Diet Entertaining

Ok, so entertaining, eating out and parties are a total nightmare when one is trying to lose weight. I thought the best way to combat this is to invite people to my place, that way I can be in control of the food that’s on offer. That was the plan last Saturday night and I was really pleased with the food (all slimming world recipes), shame I drank my own body weight (and about a weeks calories!) in wine!

My menu consisted of Malaysian yellow curry – made with chicken drumsticks, served with spinach and rice, and pork, prawn and chive dim sum served with sweet chilli sauce, scotch bonnet sauce, soy sauce and sesame seeds for dipping. And I have to say, it went down a treat. The dim sum was the star of the show though, I think if I’d doubled the amount I made there would still have been an empty plate (or bamboo steamer) pretty quickly!

It just goes to show (and I never thought I’d be saying this!) that eating healthily can be just as delicious as food with a massive calorie content….as long as you skip the wine!

Neither of these recipes are on the slimming world website, but they can both be found in their ‘Taste of Asia’ book, I’m sure they could be found online somewhere too, I’ll research it and post the link if i find anything.

Ps. Its my weigh in tonight, wish me luck 😀
