Sunday roast

It seems ages since our last Sunday roast, and we really enjoyed this one. To anyone out there who doesn't like cabbage, we urge you to try a 'new season' Savoy. It's sweet rather than bitter and has delicate wafer like leaves. The honey roast parsnips always go down well, and so does the roast potatoes.
We would estimate this dish to be around 800 calories. Because it's so filling, we tend to eat less for the rest of the day. One of the things we keep hearing most (especially from men) is that people tend to skip meals, in an effort to lose weight. We've done the opposite - and are actively eating 3 good meals per day. This boosts our metabolism and we've lost weight. We all have a calorie allowance - so why not spend it on something you really want. We do!
