As I couldn't sleep, I got up at 3am, after an hour on the 360, I decided to walk the dogs.
I drove them to an old quarry about 5 mins away, I let the dogs off and then spent an hour and a half walking around the quarry trying to find them.
It was amazing, the dawn chorus was kicking off, saw some bunnies and a deer.
I was feeling energetic so I climbed up the side of the quarry, paying for it now as my sciatic nerve is kicking off :O(
Will have to see how i feel tomorrow.

Veggie Cottage Pie
( for meat eaters use lean beef mince and regular bisto)
For a taste of some hearty home cooking, this dish is perfect. Serve with any amount of vegetables of your choice, and a little vegetarian gravy (Bisto now do vegetarian gravy granules).
Serves 4 | Prep 40min | Cooking 20min
305 calories per serving
Ingredients
- Vegetarian Mince, Realeat 300g
- Carrots, Young, Raw, Fresh 3 Med/183g
- Onions, Raw 1 Med/90g
- Sunflower Oil 1 Tbsp/15ml
- Gravy Granules, Vegetarian, Bisto 2 Servings/56g
- Potatoes, White, British 200g
- Margarine, Light, Flora 25g
- Milk, Semi Skimmed 30ml
- Garlic, Very Lazy, English Provinder Co 1 Tsp/3g ( or mustard)
- Pepper, Black, Ground 2 Tsp/4g
Method
- Peel potatoes and bring to boil in a pan of water.
- Peel and dice carrots and onions into small pieces, heat oil in a pan and sauté gently for a few minutes.
- Drain oil from pan and add veggie mince and water (as directed on packet) and place back on heat. Stir in a little garlic,( i use mustard instead) and a pinch of pepper and let simmer.
- Turn on oven to 190°C
- When potatoes are nearly cooked for mashing, add 2 Tbsp. vegetarian gravy granules to mince and stir continuously for a few minutes while it thickens.
- Drain potatoes. Add margarine and splash of milk and mash until very smooth and creamy!
- Using an oven proof dish, empty mince into bottom and tap dish on side a few tomes to settle mixture.
- Very gently, and not in large lumps as they will sink, using a spoon and fork spread your very creamy mash completely over surface.
- Put pie into oven. Your pie shouldn't need very long... just until your wisps of mash start to brown slightly at the tips.
- Serve and enjoy! I find this dish great with a selection of 2-3 steamed vegetables.
