F A I L

Have you heard of FAIL standing for First Attempt In Learning? Yesterday I decided I wanted to make these bready type things we had been having on holidays and so I spent ages online looking at recipes and how to make them, and watching the steps - and then I set out to make them. … Continue reading F A I L

Batch Cooking!

Step 1 of Planning! As I said yesterday, my biggest downfall is when I am not organised and I don't have food ready to go. So today I have cooked tonights dinner - chicken Dopiaza (from an old Slimming World recipe leaflet I have), and a new dish from the Supervalu website - Mexican Leek … Continue reading Batch Cooking!

Pancake Tuesday 2019!

Yum yum yum, I just love pancakes, and Pancake Tuesday is like a day made for me! The rule in this house is Pancakes for Breakfast, Pancakes for Lunch, Pancakes for Dinner and Pancakes for Dessert! This year I'm being very focused on trying to lose weight and I didn't go mad with eating pancakes … Continue reading Pancake Tuesday 2019!

Pancakes… yum

So I know Pancake Tuesday isn't until next week - but for pretty much all of February my kids request pancakes, on a pretty much daily basis. I have two types of pancakes I make, one is the little round "American Style" pancakes, and then these, the bigger thinner ones. I found this recipe on … Continue reading Pancakes… yum

Taco Fries

Tonights dinner is one of our favourite here in this house. Homemade Taco Fries. I love making homemade fries, and often used to use the deep fat fryer. Then in January I finally splashed out on a Tefal Actifry, after lusting after one for about 2 years! And I love it. I use it at … Continue reading Taco Fries

Paprika Potatoes!

Now I am aware I might be late to the party, but I have just made these, and they are so easy and so delicious! The other day I was making a Spanish Omelette and I wasn't using chorizo (it's not free on Slimming World, and I had none anyway!) - so I wanted to … Continue reading Paprika Potatoes!

Spinach Cannelloni (Slimming World Friendly!)

I've realised that I need to have decent food on hand throughout the day, or else I pick at anything I can find - so I've been making up batches of this spinach cannelloni. Because on Slimming World you eat 1/3 "superfree" (fruit or veg) with everything you eat, I've been trying to beef up … Continue reading Spinach Cannelloni (Slimming World Friendly!)

Chocolate Biscuit Cake!

I've made this chocolate biscuit cake a few times now, for special occasions. It is really simple to make, and so delicious! Friends and family have got the recipe from me and have been making it since, so I decided I'd share it here. Here is a picture of the most recent one that I … Continue reading Chocolate Biscuit Cake!

Best Brown Bread!

So when when my other half started on the healthy arthritis diet, he was only allowed to eat wholemeal. I have often baked bread over the years, and although I used to have a lovely recipe, I found the results were inconsistent. Sometimes I got lovely brown bread, and sometimes I didn't. It was so disappointing … Continue reading Best Brown Bread!
