Dh has gone Veggie again & Mums quick Quorn Lasagne Recipe

I have been waiting for it to happen for a few weeks as I knew dh was planning another health kick and earlier this week he announced that he is going back to being a vegetarian.  Every time he wants to shift a bit of weight and to feel better in himself; less sluggish and bloated he becomes a vegetarian. Then, because I don't want to have to cook more meals than the minimum possible it means that the kids and I all start to eat far more meat-free meals as well and that is no bad thing from a health point of view.

Quorn is always a part of our diet, whether dh is veggie or not.  Since I met him 18 years ago he has mainly been vegetarian with just the odd times of meat eating, so for years we have eaten quorn and I have to say I like it and truly believe it is far superior to any of the generic brands of meat replacements I have tried.  What I love about quorn is that you use it in exactly the same way as you would meat but it is so much better for you. The quorn mince that I used tonight has 75% less fat than lean minced beef - what an amazing saving is that? You don't have to be a vegetarian to appreciate that, it is great for those trying to lose weight, maintain a healthy balance in their diet or looking to keep a low cholesterol diet.
