Yorkshire Puddings – Batch Cook
I love Yorkshire puddings and have been cooking my fool-proof recipe for years. Literally the only variation I’ve made on my original Yorkshire Pudding go recipe is to add mixed herbs to some batches. They are the perfect batch cook food. I make a couple of dozen at a time, leave the extra on a […]
Low Syn Tomato Soup (188 cals)
I’m a major soup fan. I really like having soup for lunch, it’s a really easy hot lunch to make, just pop open a can and heat it up, but on the Slimming World Diet canned soups come with syns, and a lot more than you’d think! They’re also high in salt, not as healthy […]
Syn Free Slow Cooker Beef Stew
That’s right, a beef stew that is completely syn free on the Slimming World diet! This is a fantastic one-pot dish too, with lots of vegetables included in the recipe. This recipe can also be super quick, if you’re short on time you could just bung all the ingredients in the slow cooker and leave […]
Slow Cooker Braised Ox Cheeks
This is a lovely one-pot stew using a cheap and tasty cut of meat. Don’t be put off by the “cheeks” part, they taste like beef and have the texture of any well-cooked stewing cut, and can be used for any recipe that requires long slow cooking, such as Ox Cheek Ragu. As with most […]
Spiced Roasted New Potatoes – Low Syn
Another tasty low-syn side dish recipe from my Slimming World Diet. Great with a roast or steak. I made a big batch of this and served the second half cold the next day with some grilled pork, though you could reheat them. This recipe makes four portions at just ½ syn per portion. I used smoked […]
Syn Free Lentil Soup (135 Calories)
I love lentil soup, and often have a can of Heinz lentil soup for my lunch. Sadly on the Slimming World Extra Easy diet a can of soup equals 9 syns! As I have only 15 a day this would be a bit of a waste, so I decided to make a big batch of […]
Under 1/2 Syn Ragu (Bolognese Sauce)
This week I decided to adapt my ragu recipe for the Slimming World Extra Easy diet plan. It wasn’t too difficult, I just had to keep an eye on how much tomato puree I was using and use the olive oil spray. By buying braising steak, trimming all the fat and mincing it myself using […]
How to Avoid Having Horse in Your Lasagne or Burgers
The answer is really quite simple – make your own! I realize I’m probably preaching to the converted here but I still think it’s worth saying that you can only truly know what is in your food if you make it from scratch. The food industry is a massive business, with producers, abattoirs, and manufactures […]
Roast Chicken Stuffed with Mushroom Duxelle
I like stuffing things under chicken skin, like black pudding and pâté. Though tasty they’re not always the healthiest things, so as I’m on a diet and trying to be better I decided to come up with a healthier alternative, and I had a load of mushrooms to use! First I made a mushroom duxelle, […]
Tomato, Smoked Garlic & Chilli Soup & Diet Update
So it’s been two weeks since the start of the diet. I’ve done ok weight-loss wise, I’d lost 2lbs by Friday, even with a few slip-ups along the way. I just keep telling myself I’m easing into it gently, there’s no point going all-out and cracking after a few weeks. The thinking behind dieting this […]
