Lunch idea #1

I've always found it hard since being diagnosed to come up with good ideas for lunches, especially at work as you have to prepare in advance. So if you struggle with thinking of yummy things to eat at lunchtime then this may help, I just mixed up a bit of a random mix of things but I've tested it and it's super yum!!

Here's what is in my salad:

Chorizo sausage

Diced chicken breast

Onion (probably better with red onion but I didn't have one!) *Cook the chicken and onion in the chorizo juices*

Butter beans
Cherry tomatoes

Spinach

For a bit of a dressing I mixed some lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper together and mixed in.

New Recipe - Sticky Marshmallow Gingerbread Cake

1/4 pt boiling water

225g gluten free self-raising flour, sieved

2 tsp ground ginger

1tsp bicarbonate of soda

100g dark brown sugar

340g marshmallows

50g plain choc melted

Method

Preheat oven 170C. Grease and line a 7 x 11 in. (18 x 28cm) baking tin

Combine margarine and golden syrup and pour over the boiling water. Stir until margarine melts.

Mix flour, ginger, bicarbonate of soda and sugar. Make a well in the centre and pour in the liquid ingredients. Beat until smooth.

Pour into the tin and bake for about 35 minutes or until the top springs back to the touch. Leave in the tin.

Arrange marshmallows on top of the cake and leave to stand until beginning to melt.

 Preheat the grill. Grill the top of the cake, until the marshmallows brown lightly. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Allow to set before cutting into squares with a knife dipped in hot water.
