Jus-rol pastry products | Review

by StaceyUpdated on November 14, 2024May 19, 2015

Last year I took part in The Great Bloggers Bake Off and during the pastry weeks I was always annoyed with my own efforts as I have never been very good at making pastry in all honesty – I always try to make it myself but if it goes wrong, then ready made it is! (I usually always have some in the freezer for such happenings). I didn’t know until I saw them on the shelf but Jus-Rol do pizza bases and also ready to bake croissants! I’ve always fancied making my own croissants but this is the next best …

Cheese & chive potato scones | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

by StaceyUpdated on April 22, 2019May 5, 2015

I’m a great cheese lover and before I joined Slimming World I would just cut blocks off and eat it like that – naughty! I do still enjoy it now regularly as my Healthy Extra A choice, but I don’t eat as much as I did before. When you’re not counting the calories in it, it can easily add up without you realising. I would always get low fat cheese as well but now I buy full fat and just have the lesser amount of my HEA. When you want to use your HEA for something else though, these cheese …

Slow cooker chicken curry | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

Most people I know love a good curry, but a lot of them can be greasy because the meat is either cooked in fat, or also very calorific because of cream added to it. Chuck everything in the slow cooker with no need to pre-cook anything, and you have a lovely healthy curry to go!

Organix Goodies chunky fruit bars | Review

by StaceyUpdated on November 11, 2019April 7, 2015

My boys definitely take after their Mummy & Daddy – they love food and barely ever stop eating. Despite them snacking through the day – usually on fruit – we have a set snack time falling between 10am & 10.30am where they will sit down together and share a small plate of various snacks; it also gives me a chance to get a few jobs done as they rarely fight when they are eating! J often asks for treats (sweets or chocolate!) but I prefer to give them something such as fruit, rice cakes, crackers, bread sticks or small cubes of …

Overnight oats with berries | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)

by StaceyUpdated on February 17, 2026March 10, 2015

When I first heard about overnight oats – basically cold porridge – I wasn’t too sure about the idea. We’re used to hot oatmeal (which you can even make in a rice cooker). I’ll admit, the first couple of times I tried it, I wasn’t so keen. But after a bit of experimenting, this combination of ingredients and the container make them just beautiful, and they’re one of my favourites now – the boys seem to love them too!
