Fast, Skinnier Comfort Food was developed for the frantic periods of our lives. The dishes fill the need when there's nothing prepared and you (and your family) are starving. They also take account of the need to acknowledge weight control and healthy eating -- or the guilt creeps in, spoiling your enjoyment.
The recipes are useful for the first few weeks of school when everyone is re-adjusting to normal routines.
A well-stocked cupboard is obviously helpful.

- 2 slices of back bacon, fat removed, cut into ribbons and steamed on top of cooking brown or white rice for 10-15 minutes. If there are no weight or cholesterol issues, use bacon lardons, which need 20 mins cooking on top of the rice or can be fried till crispy and drained on kitchen paper. Five minutes before the rice cooking time is up, push bacon and some frozen peas below surface of rice. Foolproof White Rice

- Washed, unpeeled granny smith apple and 2-3 sticks peeled celery in large dice, half an ounce of 30% fat-reduced cheese cubed (opt) and a couple of tablespoons coarsely chopped nuts dressed in yoghurt-mayo (apples go into yohgurt mayo to prevent browning)

- Cheat's Potato and Onion Tortilla. Saute mug's worth of cooked sliced potatoes and the thinly sliced whites of 3-4 spring onions gently in a teaspoon of olive oil until they have taken on some colour. Cool slightly and add to 3 well-beaten eggs. Pour a generous tbsp of olive oil into a 7 inch glass baking dish (or metal pan lined with greaseproof paper); swirl it round to coat the bottom and sides. Add egg mix; bake at 180f, 160fan, 350f, gas 4 for 20-25 mins until puffed, golden and cooked through. Eat half and save half for up to three days refrigerated. (Not freezable)
