) 1 free range egg, scrambled with a lashing of 99% ff milk add salt and pepper to taste, or fry a little garlic in the pain with the egg for something extra. It makes one small wrap, about 10 cm's long. Cat |
