About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Chicken Tikka Starter

I am planning a dinner party, well some friends coming over to dinner so nothing too formal. They are not dieting but I don't want to break my diet so I am on the lookout for lowfat options that I can serve without any loss of flavour.


This is the idea I came up with for a starter

Chicken Tikka Starter
Serves 6 - 1 pt each

2 packs low fat chicken tikka mini fillets
Assorted salad
1 Lemon
1 tsp mint sauce
6 tsp very low fat WW Mayo

Put the chicken in the oven to warm through - it's already cooked. Arrange the salad onto plates (I used lettuce, tomato, cucumber and red onion). Mix the mayo and mint sauce together with a dash of lemon juice. When the chicken is warm slice and arrange on top of the salad and spoon a little of the dressing into the middle. Cut the lemon into wedges and serve on the side.
Add mango chutney and mini naan breads for those not dieting or add the points
