I think I just fell in love...

.... with a low fat dessert ;)



When I don't have plans on a Friday night, I love cooking up something yummy so I can enjoy the leftovers. Plus, while I love entertaining, cooking by myself means there's no pressure to get the meal cooked to a set time and I save money. Although, Billie can get pretty demanding with the requests for scrapes...


 In line with my diet regime (which I am proud to say, the weight is still falling off), I cooked 'low fat' recipes. I say 'low fat' because while they are healthy and diet friendly, I most certainly do not feel like I'm missing out. 


So what did I cook? Beef, red wine and mushroom pot pies and steamed chocolate puddings with chocolate sauce. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the pot pies (after all, it's my favourite: slow cooked beef in a red wine sauce with the added benefit of a flaky pastry layer on top) but, I was most impressed with the dessert. Seriously, if I didn't know it was low fat, I would have easily been convinced that it was not hip-friendly (it was that good!).
