So this evening I really had a fancy for Chicken Fajitas, however when it came to getting all of the ingredients ready to make them I realised that I had run out of the Weight Watcher wraps which I would usually use (oh no!). Now usually I would have sulked like a big baby whilst…
Sticky Chicken
A few weeks back when visiting my friend there was this wonderful aroma filling the house. Her husband was slaving away cooking in the kitchen whilst we were chatting. Intrigued by this wonderful aroma I went into the kitchen to ask him what it was he was cooking that smelt so good, his response, Slimming…
BBQ Bacon and cheese loaded potato skins
So for lunch today I decided that I fancied something a little different to what I would usually go for.. I decided to have a go at making some low syn loaded jacket potato skins with BBQ sauce, bacon and cheese. Ingredients (makes 4 skins) 2 medium sized baking potatoes 2 tbsp of HP Honey…
Sweet chilli Pork Stir Fry
So I absolutely love making Stir Frys, they are a dish that is so quick and easy to throw together and they are a great way of being able to incorporate speed food into a meal which I often really struggle with. So this evening I decided I would have a go at making a…
Hawaiian Pizza pasta bake
You either love it or hate it, the Hawaiian pizza. There is much controversy over whether or not pineapple belongs on top of a pizza and it has divided the opinions of many. Now I am pro pineapple on pizza.. I just love pineapple so much so imagine my delight when I came across this…
Chicken Enchillada
So one of my favorite Mexican style dishes has got to be Chicken Enchiladas but I found that many of the packets of enchilada seasonings were so highly synned.. So I found myself on a mission to try and re create this dish using as very little syns as I possibly could. I decided to…
Chicken and Bacon Mac n Cheese Al Forno
Ok so dinner today was a bit of an experiment, the concept seemed like a good idea in my head, however whether it would actually work out or not and be as good as I hoped it would be was the big question. So what was my idea?!? Now there are some Itallian dishes such…
Twinngs Cold Infuse
One of my biggest down falls is carbonated fizzy drinks, Pepsi Max in particular so I am trying to actively cut down on the fizz and up my water intake, however I hate plain water so I am always on the look out for flavoured waters or something that will give my water some added…
Halo Top Ice cream lollies
So I am a huge fan of the Halo Top Ice cream brand, that even though it’s a low calorie ice cream it still tastes absolutely amazing, it tastes indulgent and there is something naughty about enjoying the brand. Now if your anything like me trying to control the amount of ice cream I actually…
Danone Light and Free Greek Style Yogurts
Move over Muller lights there is another low syn yogurt on the market and I hate to say it but they are just divine, so much so I actually prefer them. The light and free yogurt range by Danone is a range of Greek style yogurts that are just amazing, they are thick, creamy and…

When things dont go to plan
So the past week really has not been going to plan in regards to sticking to plan. All good intentions are there and then come afternoon / early evening and I go and f**k it all up. I just dont seem to be able to control my sweet cravings at the moment, a 2.5 syn…
Dirty Cajun – Cheesy Wedges
So this evening after discovering last minute we had run out of rice I decided to shake dinner up a little as I attempted to bring together different aspects of two of my favorite dishes, Dirty cajun rice and the Nacho style feast. The idea was to combine the wedges and cheese of the nacho…

Too much of a good thing can be bad for you
I absolutely love fruit but I do sometimes wonder if I eat too much of it. As a child growing up you are told how important it is for you to eat but is there such thing as eating too much fruit? On Slimming world fruit is pretty much considered a free food and some…
Syns don’t count today
So I’m currently sitting here wondering how many syns this little lot would amount too although to be honest with you I really dont bloody care. I’ve just left our six year old in the anaesthetic room as they finished preparing him to go into surgery and we are back sitting on the ward waiting…

Moo-phoria Light Ice Cream is their newest range, described as…
Holiday clothes
In little over 8 weeks time we fly out to Florida but I am far from where I wanted to be on my weight loss journey. Ive managed to loose a stone and a half but in all honesty I thought that it would be more and I wont lie when I say that I…
Mummy’s drawer of syns
A little while ago I decided to create myself a little drawer of syns , a place in the kitchen where I can keep all of my low syned sweet treats from the rest of the family so they dont eat them, especially our three boys who I swear have an inbuilt radar for chocolate,…
Mummy rant
I dont know if there is anyone else feeling the way I am at the moment but since starting back on the Slimming World plan I am absolutely sick to death of having to cook two to three different meals every single night. I mean Im spending a good two hours every night cooking because…
Dessert Inspiration
Anyone who knows me will know how much of a sweet tooth I have and I really do enjoy a good desert after my dinner. I mean all those years growing up being told you cant have dessert until you eat all your dinner, making you eat everything so you dont miss out. The thing…
Volvic Sugar Free Water
When we moved house little over a year ago I got all excited when I learnt that we had an under counter fridge in the kitchen, my vision was that it would be the alcohol fridge filled to the brim with beer, cider, wine, prosecco and so on, that it would be perfect for BBQs…
For F**k Sake!
So Im currently sitting here devouring a a KFC Fillet Tower Burger, 2 Pieces of Original recipe chicken and a large fries, staying on plan today has gone out of the window with this little lot. To say today has been a bitch of a day would be an understatement..It was all going so well…
Drink 2L of Water a day they say..
Drink 2 litres of water a day they say so I have actively been trying to increase my water intake. I guess that they failed to mention that I would then be up and down all night like a bloody yoyo needing to pee. Its like being pregnant again and that constant feeling that you…
Syn Free Chicken Kebab
I must admit that I do love a good Chicken kebab, especially as a treat on the weekend when the boys are all in bed and I just cant be bothered to cook, Unfortunately grabbing one from the local takeaway just isn’t an option for me at the moment if I want to stick to…
Salt and Pepper Chicken
So this evening I decided to give making Salt and Pepper chicken a go. I had found the recipe on the Two Chubby Cubs website a few day back whilst searching for some meal inspiration. Ingredients (Serves Two) 6 Chicken Fillets 1 Egg 5 tbsp of Original Smash 1/2 tsp Sea salt 1/2 tsp pepper…

ASDA No Added Sugar Pineapple & Coconut Flavored Sparkling Water
So back in the day before having children mine and my besties go to drink would usually be a nice ice cold Pina colada. The Pineapple Juice, White Rum and Coconut cream combined created a rather moorish cocktail of which you could never just stop at one, I literally couldn’t get enough of them I…
