How about Thai crab patties with scallions, served with a chilli dipping sauce.
Followed by Fuit sorbet.
It's healthy, that's for sure.

I would wish happy detox, bu I'm not sure there is such a thing.

Here you go:

Beef Casserole

675g (1 1/2 lb) casserole beef
397g (14 oz) chopped tomatoes
300ml (1/2 pint) red wine or stock
160g (6 oz) button mushrooms
2 onions
2 carrots
1 clove garlic
2tbsp fresh herbs
1tbsp tomato puree
1tbsp oil
salt and black pepper

Cut beef into cubes
Heat oil in ovenproof casserole
Add beef and cook until browned, remove from casserole
Add the chopped onions, chopped carrots and crushed garlic, cook until softened.
Return the steak, add the tomatoes, wine or stock, herbs, tomato puree and seasoning.
Bring to the boil.
Pre-heat oven to 190 degrees celcius (375 degrees fahrenheit or gas mark 5)
Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours
Add the mushrooms, cover and return to the oven for a further 30 minutes.

I usually do this casserole in the slow cooker and leave it there for as long as possible. This dish only gets better the longer the beef is cooked. I've been known to put it on at 12:00 and not eat it til 7:00 at night. We usually eat it with roasties but it's your choice.
Makes loads as well so I usually freeze what's left for a quick meal another time.
Hope this is ok for you

How about - baked potato, salad and grilled Aberdeen Angus steak, followed by fruit sorbet?

When your done with Wuffy's casserole... and you have some left coz you made too much....

Peel and slice a potfull of Tatties... chop up a couple of onions.. then pour the remaining casserole over the tatties and onions and let simmer all day on the lowest heat...

You now have a nice Scottish dish called Stovies... serve with beetroot and oatcakes....

Stormey - lol, I do like homemade chips, but try not eating deep fat fried foods.

potatos
low fat spray
sea salt

Peel and chip potato's and part boil for 5 mins just to soften then drain and dry with kitchen roll
put then on a lightly greased baking sheet use low fat spary.
spray the chips with low fat cooking spray sprinkle with sea salt and bake in a pre-heated oven at 220c for 15 mins than turn them over and bake again until golden and crispy

low in fat and calories great when you need a chip moment!!

we had then last night with baked cod topped with cherry tomatoes and Mozeralla cheese (i know you cant have the cheese) but tea was divine...

Meditereanean roast lamb

½ leg of lamb
4 cloves of garlic, cut into slivers
Several sprigs of rosemary cut into pieces
4 tbsp olive oil
Salt and Black Pepper
3 large peppers (red, yellow and orange) deseeded and cut into large chuncks
3 large courgettes cut into large chunks
small new potatoes, unpeeled
cherry tomatoes

Heat the oven to 190˚c/375˚f/Gas 5. Make several cuts in the top of the lamb with a sharp knife and push in two thirds of the garlic and rosemary. Drizzle with about a tbsp of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Put the peppers, courgettes and potatoes in a large roasting tin and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining garlic and rosemary and oil and put it to one side.
Put the lamb on a rack in another roasting tin and roast in the oven for about 40 minutes depending on how you like it.
Place the marinated vegetables in the oven on the shelf below the lamb, and turn the meat over. Roast for 30 minutes, then add the tomatoes to the vegetable pan. Roast for another 10 minutes or so until the lamb is how you like it.
Remove the lamb from the oven, cover with foil and leave to rest whilst the vegetables remain in the oven. Cook the vegetables for a further 10 minutes, turning once.

Lancashire Hot-Pot!

Lamb chops - about 5 per casserole dish (you can make more than one at a time).
Carrots
2 large onions
Potatoes
Cornflour
Water
Olive oil

Put lots of cornflour in a dish. Brush the lamb with olive oil then dip in the cornflour and cover each one well. Repeat for all chops. Place in the bottom of the casserole dish and sprinkle some more cornflour on for good measure.

Cut and slice onions and create a thick layer on top of the Lamb.

Slice the carrots into thin strips and create another layer on top on the onions.

Once both the above layers are added it should be to the top of the casserole dish.

Add water so it's right to the top.

Cover and put in a medium oven (bout 5-6) for about 3 to 4 hours.

About 2 hours in, peel and slice the potatoes like crisps (but not as thin)

When you check the casserole and the water has mostly evaporated or started to become a gravy, add another layer with the sliced potatoes and brush the top with a bit of water and put the cover back on and back in the oven - this is usually the last hour or so.

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from oven and brush the potatoes with a bit of butter and put under the grill until golden brown.

This is yummy! And even nice eaten cold

And don't be fooled by the relatively simple ingrediants - it is extremely tasty
