Great little lunch served with a big salad or nibbles when you have friends around.  My nod to a Joe Wicks a recipe I saw on Sunday Brunch last week.  I’ve changed it to Cajun and made it less calories but they are just as tasty .  Really easy as well. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/sunday-brunch/articles/all/bbq-butternut-squash-quesadilla/6446 Servings 2 (that’s…… Continue reading Funky and Flavorsome Squishy Squash and Black Bean Cajun Wraps

Nowadays it is not difficult to enjoy a nice barbecue without loading up on the calories/slimmingworld Syns.  These are really moist, super tasty and surprisingly light.  It is one that I saw made by Levi roots on John and Lisa’s Weekends cookery programme a couple of weeks ago.  They went down a treat.  Great on…… Continue reading CHEEKY CHARGRILLED CARIBBEAN CHICKEN AND MANGO BURGERS

Oh my talk about a flavour bomb, these are just yummy.  It is my take on a recipe I saw on a great site, link below. https://www.cottercrunch.com/miso-mango-chicken-salad-cabbage-wraps They make a great light lunch, appetiser, canapés or just a dip for crudités.  I think these will end up in my top 10 for dieters and none…… Continue reading MESSY MISO MANGO CRAZY CHICKEN WRAPS

Seriously Show Stopping Spanish Shellfish and Chorizo Stew

I can’t take any credit for this other than I’ve adjusted the recipe slightly to make it a bit lower in Slimmingworld Syns.  This is one that I saw the wonderful James Martin make on his Saturday morning show on ITV https://www.jamesmartinchef.co.uk/recipes/spanish-seafood-and-chorizo-stew/ The original recipe calls for butter beans or maybe chickpeas but I didn’t…… Continue reading Seriously Show Stopping Spanish Shellfish and Chorizo Stew

Queenie’s Bubbling Branston Quizza

Potato-based Quiche with spring onion, extra mature cheddar and a cheeky layer of Branston pickle, what’s not to like? Note to self however always remember to secure the bottom of the flan dish before pouring in the egg mixture as half of it ended up on the floor which is why it ended up looking…… Continue reading Queenie’s Bubbling Branston Quizza

Neta’s Naughty Nasi Goreng Style Rice

  The photos haven’t come out very clear on this one but trust me, it’s yummy. Nowadays you can actually just buy the ready-made nasi goreng paste in most supermarkets but this home-made version is a lot fresher and healthier and gives you a good old smack around the face. I have made this with…… Continue reading Neta’s Naughty Nasi Goreng Style Rice

MARVELLOUSLY MOREISH AND MUCKY CHEESY STUFFED MUSHROOMS

I used to cook a version of this many years ago for a starter, but in those days they were made with double cream and probably some butter and a lot more cheese.  This is a lighter version with the use of syn free quark and spray oil and the cheese counts towards your Healthy…… Continue reading MARVELLOUSLY MOREISH AND MUCKY CHEESY STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Delectably Delicious Duck Stir Fry

Now I know that some people will say it is sacrilege to remove the skin from a duck breast and to be quite honest I would be inclined to agree but if you are watching your weight it definitely will reduce the calories and fat.  For Slimmingworld dieters I’ve worked this out based on 2…… Continue reading Delectably Delicious Duck Stir Fry

Yummilicious Yellow Split Pea Curry

This is my adaptation of Jamie Oliver’s tarka daal.  I’ve added spinach, garam masala and mango chutney or sweetener which are optional but I like that slightly sweet note.  Healthy and light.  Low Syn for Slimmingworld or can be free with a few adjustments. Serves 4 1 Slimmingworld Syn per portion INGREDIENTS 200 g yellow…… Continue reading Yummilicious Yellow Split Pea Curry

Little Lo-Dough© Pizza Bursting with Virtuous Veg and Devilishly Daring Sauce

Posted in Italian, Slimmingworld, Snacks & Quick Suppers, Tips & Hints, Uncategorized, Vegan, VeggieLeave a comment

A beautifully rich, garlicky and tangy base sauce gives this pizza an extra veggie packed touch. Thought I’d give this Lo-Dough pizza base a go but I need to revisit it as it was a little bit soggy for my liking. I think I either put too much sauce on or maybe it was still…… Continue reading Little Lo-Dough© Pizza Bursting with Virtuous Veg and Devilishly Daring Sauce
