Yippeee it's Saturday:) People usually have a bit more time on their hands at the weekend so why not use it well and take time to research some nice recipes for the next weeks meals. If you are trying to shed a few lbs and tone up, the key is in the planning. You know what they say "Fail to plan and plan to fail".
Try and do a good shop at the weekend and have your meal plans and ingredients list with you. By doing this you won't be tempted to buy junk and other food items that you don't need.
Here is a gorgeous recipe I found which we are going to have today, even the kids love it, which is a great added bonus when you have young children who might not be too adventurous!
Serves 2
Ingredients
400 g of lamb, chopped into cubes.
1/2 tbsp ground turmeric
3/4 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tbsp ground coriander
1 litre of chicken stock
Salt/Pepper
100 ml coconut milk (I use low fat)
1 large onion, chopped
1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped into pieces.
1-2 tbsp coconut oil.
Method
Preheat the oil in a medium heat in your saucepan.
Brown off the lamb and remove from pan.
Fry garlic and onion until softened.
Add the spices and fry off for 2 minutes.
Return the lamb and any juices to the pan.
Add the stock and bring to a simmer.
Transfer to a casserole dish and cook for an hour in the oven.
Add the sweet potato for the last 30 minutes.
Add the coconut milk for the last 10 minutes. You could also add some spinach here if you have it in your fridge.
Remove from the oven and enjoy!
I would serve this with cauliflower rice.
You could also have it with Naan bread if you feel like a special treat!
Cauliflower rice is so easy to make, just grate a cauliflower and fry for a few minutes in some coconut oil. It looks like normal rice but for a fraction of the calories.
Enjoy!!
