Slimming World Nacho Feast

So i've been doing Slimming World since March 2015 and I have only just got round to trying this recipe...I did make a few changes such as carrot chips instead of wedges and I had to substitute some spices as I thought I had them all then got home and realised I didn't... BUT! Here is the original recipe for anyone wanting to try it... I would highly recommend!

Ingredients

2 baking potatoes, cut into wedges
Low-calorie cooking spray
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
250g lean beef mince (5% fat or less)
1 onion, sliced
1 red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
230g can chopped tomatoes
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp fajita seasoning
1 tsp paprika
2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
150g tube Primula Light Cheese
Fresh green Jalapeno chillies, finely chopped (optional)

Method

Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6.
Put the wedges on a non-stick baking tray, spray with low-calorie cooking spray and season.
Bake for 25 minutes, then turn, spray again and bake for a further 25 minutes until golden.
Meanwhile, spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium-high heat.
Add the mince and stir-fry for 10 minutes, then add the onion and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until softened.
Add the pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the canned tomatoes.
Sprinkle in the cumin, fajita seasoning, paprika and a few twists of black pepper.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Stir in the fresh tomatoes.
Remove from the heat.
Preheat your grill to high.
Tip the wedges into an ovenproof dish, spoon over the mince and squeeze over the Primula Light Cheese.
Sprinkle with the chillies, if using, and grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese starts to brown.
Divide between 2 plates and serve.

This recipe would be syn free if you are using your A CHOICE for the primula light otherwise you would need to syn this so please amend accordingly :)

BBQ Chicken SW Iceland Meal

This is highly recommended. I haven't had one of the meals in ages as I've been trying to cook from scratch but this was bloody lovely! Will definately be getting some more of these for the freezer! 



The current offer in Iceland is Buy 3 Meals and get a packet of the Crumble Muller Lights free. I'd highly recommend as the yogurts are yummy too!!

Chinese/Indian - Low Syn Fakeaway

The best thing about slimming world takeaway recipes is how easy it is to mix and match. I had an urge to make the onion bhajis but also fancied some mayflower curry.
The onion bhajis are completely syn free and my portion of mayflower curry was 4 syns.

Onion Bhaji Recipe:
Ingredients
Frylight
2 large onions, sliced - I used 1 white, 1 red
2 eggs, beaten
1 sweet potato, peeled then grated
2 tablespoons of curry powder - you decide on the strength I use medium usually

Directions
Slice the onions
Grate the sweet potato
Beat the eggs
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients
Spray a cake tray with frylight
Using your hands, mould the mix into balls and add to the tray
Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown, allow to cool then enjoy

The mayflower curry is 4 syns for 28g of powder, you simply add this to cold water and heat through until mixed, you can have this as thick or watery as you like. I usually just stick it in the slow cooker with the chicken, peas, onions etc and leave for a few hours on low. I made enough to serve 4 and froze whatever wasn't used. EASY!

Time Management

I've been super busy this week so haven't had as much time to prep as I would like. Last night I had the Bolognese Ragu meal from Iceland and tonight I've just had the Chicken Pizzaiola Iceland meal. 

Would highly recommend having some in just in case you haven't got time to cook. It's an easy way to make sure to stay on plan as much as possible. 

I made pasta for my Ragu and Sweet Potato chips for my Pizzaiola.  Here's what they looked like:



Your always advised to add your own speed food to guarantee the 1/3 speed per meal but I didn't with these. Still, it was completely syn free and a lot better than a takeaway option!

These are great too because if you like them, they have the recipe on the back for you to make your own!

Will definitely be trying to do these soon!

Slimming World Meals



Had a good stock up of meals to keep me on plan. The chicken sausages are £1 per bag at the moment so had to get a few! 

Finally got round to trying the chicken and chorizo paella meal, even though I've never had paella. I was really surprised at how much flavour it had.
It was so nice, made even better by the fact it was syn free! Will definately be using the recipe on the back to make my own at some point! 

I seem to be really picky with the soups, the only on I actually like is the tomato and basil one, has anyone else found this? 

What's your favourite?

Meatball Pasta Bake


Simple to throw together yet super tasty and filling. 

I made it up as I went along and it was really easy to do. 

I used approx 250g passata, paprika, oregano, basil, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to make the sauce

Cut up 2 red onions and cooked off the meatballs then halved. 

Cooked off the pasta, strained and added to the mix. 

Mixed it all together and chucked it in a large oven dish then cooked for approx 20 mins

Grated half my hex a cheese on top. 

All done!

Lunch Time

Lunch time!

Used the SW Tikka Sauce and some chicken in the slow cooker and then chucked in onions and peppers for the last hour, I was pleasantly suprised at how tasty and easy this was to make! Will definately be using my slow cooker a lot more to batch cook and stay on plan!

Finding My Feet

So last night I maintained. I was a little gutted but then I remembered I lost the 2 weigh ins over Christmas. So I'm happy!
I'm back on plan now..

Made the BBQ Pulled Gammon but didn't want to mix it into the sauce after shredding it. So played up the gammon with the veg and sauce on the side and some sweet potato chips. Counting 4 syns for the perinaise but didn't even eat it all! Lovely day on plan!
