Wahaca

Since moving to London the boy has made it his mission to try as many Mexican food establishments as possible. This weekend it Wahaca and we went to the one in the Westfield Centre in Stratford as its only up the road. I had guacamole and chips to start and then some 'street food' by which they basically mean Mexican tapas. I had steak and cheese tacos, chicken quesadilla and sweet potato fries. I have to be honest it was yummy! Granted not very weight watchers friendly but I saved up my weeklies especially!

Quick Carbonara(ish)

I love spaghetti carbonara. It is a real guilty pleasure, however being gluten free (and the boy is veggie) means I very rarely have it anymore. This is my lightened up version which uses gluten free pasta, turkey and bacon but if you wanted to make it veggie (and less points!) you could use quorn bacon and mushrooms instead.

Ingredients:
Spray oil
1 Garlic Clove
2 Rashers of Chopped Bacon
40g Cooked Turkey Breast
70g Pasta (I use Doves Farm brown rice pasta)
50g Light Soft Cheese
Salt and Pepper

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta in salted water.
2. Fry the pasta in spray oil, add the garlic and turkey.
3. Add the soft cheese until melted and seasons.
4. Throw in the pasta, mix and serve!
