Healthy Eating with Joie de Vivre
Smoked Salmon Pate
Perfect as a starter or canapé, especially in the festive season, I have made this tried and tested recipe for many years. Make a low fat version using fat free cottage cheese, making it virtually syn free or serve it as a starter for your guests at any time of year. It’s great to serve as a starter with melba toast or on crostini, or why not serve small portions on fancy crackers or cucumber wafers as canapés?

Mexican Lasagne
This wonderful invention is a twist on a chilli con carne combined with the idea of a layered ‘lasagne’ which has gone down a storm in our house. What’s not to love? A rich beef bolognaise-type sauce with added kidney beans, black beans and Mexican spices is layered between flour tortillas with cheese sauce, then topped with cheese before being baked in the oven.
