This month, as we head toward Christmas, head toward Tossed, too!
Another week closer to Christmas, and as the weather is getting colder, things are heating up at Tossed, the high street healthier eating place.
If you are not over-sweating from over-shopping, you might want another way to warm yourself up over-lunch. Try a hot and warming soup, stew or curry, from the new Hot and Healthier range at Tossed. Soup is great for getting your veggies as well as being warm and comforting.
Starting at just 68 calories for a Skinny Minestrone, the Tossed soups are made from 100 percent natural ingredients. There is also Leek and Potato at 154 calories, a classic Tomato and Basil and the new Sweet Potato, Coconut & Coriander. They are around £3.00 for a full size, but they also come as ‘mini’, a great addition to the equally tasty and warming stews.
With a low GI carb base of Mixed Wild Rice, Wholewheat Noodles or Cous-cous, the Tossed version of Chicken Tikka Masala is hot stuff, as is the Chilli con Carne and the Sweet & Sour Chicken, with free-range meat from Gatacombe Farm in Devon.
The low GI carbs will make sure you have enough fuel to make it through the day, and at under 500 calories for any of the hot dishes, you will not compromise your diet, even at Christmas. All at under £5.00, they will not empty your purse either. ‘Grab and go’ has never been so good.
Grab a soup or a stew from Tossed in the West End and the City, at Westfield London and at Westfield Stratford City. www.tosseduk.com Twitter @tosseduk.com or www.Facebook.com/tosseduk

Get creative with carrots this Christmas and win a £200 meal
The independent guest judge, Niamh Shields from Eat Like a Girl, will be looking for culinary creativity with carrots. The author of the best recipe will receive a £200 restaurant voucher to a UK restaurant of their choice. Three runners up will receive a copy of Niamh Shields’ cookbook Comfort & Spice.
Entering the competition is easy. All bloggers need to do is:
• Share a carrot recipe on their own blog;
• Mention the competition in the post;
• Tell LovetheGarden by emailing the URL of their entry to entries@lovethegarden.com before 21st December 2011.
The orange root vegetable is a prominent part of traditional Christmas meals, but recipes don’t have to be Christmas themed. Recipes for soups, salads, stir-fries and even cakes with this versatile vegetable are welcomed too.
Lovethegarden launched their first competition to find the best recipes for garden vegetables in February 2011, which encouraged bloggers to be creative with cabbage. The winner was Karolina with her Cabbage & Mushroom Pasties. In August, David Hall won the Potty for Potatoes competition with his Hot potato, bacon and nasturtium salad and the winner of the Taste for Tomatoes competition was Nic from Cherrapeno with her Summer Tomato Tart with Chilli Cheese Pastry. The carrot competition will be the last one for 2011, but in 2012, Lovethegarden will continue to encourage everyone in the UK to eat their five-a-day.
The deadline is 11.59pm (UK time) on 21th December 2011. For more information, please visit the vegetable garden competition page.
