Thanks for joining me! I hope you find some useful recipes and some inspirational ides! A little bit about me: I’m currently following the Slimming World diet plan and enjoying taking traditional recipes and making them healthier. For me the diet and the group support have been fantastic and I’d like to share the ideas…
Potato Dauphinois
I love cheesy potato dauphinois but never thought I’d be able to enjoy it whilst dieting because it’s so rich and creamy. This Slimming World friendly version will cost you only 1 Health Extra A (HEA) and is packed full of flavour. Please note this recipe makes 2 portions, otherwise it will cost you 2…
Couscous Fritter
I love couscous as an alternative to rice when I’m slimming, but sometimes a bowl of couscous can be just a little bit boring. If you are following the Slimming World diet plan this recipe is free. Although if you buy flavoured packet couscous these are usually synned, this recipe uses plain dried couscous. Ingredients…
Calzone
A great recipe for those trying to eat more healthily. On the Slimming World diet plan this will cost you one of your Healthy Extra B’s (HEB) and a Health Extra A (HEA). This recipe is just for a plain cheese calzone but feel free to fill it with whatever diet friendly fillings you like….
Mexican Potatoes
I love Mexican food, but avoided it once I started my diet as it’s quite rich and usually loaded with cheese. I developed this recipe as a treat one evening, and it will cost you only 1 of your Healthy Extra A’s (HEA). This recipe will make 2 portions and takes around 50 minutes to…
Cinnamon Pie Filos
This recipe makes 6 cinnamon pie filos so they work out at around 2.5Syns each. I used Theo’s Fresh Filo Pastry Sheets, but the Syn values seem to be quite similar on other brands for the 20g sheets. Ingredients: 1 Small Apple (50g) (0.75Syn) 25g Raisins (3.5Syns) 1.5tsp Mixed Spice (Cinnamon & Nutmeg) 1tbsp Sweetener…

Yorkshire Pudding Recipe:
This recipe will either make 6 Yorkshire puddings. For the whole lot it will cost you 6.6 Syns Syns on the Slimming World diet plan. Or just shy of 1.1 Syns per pud, and they take roughly 30 mins to make. Ingredients: 30g Plain Flour (5.4 Syns) 1 Egg 50ml milk (1.25 Syns) Fry Light…
Spicy Rice Burrito
This recipe was created one afternoon when I wanted something a little more substantial than my usual salad or wrap. So I thought why not add some rice to the mix and have a lunch that is both filling and full of flavour. If you are on the Slimming World diet plan this recipe will…
Garlic Lemon Salmon with Crispy Potatoes & Pan Seared Veg
A lovely idea for a healthy tea that is tasty, filling and Syn Free if you are following the slimming world diet plan. This recipe will serve two people and takes around 40-50minutes to make. Ingredients: ⁃ For the Fish & Veg 2 Boneless Salmon Fillets 1/4 Green Pepper 1/4 Orange Pepper 1/4 Red Pepper…
Duchess Potatoes
Since starting my diet I found I was eating the same sorts of foods and getting pretty bored or boiled and mashed potatoes. For something a little different I made Duchess Potatoes and they were an instant hit. On the slimming world diet plan these are free, although if you add cheese to them you…
