The weather is beginning to turn a little more autumnal but it’s still super hot. Colourful salads are perfect for this time of year. Full of rich flavours but still a fairly light meal. Be sure to mix up a double batch for a few super good lunches to make your co-workers jealous! Serves 2… Continue reading Recipe: Warming Autumn Salad
If you have followed Slimming World at any point, you have likely made, or at least heard of, the Slimming World quiche. Now, being a massive quiche lover, I would like to point out this is not quiche. It is however a good kinda-frittata that can be made syn free, an excellent fridge clearer and… Continue reading Recipe: Slimming World Crustless Quiche
I genuinely just had this conversation with my boyfriend. Me: I feel so rubbish right now. Bloated and gross and just like I’m at about 45%. Boyfriend: well all we’ve had to eat tonight is crisps and dip. Me: and 2 glasses (large glasses) of prosecco. Haven’t even had the burgers I was looking forward… Continue reading ‘Nice Things’

Tonight was my weigh in night and sadly I have gained a pound. In the scheme of things this isn’t the end of the world (although at the time I wanted to drop to my knees and dramatically scream ‘NNNOOOOOOOOOOO’ Platoon style whilst grabbing the air). To be fair, it was deserved. I ate foods… Continue reading Weigh In Day: 1 pound gain
I have discovered a new way to cook chicken. A whole roast chicken in an hour. It’s wonderful. No photos for this one I’m afraid. Raw chicken does photograph well and I didn’t take photo when it was done, I was too busy breaking my oven dishes and scarring myself for life. Le sigh, reset… Continue reading Recipe: Spatchcock Chicken
After another slightly less than 100% day, I thought I’d take some accountability and share my 3 week progress. This month I have been 100% on plan except for the last 2 days. I don’t even know why but I’m hoping this will help me find my mojo again. This is actually really hard to… Continue reading 3 Week Difference
I wasn’t sure what to post tonight. Not because I’ve run out of ideas but more because I have had a bad day on plan and I wasn’t sure if I share my day or gloss over it by posting a recipe. But we learn and grow from our mistakes so there is no point… Continue reading A Bad Day
I love trying new flavours on meat and a marinade is a quick way to add variety. These are my 3 current favourites that are low syn, gluten free and ingredients I always have around the kitchen. They all work well with chicken or pork and I usually use them for barbecues or on a… Continue reading Recipe: 3 easy, low syn marinades
I had the BEST day! One of my work friends is getting married at the end of September and today was her hen do. Rather than a night of drinking and strippers, we channeled our inner Katniss Everdeen, and spent a few hours charging round the New Forest firing arrows at each other. Well, foam… Continue reading Event: AMF’s Hen Do
