Savoury Millet

Hulled millet, prepared according to the packet, with cheese, ketchup and chilli flakes added. It tastes like cous cous.

Mash and cheese

I stumbled across this hearty and delicious meal when attempting to use up the vast quantity of mashed potato I had made for a meal meant for other people (one of the most irritating things as a calorie obsessed person is that not everyone else wants to eat everything). I did this simply by sprinkling grated cheese and cracking an egg (for the protein of course) onto a bowl of mash, which I heated in the oven. The result? Slightly crusty top, hot, bubbling cheese and a soft, squishy underbelly of mashy goodness.

Cheesy grits

Since I have been using My Fitness Pal, I have come across many interesting new dishes from around the world. In particular, Grits seems to be a staple of the American Southwest. Especially if they are laden with plenty of cheese. While my grits do have a fair amount of cheese in them, I didn't use milk, so most of the creaminess here comes from the oats themselves. In true American style, I am seasoning the grits with generous amounts of ketchup.
