Twochubbycubs Fast and Filling: 100 Delicious Slimming Recipes

Product Information

there’s so much ‘us’ in this book that it’ll feel like you’re sat down with us for dinner, you poor sods; tablespoon of brown sugar (please, don’t use sweetener – you could, but it’ll ruin the taste of the dish) (3 syns) or swap for honey (1 tbsp – 2.5 syns) cover the bowl in cling film and leave to marinade in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight Legend has it that if you listen carefully, in the right conditions, you can actually hear Ben from Hartlepool’s arse whistling in the breeze even now.

get a good solid pan out of the cupboard and start cooking your rice – this dish only takes about fifteen minutes or so Per portion. We’re actually calling book four ‘TWOCHUBBYCUBS: IT’S PER PORTION’. I wish a dish that serves four would be less than 500 calories, trust me! there’s actually more than 100 recipes in there – I included my fudge recipe as a bonus, and we’ve got you covered with over twenty ideas for sides to go with your dinner too; and three of our favourite bloggers now have either a book out or a book coming, and we encourage you to support them as much as you can: trim the green beans and chop into thirds (or rinse under lukewarm water to defrost if you're using frozen), then set asideThis time of year when the weather is colder and it gets dark earlier, we all want comforting meal and slow cookers can be perfect for that. If your slow cooker is a sat in a cupboard gathering dust, now is the perfect time to get it out of the cupboard. The thing I love about slow cooker is that you can just add the ingredients, let it do it's thing and you have a delicious meal to enjoy come dinner time. How to Choose the best Slow Cooker

So, how are we? Well. You know when people say it never rains but it pours? Turns out that it doesn’t just apply to your liberal touch with the gravy boat, young lady. As many of you know, we moved away from Slimming World a year or so ago to go ‘low calorie’– so the recipes do not have syn values or Weight Watchers points. They’re all under 500 calories though and will slip into a calorie controlled plan very easily. We have heard from people on both plans that the recipes translate very easily though!That’s a wrap! Oh noes, my sides. If you love wraps as much as we do, have a look at some of our other recipes! So, with a bit of research, we decided to eat ‘properly’ and the weight fell off. It was a revelation. We discovered that by eating decent meals we didn’t need the rubbish on the side. Our meals were something to look forward to and a pleasure. We didn’t feel deprived. And the results spoke for themselves – we lost nearly 19 stone between us. you can use normal tomatoes in this if you prefer - just cut them up into cherry tomato-sized chunks

Now come on. Tell me that’s not easy – you add everything into one pan and gently heat until deliciousness ensues. Short of me coming around and feeding you, I can’t do anything more than that! Anyway I’m terrifically excited. You know how last year was the year of mini holidays? This is the year of the beast, and we’ve finally agreed it with work, booked the flights and figured out how we’re going to look after the cats – we’ve decided to spend the next few months training them how to use the electric tin opener and leave them a slab of Whiskas. We’re going somewhere we’ve always wanted to go but never found the time: OH CANADAAAAAAA! Yes! It’s like Cub Heaven: it’s cool in temperature, hot in bearded-men stakes and full of beauty. If we happen to catch the eye of some bearish mountain daddy who wants to keep us both and take us logging, both literally and euphemistically you understand, then so be it. One thing that it brought to light was how terrible I am at throwing a punch – but see, I’m a lover, not a fighter. I prefer to cuddle, but that’s frowned upon, especially when everyone is sweaty. When it was my turn to be the ‘puncher’ I really struggled to work out the technique until, miraculously, that annoying little ‘What’s A Computer?’ shitrat’s face appeared on the pads in front of me and I absolutely leathered them. It felt great! All that anger being released in a safe and controlled fashion, rather than coming out in the form of the spittle dripping down my windscreen. In my head I felt like Conor McGregor, but I’m sure in the harsh light of the gym I was more John Prescott when he got hit by an egg.I’m not going to keep you too long, but I wanted to let you know that I’ve found a butch new past-time – boxing! Well past-time might be overselling it but we’ve just done a boxing class at boot camp and I bloody loved it. I suppose there was always a certain inevitability that I’d enjoy being pummelled in the ring by someone more tattoo than man but still. N0, none of that business, just a few boxing moves in the darkness. Lordy no. Paul and I are both very lazy and very tight and as a result, there’s nothing in this cookbook (or indeed our other two) which you can’t find in Tesco or any other major supermarket. We never buy an ingredient to use just once because that’s a poor economy. Similarly, neither of us are chefs and nothing in the book is difficult to throw together. If you’re unsure of your cooking ability, you need not worry with our books. Sugar Pink Food also has a recipe book out and lord is she the Queen of food that looks like it shouldn't be good for you but is really bloody stunning - give her a whirl here As the blog continues to grow, I thought it would be a lot easier to put all the recipes in one place – so those who are looking for something to inspire them can have a good nosey! I’ve broken them down into appropriate categories. One like this Morphy Richards Slow Cooker Sear and Stew is perfect for all slow cooker needs. Of course there are much more expensive and fancier ones, but so long as it does the basics of the above, then it's fine.

don't be put off by oyster sauce - it doesn't taste like you think it would, and gives a lovely, rich taste. Try it!

If you follow our example – don’t scrimp on ingredients, and learn to love food rather than endure it – you’ll be on a happier weight-loss journey. Twochubbycubs has always been about having a laugh and not taking this dieting nonsense too seriously. Life’s too short to be po-faced about what you eat, and we’ve reflected that ethos in our new book. We hope you enjoy these meals – all 500 calories or under per serving – and the chat that goes with them (James always comes first; Paul pops up for the notes). Give eating well a go, see how you get on, and tell us at the blog! Two Chubby Cubs recipes under 500 calories Mongolian beef cooking in the oven will give you the best results but if you can’t be arsed you can also do them under the grill– just be careful they don’t burn and make sure they’re cooked in the middle So! Before we get to the various questions we get asked a lot, just a big thank you to everyone who has bought the book – we do love you all and remain incredibly grateful for everything you do for us. If you have the book, please do consider taking a moment to leave us a review, because every last one helps us out. We don’t ask for a lot! The questions then! add the mince and cook until browned (about 6-8 minutes), then scoop out the pan into a large bowl and stir in the hoisin and oyster sauce and half of the soy sauce and set aside
