BEST MOMENTS
"Today I'm going to make some stuffed aubergines. I have got four aubergines, that means it's four meals, some red spring onions that were reduced at Sainsbury's, love a bargain."
"I'm going to add another tub of the free from Sainsbury's cream cheese because I'm wanting it to be hot and spicy but just a little bit soothing as well."
"What's great with these things and life is that if you've got stuff left over, put it in a pot and you can eat it whenever. You don't have to throw anything away. I hate waste."
"Here they are straight out of the oven. They had just under 20 minutes which is about right."
"Nice, crispy, cheesy topping would be lovely. But we can't at the moment if we're being strict keto."
