The key is to watch the scallops closely around 6-7 minutes and remove them once they are just turning white in the center....
Red lentils cooked down until sweet and creamy, blended together with onion, peppers, carrots and stock, then finished off with cheddar cheese – stirred in until melty and perfect. This is a great soup for making in bulk and then taking to work. It freezes and re-heats really well, so I usually split it into portions for a lunch that Chris can grab and take out with him. If you happen to be eating this at home though, the added topping of crunchy wholemeal pita crisps is a great (and less calorific) alternative to that big chunk of bread....

I can see why it’s one of the most popular dishes on the Panda Express menu! Being in the UK, we don’t actually have Panda Express, and you rarely see Orange Chicken featured on the menus of our Chinese restaurants.

Baking without traditional flour easily lends itself to using nut flours, which is great, but can similarly lead to eating too many nuts....
