Always thinking of the next meal...
Older readers know by now I love butternut. I have posted recipes where it is used in two soups, a vegan meal, roasted and even in pâté. It was only a matter of time that I was going to use in classic risotto. The original recipe I found in olive magazine but adapted it slightly to make it healthier. Enjoy.
Other than mentioning it fleetingly in a couple of posts, I’ve remained mum about my diet and progress. Having tried all the famous crash diets like the Bread & Butter Diet, Russian Air Force Diet and Atkins, Weight Watchers was the only one that worked for me years ago and has again. Since March I’ve been dieting on and off with much success. So how much have I lost?
When I think of dieting food boring salads, boiled vegetables and banned sweets come to mind. Worse still, has anyone seen the 1974 recipe cards of Weight Watchers? Hah, now you have. It got just too lonely getting scarred for life viewing these grotesque food pictures that I had to drag you along. What happened in the 70’s stays in the 70’s. Thankfully, 30 years later chefs, photographers and food stylists’ skills have improved. Hooorah!
