These veggie nut balls are very simple to make, not requiring any complicated method, equipment or skills, although you’ll need to be able to chop the nuts and make breadcrumbs. They can’t really be frozen as they turn to mush, but they don’t take very long

Spiced Broccoli Soup. Delicious with tomato scone or herb bread

by Thrifty Lesley | Dec 29, 2018 | All Recipes, Less than 500 calories, Lunches | 0 Comments

It is exactly the same as the Spiced Parsnip Soup recipe on meal plan 4, except that I have swapped the parsnip for broccoli. Whist enjoying the parsnip version, I thought that it would probably work for all kinds of different veg. So as I had a yellowing head of broccoli to use before it was unusable, broccoli was the first one I tried.
