Dukan diet cookies!

Ok so this is week 4 of the Dukan diet. I have done it before an lost a stone and after the summer filled with fabulous meals out and yummy bbq's its defiantly time to get back on it.

This time my lovely boyfriend is doing it with me - which make life a whole lot easier. We made it through the 'attack' phase - for those of you that dont know what the Dukan diet it is - its basically protein and veg no fat.The 'attack' phase is just protein! So its been 3 weeks of chicken salads, steak and veg, eggs, lots of eggs.


I found a recipe for cookies!! on the diet you are allowed to have oat bran... for anyone who is on the Dukan diet or has been on it these are amazing... I am eating one as I type with a cup of tea!

The recipe is with thanks too http://mydukandiet.com/recipes/oat-bran-cookies.html, I have mad a tiny few changes.


Ingredients 

1tea spoon Baking powder
1 egg
2 table spoon Sweetener
2 table spoons fat free yogurt (I could only get low fat greek natural yogurt - still guess its better that full fat???)
3 table spoons Oat bran - this is usually sold in the cereal section or whole food section.
Dash of cinnamon

Method 

Mix it all together

Pour the mixture in to baking tray

Bake for 15mins at 180c

Take the out turn them over and bake for a further 15mins


And that is it!! I served them with an extra dusting of sweetener

I know they dont look like much but they are the first sweet thing I have eaten in 3 weeks! 

I think they are great so much so I had to get on here and tell everyone... well everyone thats on the Dukan diet - if your not on the diet they arent that great. 

HAHAHA 

Amazing starter

Today I had lunch with my client in Harvey Nicks in Manchester. It was the bar restaurant on the top floor, I was greeted by a very pleasant host and offer a table too choose from. Once sat I ordered a pot of English breakfast tea and waited for my guest.

We both decided to have a small something to eat and so chose from the first course options. I went for the Ham Hock and Black Pudding dish while my client chose the 'special' risotto which involved prawns and peas.

Mine arrived and was pretty as a picture, really vibrant green de-shelled broad beans next to fleshy pink ham and deep black black pudding.

It was as delicious as it looked. It came with a lovely sweet apple and cinnamon puree which worked beautifully gelling all the ingredients together. Its been a long time since I have eaten something that tasted equally as lovely as it looked.

On top of this we had a wonderful waiter, Stuart, who was very attentive, polite and very helpful. So helpful in fact that he even wrote down the method of how to make my lovely starter. When i give it a shot I will post it for all to see... thank you Stuart.
