This traditional Italian dish has been part of my life since I can remember, and I absolutely love it! Many add pasta or rice to this soup, but I think it is best on its own. Potatoes and beans are enough to give this dish a warm and comforting feeling. I always make huge quantities,…

Egg Muffins
Egg muffins are a popular Slimming World dish. They are easy to make and can be prepared in advance. They are lovely when warm, but still very tasty when cold. Therefore, they are ideal for a picnic or a takeaway lunch. I also use them as a healthy and filling snack in between meals. Try a different…
Quick Coronation Chicken
Last Sunday, we went to a big garden centre, with a lovely cafe. I usually have a jacket potato (no butter!!) with baked beans. But to be honest I don’t really like it. Therefore, this time I decided to bring my own filling and I made this delicious and quick Coronation Chicken, for just 3 syns….
Bircher Muesli
This is one of my favourites breakfasts. It’s big, sweet and ready to eat in the morning. Perfect for when you are in a rush! I was born in Switzerland and my mother used to prepare this dish very often. We would have it for breakfast on its own or spread on bread and butter…

The original version is quite complicated. Therefore I came up with this quick slimming version at only 1 syn per serving. I am…

Almost everytime I go to group I come home with something useful. Sometimes it is just an idea or an inspiration, but this time I found out about this fantastic Red Wine Stock Pot from Tesco. It comes also in a White Wine version, and they are absolutely syn free! I am not a big…
Curried Carrot Soup
A couple of days ago I took the children to our local Activity Farm, and they got the chance to dig out their own carrots. It was good fun, and we emerged from the patch with two very full buckets. Once at home, I was slightly disappointed with the taste of our fresh carrots. Therefore…
