I am definitely a sweet over savoury type of girl, always favouring chocolate over crisps, but having said that, I could quite easily demolish a big packet of salted cashews if the mood struck. Which it used to. A lot. So… with that in mind, I thought I would try my hand at making […]

Slimming World Baked Cheesecake
I have a really sweet tooth, perhaps not as much as I used to have pre-SW, but I would do almost anything for a cheesecake. Including that. I’ve seen a few cheesecake recipes floating around so thought I would make my own version, which is Slimming World Baked Vanilla Cheesecake, with raspberries – […]
Slimming World Syn-Free Onion Bhajis
We have my eldest son’s girlfriend staying with us for a few days and I thought I would do my infamous Slimming World Curry for her. And then I realised she doesn’t like curry. Undeterred, I ploughed on, convinced that if anything would change her mind, it would be this curry. MY curry. (Surprised […]
How to eat healthy with the #OneYou campaign
I first remember going on a diet aged 12, the age Dexter will be on Saturday. It was the Cambridge Diet, where mum and I drank beef flavoured soup, whilst pinching our noses so that we didn’t taste it. I can’t have been very big, I certainly wasn’t fat, and in Mum’s defence, maybe […]
5 Slimming World Staple Foods
Now I am four months into my Slimming World journey, I’m getting more and more messages from people who are just starting out, who want to know about sample menus, shopping lists, how many syns is this and that, and so I thought I would start writing about it all to answer some of […]
Slimming World Beef Curry #liveslow
It seems apt that I’m bringing you a new recipe today via a sunlounger in Lanzarote, as this healthy Beef Madras, suitable for Slimming world followers like me, is brought to you in conjunction with Simply Beef and Lamb as they wanted me to talk about the concept of ‘living slow.’ They are running […]
Slimming World Weetabix Cake
Merry Good Friday everyone! Don’t you just love a long weekend?! And Easter is the best of them because CHOCOLATE. And HOT CROSS BUNS. And MINI EGGS. You get my point. If, however, like me you’re following Slimming World, it can test your willpower and so I thought I would use my time […]
Slimming World Baked Oats
When I first started Slimming World, a whole ten weeks ago, I kept seeing people talking about a recipe for Baked Oats. I’m not particularly an oat lover (lol, oat lover), and so put it to the back of my mind – but I’m very naughty and I rarely have my Healthy A OR B […]
Slimming World Oat Cookies
I’m into my 10th week following Slimming World and one thing that has really helped me lose weight is finding alternatives to food I ate pre-‘diet’ … it’s a bit like a beauty blogger finding High Street dupes for designer mascaras, except you can eat these! In fact, the first recipe I tried out was Slimming […]
Slimming World Slow Cooker Lasagne
Welcome to another episode of ‘let’s just bosh it all together and see what it turns out like!’ AKA Slimming World recipe time. This week, I’m talking Slimming World Slow Cooker Lasagne. It contains all my favourite food groups. Meat? Good. Pasta? Good. Cheese? GOOD! Last week I felt like I could have […]
