Tonight's Dinner was... Halloumi and Prawn Salad - low carb, under 350 calories

Tonight we had some salad leaves, mixed with tomato, red onion and cucumber - all thinly sliced. I then fried some padron peppers in a skillet with a spray of 1 calorie olive oil mist, added them to the salad, fried some halloumi in the same pan, added that and then dropped in a bag of raw king prawns. I had made a dressing of lemon juice, parsley
(chopped, fresh) seasoning, olive oil and chopped fresh chilli. I poured half of this into the skillet with the prawns and mixed the rest with the salad. Once the prawns were done I mixed everything together and served. It was fresh and zingy, pretty tasty and really healthy.

No Ollie again tonight, Kev ate his with gusto and without any extra sauce or salt but then he was distracted by his new iPad so I don't know if he even noticed he was eating dinner.

Mango Chicken: low carb, under 300 calories

Delicious, fresh and really filling. 

Rub a skinless, boneless chicken breast (sliced in half lengthways if it's thick) with salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Fry in a skillet with 1 calorie olive oil spray and a squeeze of lime until cooked through. Keep warm. Then add chopped mango and a shake of cayenne pepper to the skillet, fry on a medium heat for a couple of minutes, add a splash of rum, a teaspoon of chopped ginger, a dash of red wine vinegar and a couple of spoonfuls of lime. Cook for another couple of minutes. Put the chicken on a bed of lettuce and sliced peppers (squeeze some lime and salt on top of the leaves and toss). Pour the mango sauce over everything and serve.

It was quite spicy and so no chilli sauce was used by my husband. 

We both felt really full afterwards.

Ollie wasn't here tonight to critique but I think he'd like it.
