Looks like a lovely week of food. Just happened to come across your blog from the 52 diet forum and I love it. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing the recipe for the crustless quiche, how are you going to do that and keep it 5:2…?
I have recently started a blog challenge that relates directly to 5:2 and low cal recipes called Feasting While Fasting. The theme for July is cheese and if you have an recipes that you think qualify, please do submit them. I’m hoping that as it builds up it will become a useful resource for people on the diet.
