Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.
Hi Linda, not really, because when you look at the suppers, its loads of cooking, well I don't want to do lots of cooking because I did all that at lunchtime, the suppers seem to be as big as the dinners on the Internet.Have you tried the Tin Crab? Is it any good, does it taste like crab?
I thought of plain fresh Ravoli and make my own sauce, what do you think?
Today for dinner its a fry-up of: 1 Egg, 2 Bacon, bakebeans, mushrooms.

Tinned crab, no, I don't like it. It doesn't even taste like crabmeat to me. It's watery and it's bland. No, imitation crab isn't the same as real crab, but at least I like the taste of it and it's versatile. I shred it up and put it in soups, make a 'crab' salad out of it, homemade crab rangoon, put it on salads, use it in sushi, etc. Of course fresh crab, cracked right out of the shell, is best. But who can afford it? King crab legs around here can go for as much as $30 (£22.81) per pound and whole crab is even more. No can do on that.
The other tinned seafood I can't stand is prawns. Canned shrimp? Really? Whose bright idea was that?
I do like tinned oysters and clams, though. Fresh, of course, is better. But besides tuna and salmon, those are two seafoods I can stomach coming from a tin.
Fresh ravioli and homemade sauce? Excuse me while I drool!

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.
Oh yeah, fresh ravioli is the best.And you're welcome. I hope it helps. I don't mean to slam you with a bunch of stuff you may or may not have any interest in looking at. Just trying to help because I understand the frustration of finding things to fix that's easy, quick and healthy all at the same time. I also totally understand being bored with the same old thing day after day after day.
While I'm on the subject, here's something I'm fixing tonight for supper that you might find interesting. It's not exactly a throw-together-in-a-snap type of thing, but I imagine it's something you could put together ahead of time and then toss in the oven when it's time to eat.

Lots of other nice chicken recipes on this site as well.

I'm going to try this one next. My boys (my son and his dad) would love these. Just printed it for near-future use.

We love chicken and eat more chicken than we do any other meat. So new chicken recipes are always a nice find.

I also buy it shredded, chunk style or flake style. This is flake style that can easily be shredded.
I also buy the imitation lobster, which is what I was actually going for today for my wrap, but it was sold out, no more packages left. Humbug.
