Mayflower Curry

4 syns for 28g of mayflower powder.

Mixed with cold water then added chicken and onions. 

Well worth the syns. 

Syn free boiled rice. 

Pesto Chicken from the NEW magazine

Pesto chicken from the new magazine. Definately worth a try, syn free and super tasty! 

Cinnamon Swirls

It's literally just a chilled sheet of Jus-roll pastry (61 syns) or you can use the light one for 53, then in a bowl mix 2tbsp sweetener with 2 tbsp cinnamon, add a little water to make a paste and then spread it across the pastry. 

I divided the pastry into two to make the small ones for taster but you don't have to. 

Then you simple roll it up and pop it in the freezer for 5/10 mins as it's easier to cut. 

Take it out and cut into as many pieces as you want then bake for approx 10 mins on 180 degrees. 

Or until golden brown. They're lovely. 

I managed to make 60 small ones for taster making it 1 syn each but you can adjust accordingly :) 

Doner and Chicken

My main thing since coming back off my holidays is my lack of appetite. I'm not saying I didn't eat but the heat definately affected my appetite. Wasn't feeling like eating much but at the same time was really craving a dirty kebab. Made the healthier version instead and scoffed the lot! Syn Free Doner and Syn Free Tandoori Chicken! Couple of syns for the mayo!

Spag Bol

It's so good when your other half produces SW friendly meals like this. Yummy!

Batch Cooking

Made all three of these tonight. You can find the soup recipe on a previous post. 

Will add the others to my blog tomorrow. 

Pick Me Up Needed!

Pick me up needed and this was it! I can't believe how different I look. It doesn't even look like me! It's nice to have definition between my chin and neck! 

Strawberries!

Snacking on SW has never been so easy. I live on strawberries a lot of the time which is awesome because they're a speed fruit. Got a new little gadget to slice them up from ebay for just over £1, bargain!
having them with yoghurt & a sprinkle of cinammon is one of my favourite snacks. And all free!

HeB choices!

I know a few people that can't justify spending £1.95 per box on the SW Hifi bars. 

I feel like that some weeks too. 

But these are amazing alternatives and only £1 a box at the moment too! 

I haven't tried the banoffee or Jaffa cake ones yet but I hear they are to die for

You can have 2 as your HeB or they are 3 syns each!

SW meals

Nearly 4 months in so thought I'd finally give some of these meals a go. Tried the chicken tikka tonight and would highly recommend. It fed two of us easily and the chicken didn't taste like cardboard which is what normally puts me off ready meals! Would Definately get it again just to have one in the freezer for those days when you just don't have the time to prep a meal from scratch. 

Which ones your favourite? X

Breakfast. SW style.

Doing SW I have found I actually eat a lot more food now than I did before, I have more energy because I'm eating a lot better, and I'm actually enjoying exercise.

MADNESS!

I love having time to make things like this at the weekends, as during the week is usually Overnight Oats or something similar as I don't have time!

I know this isn't quite 1/3 speed food, but I don't mind as I also ended up having a bowl of strawberries not long after, and everyone deserves a treat right?!
all of this for about 1.5 syns, and that's just for the sauce! I can live with that!

One Stone.

Finally, it took me 13 weeks but I got there!
14lbs gone and not coming back!
I bought size 12 clothes for my holidays thinking I would have time to fit into them, and tried them on last night to see how far I have to go. I was in shock when they already fit! Just need to tone up now.

24lbs still to lose!

Fakeaway Special

The hardest part about my diet this week was wanting to eat loads of takeaway food and not spend time making it.
So glad I made this though.
It was all completely syn free and just as nice, if not nicer, than the takeaway would have been!

The doner meat recipe I use is the following:

1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried italian herbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 black pepper
500g 5% fat mince


Simply combine all the ingredients thoroughly and cook in the oven on about 180 degrees for 1 hour, turning at least once.


I just used Cumin, Cinammon, Tikka Powder etc for the chicken, and spiced it to my taste.


And popped the veg under the grill for approx 8 mins each side.

Whats your favourite fakeaway?

Peppermint Tea

A friend told me about Peppermint Tea, I was a bit skeptical at first but I have to say its lovely.

it's a great alrernative to having a normal brew and using your milk allowance, I yesterday I actually had this instead of my normal brews.

Has anyone else got any fruit infused tea they love?

Mayflower Curry

After the hype surrounding the Mayflower Curry Powder I thought i'd give it a go. It was lovely. 28g works out at 4 syns, I used 56g and it fed 3 of us so it worked out at 2.6666 syns so I just rounded it up to 3 syns.

Then made the egg fried rice from the fakeaway books, definately worth it. It was just like the takeaway.

Whats everyone elses thoughts?

I got mine from B&M for 99p a box, but apparently there are a few similar outlets that stock it?
