• 2 chicken breasts
• ½ white onion
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 chicken stock cube
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 1 can large white beans
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• some chopped parsley

Dice the chicken and fry in some olive oil, until they have some colour. Take them off the pan and put in chopped onion and garlic. Fry until soft and add chopped tomatoes, seasoning and chicken. Let it simmer under the lid for about 20-25 minutes. Add the beans and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste it off with salt and pepper. Serve with some salad. 1 portion is about 375 calories.

• approximately 400 grams minced meat (I used 50/50 pork and beef)
• 1 white onion
• 1 apple
• 1 egg
• 1 tspn cooking cream
• salt and pepper

Chop the onion finely and grate the apple. Mix all ingerdients with the minced meat. Shape into balls twice the size of a golf ball and fry until cooked all the way through, approximately 6-7 minutes on each side at medium heat.

I served it with roasted sweet potato, boiled broccoli and green beans, mixed lettuce and some creme fraiche and lingonberry sauce. Cranberry sauce would work just as nicely.

• ½ butternut squash
• 1 big carrot
• 1 tin of chickpeas
• 1 white onion
• 1 apple
• yellow curry, cumin, salt, pepper, vegetable stock
• 1 chilipepper (optional)
• 7 dl water

Chop all the vegetables into dices and put in a pan with some olive/rapeseed/sunfloweroil. Add the seasoning and water and let it simmer under a lid for approximately 20 minutes. Taste to see if something needs to be added, and serve with whatever you like. It goes well in a wrap, with rice (preferably brown rice) or just on it's own as we had it today. Added some crackers and cheese for two reasons: to bring in a little protein (in the cheese) and to have something to break the heat! I added a chilipepper to the curry and it was HOT! ;-) Good new kick for the metabolism, I tell ya!

• 1 dl oats
• 1 dl fat free plain yoghurt
• 1 tsp instant coffee
• 1 tsp cocoa
• 1 tsp honey

Mix it all together. I could use a little less coffee next time as it made it a little bitter, but it was nice! I topped it with a little more yoghurt, half a tbsp peanut butter, half a banana, and some frozen berries. Yum!

• 600 gram cured ham
• ½ large zucchini
• 1 white onion
• 1 dl white wine
• 3 dl chopped mushrooms
• 2 dl cooking cream
• 2 dl grated cheese (try chevré!)

Chop the onion and fry it in some oil. Put it in an oven safe tray. Slice the zucchini and add. Slice the ham and put on top of the onion and zucchini. Put chopped mushrooms on top and pour a mix of wine and cream (with some salt and pepper) over everything. Top it all off with cheese, and bake in oven at 200 degrees C for 30 minutes.

Serve with some salad. Nom!
