Lemony Baked Basa

So with the new WW Flex this comes out at 1sp.......and that is for the balsamic glaze I put on the roasted veg!!!!

Since the new plan came in I have been concentrating on chicken, fish and seafood (of course!!)....I saw a pack of basa fillets in my local Tesco so bought them (along with a pack of 4 salmon fillets, a pack of 4 chicken breast and a pack of prawns, all, apart from the prawns, currently residing in my freezer!!)

I found this recipe while googling basa recipes and it was really nice......for the roasted veg I used some red, yellow and orange peppers, a small piece of courgette (which was left over from some spiralizing I did a couple of days ago) butternut squash, onion and a few cherry tomatoes.....chunked up, sprinkled with Balsamic Glaze (the photo was taken before the glaze was added) and roasted for 30 mins.

LOVE the new Flex plan

Lets stay strong guys

Ingredients

10 sprays Frylight Stir-Fry Spray Oil 
¹⁄₂ small Onion, sliced
¹⁄₂ can, large Tinned Tomatoes, chopped 
1 sprig, fresh Parsley, fresh, chopped 
1 tablespoons  Dill, Fresh
 85g Prawns, Raw 
1 pinch Salt 
1 pinch Black pepper
25g Light Feta Cheese crumbled

Method 

Preheat the oven to 180 deg c/ 350 deg f/ gas 4 and place an ovenproof dish in the oven to warm.

Spray a medium fying pan with the spray oil and place over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. 

Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the tomato juices thicken.

Remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley, dill, and shrimp and season with salt and pepper.

Tip into the heated dish that you put into the oven before you started.

Sprinkle the feta over the top. Bake until the shrimp are cooked through and cheese looks nice and charred on the edges (the original recipe says the cheese will melt but I don't expect feta to melt), about 12 minutes.

I served mine with Courgetini laced with a couple of butterbuds and a grind of black pepper.

I'm BACK!!!

Hi guys

I'm sorry I've been absent for a while....I've had a family situation to deal with and its been quite traumatic....

You all know how difficult this lifestyle is ...and how fragile the commitment can be. The motivation starts in your head and if thats full of other stuff then its an immense struggle to stay focused.

So....I've been distracted, I haven't tracked....I've tried to stay within points (in my head....but we all know that never works!!) but I've drowned my sorrows in a bottle on more occasions than I would like to admit and subsequently have snacked on rubbish....hence I've gained some weight!! I'm horrified to see what my scales say this morning and have resolved to get myself in gear and get motivated again.

So I'll be here a bit more and I'll be posting on my fb group page too (its here)

Lets stay strong guys
