Pancake Day

Pancake Day is the best day of them all! Fact.

Prepping for the week ahead!

It has been a busy weekend of seeing friends, having family over for lunch and giving the house a thorough clean (yes the family coming over did instigate a kick up the butt on this front!!). I decided to be prepped and take some Slimming World friendly food when we went to visit friends as…

Struggling a little…

I am struggling a little at the moment, really trying to make good choices with food but I do think I am comfort eating with it a little. I just felt so rubbish when I was ill, and it is so nice to be able to eat again but I do need to get on…

Lent: Giving Up Caffeine – I Survived!

It got hard towards the end but I survived! I went a whole 6 LONG weeks without Caffeine and didn't kill anyone. In the last week of Lent I had a load of stuff on at work with two events in one week, some very early mornings and some late evenings and all I wanted…

Lentil salad with tomatoes, olives & fresh herbs

I love the idea of this salad as a side with other course, some meats or even Quorn.

I love lentil salads, they are both healthy and delicious. Lentils are particularly rich in fiber, lean protein and iron. This fresh salad makes use of canned lentils, a cupboard staple. I use lentil though out  the year, as a base for salads in the summer and for hearty stews in the winter. Lentils have a mild taste and they take on a delicious flavour in this salad when combined with tomatoes, cucumber, olives and loads of fresh herbs. This salad is perfect as a take- along lunch or light dinner.

Roasted Eggplant with Lemon Garlic Sauce

This dish looks scrummy so had to share!

Cooking Without Limits

I love eggplant. The only recipe with eggplant that I really liked when I was a little one was eggplant dip. Fresh on the bread is like heaven on earth. This recipe here, I discovered only this year, but I started to love it. Something different from the eggplant dip, but with great texture.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium eggplants
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• juice of 1 medium lemon
• 6 large garlic cloves, minced

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise.  Using a sharp knife cut slashes into the flesh. Don’t cut all the way through.   Put the halves onto a baking sheet.

Peel all the garlic cloves.  Crush the garlic and mix it with 2 spoons of olive oil and the lemon juice till you have a sauce.

Drizzle the olive oil over the eggplant. Use your fingers…

Naughty Breakfast

This is just a snippet of a post. After my weigh in on Tuesday I had a little naughty breakfast to celebrate that I had reached Club 10 - I was very good the rest of the day though but it felt nice to reward myself with a treat. xoxo

Cannelloni – Slimming World Style

I have made a few SW recipes but I recently made the Slimming World cannelloni. I love cannelloni and with each serving (2 Cannelloni tubes) being only one 1 Syn it was definitely worth a try for a lighter alternative. It was simple enough to make. Like a standard Cannelloni recipe except that the filling…

Me & the Chokablok Hot Chocolate

So recently I indulged, rather belatedly, in one of my Christmas presents from last year; a Chokablok Hot Chocolate. It was rather unique in that it was a chunk of chocolate, chocolate pieces and marshmallows all hardened around the spoon so that you dunked it in to the warm milk and it melted as you…
