Soul Food Sunday #6

Evening!

It's been a busy week, so bloggy has been a bit quiet, I didn't want to miss a Sunday foody post though.

I mentioned last week id show you another pudding/dessert.

One of my fave puds has always been rice pudding, so I figured out a Slimming World friendly version.

I used 65g pudding rice

Couple of spoons of sweetener, depending on your taste

500ml of unsweetened almond milk

Sprinkle of nutmeg

Cook in the oven for an hour

Because I have unsweetened almond milk for my healthy A, I can have a full litre each day, otherwise I would have to syn the milk for the pud.

Nice with some fresh strawberries or try mixing in half pot of muller light yogurt.

Try it!

Ok, I'll be back on Tuesday, I promise.

Thanks for stopping in.

Hugs!

Soul Food Sunday #5

Evening!

Better late than never eh?

I have quite a few pics of SW friendly food ideas to show you already, for today I chose some comfort food, you know when you need to feel you've eaten something naughty.

I can't eat this myself this week though because I'm on SP for a week,so only speed food and protein, if it works well then I'm in with a chance of reaching my 8 stone target on Thursday, I'd like that...

 

So I think I'll call this Comforting Fried Potatoes

I sliced some tinned new potatoes, celery, red onion and bacon, threw it in the frying pan with Frylight spray, added a sprinkle of paprika and chives. Fry for 5 minutes.

 

Add a good portion of sliced mushrooms and fry for a further 5 minutes to brown the spuds.

That's it, done!

I did tell you I only do easy food.

Next week I think we'll have another pudding dish.

Thanks for stopping by!

Soul Food Sunday #4. A day in the life..

Hi there, thanks for popping in.

I'm asked a lot on FB to post what I eat, so today instead of showing you one idea, I thought id show you a whole day.

So the day I chose started with breakfast, wierdly enough...

That little lot contains 1/2 a syn for the HECK Paprika sausages.

Onto lunch...

Potato skins stuffed with tomato, mushrooms, peppers, little fat free cottage cheese, topped with chives and grilled. Zero syns!

Dinner next...

Sweet n Sour chicken, this is a syn free Slimming World recipe, it is seriously nice, I could have had boiled rice with it, but I just wanted to eat it on it's own.

So up to now I've had 1/2 a syn out of my allowance, which means I can eat alllllllll of this too...

And if I was hungry in between I can eat tons of fruit, muller light yogurt.

Drinks?

I can have plenty of tea and coffee if I use my milk allowance, couple of diet cokes, diet bitter lemon.

So that's my day! I feel full just looking at the pics.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Soul Food Sunday #3

Hello!

Time for another foody blog post.

I've had Risotto a couple of times this week, the first one I had was made using stuff from the fridge that needed using up.

I took my little chopping machine out, it's so cool, you just put your food in and pull the cord a few times!

So I chopped a leek, half an onion, 3 mushrooms, small piece of brocoli including the stalk, a green pepper, some butternut squash.

I sprayed my pan with frylight and fried some of my chopped mix with a bit of bacon with no fat.

After 5 minutes, I added a handful of rice and a cup of chicken stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

Tasted great, used up a few bits, and syn free!

The other Risotto I had was made by Amber, she makes great risotto, always makes me feel a bit better when things are a bit rubbish.

Here's Amber's instructions...

Gently fry a chopped onion for 5 minutes

Add some uncooked rice to the onion for a couple of minutes

Add some veggie stock with Worcester sauce, and a chopped pepper and some Mange Tout, bring to the boil and simmer for 12 minutes.

Thanks for stopping by, see you Tuesday!

Soul Food Sunday #2

Good Morning!

It's time for another FOOOOOD blog post, so if you don't like food look away now! Lol

I think a pudding is in order, how about this one for 2 1/2 syns?

It's so easy, I don't do complicated.

I started with a meringue nest, this is where the syns are.

I then mixed a spoonful of sweetener with Quark, do you know what Quark is? I googled for a picture to show you, this is what came up first...

Hot isn't he....

The picture I really wanted was this one..

I put some of the sweetened Quark into the meringue next then layered up with lots of fresh fruit, I then added more sweetened Quark, drizzled half a pot of toffee Muller Light yogurt over, then topped with a couple more strawberry slices.

It was seriously delicious, just try it!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your Sunday.

Soul food Sunday #1

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by. So, as the title may suggest, this is the first of my Soul Food Sunday blog posts.

Nobody could ever accuse me of being a chef or even a good cook, the idea behind the Soul Food posts is just to show some of the things that I now eat, there's nothing fancy infact most of it is simple and easy to prepare, but it's helped me to lose more than 7 stone since last January, while still eating REAL food.....and chocolate!

Some of you are already on the Slimming World plan, hopefully this might give you a couple of new ideas or just remind you of some meals you haven't had in a while, if you've not yet taken the plunge and joined Slimming World it's never too late, click here to find out where your nearest group is, and check for membership offers, meal plans etc!

 

Tikka Stuffed Mushroom

You will need

Huuuuuuuuge mushrooms

A pepper

Linda McCartney vegetarian red onion and rosemary sausages (I use these a lot, very tasty)

Slimming World Tikka Masala sauce from Iceland

Be sure to take the sausages and tikka out of the freezer to thaw ahead of time, I leave mine in the fridge overnight.

Mix tikka and the sausage together and quite simply stuff the mushrooms!

Add sliced pepper, and a sprinkle of mixed herbs if desired, into a Pyrex dish in the oven for 30 minutes.

Done!

Maybe try adding some chopped onion and tomato to the tikka too.

What do you like to eat? Maybe I can offer a SW friendly alternative...

 

Thanks again for popping in, next Sunday I'll show you a tasty desert that'll be kind to the waistline but big on taste!
