Barbecued Sweet and Sour Blue – Eye
This is another low carb recipe it is a lot higher in the carbs than some of the recipes I have been posting lately but it is then again a lot lower in fat content too. I usually make this with blue eye cod but any kind of cod would be fine, Blue eyed cod is also known as deepsea trevalla, blue eye trevalla and blue eye. I love the taste of this fish to me it makes for very good eating. This recipe works out to be about 25.7g Carbohydrates, 45.3g protein and 4.8g total fat of which 1.4g is saturated fat.

Chicken with Honey Glaze
This is a super simple recipe that has a wonderful end result. I have been thinking of new recipes that are fuss free lately, as I have been helping my sister out and been getting home later in the evening. The absolute last thing I want is to have to spend ages preparing a meal, I have been trying to have recipes either ready to go when I get in or ones that do not require lots of prep or cooking time. I came up with this one last week and it was really good and the left over chicken was just as good the next day.

You can use any BBQ chicken do not worry about the seasoning the supermarket or take away store uses. I bought one from the local supermarket that was seasoned and it still worked and you could taste the honey glaze. You can either cut the chicken into pieces or leave whole as I did and calve after it is your choice.

I served mine over a nice mixed salad, but serve with whatever you want it is summer here hence the salad. It would be nice with veg and potato if it was colder.
