Pasta is a firm favourite in our household and we tend to eat it at least once a week – even better that it’s ‘free’ on Slimming World so I can eat as much as I like! (The dried version anyway). A couple of months ago I received some vouchers from Tesco to purchase some of their ‘finest’ pasta and I bought some large conchiglie pasta shells. I was going to stuff and then bake them but in the end I just went for this fuss free pasta bake. Totally delicious and very low syn on Slimming World!* Ingredients (serves …

Chocolate orange cake squares | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Now don’t get me wrong, even though I’m following Slimming World I do still eat ‘proper’ cake. Sometimes I will begrudgingly syn it but other times I will just completely ignore it and hope for the best! This is one of my new favourite Slimming World recipes though, it tastes a lot like a chocolate orange and is definitely worth the 2.5 syns a piece. This recipe uses chocolate Philadelphia but you can also use chocolate spread (50g will make them 2 syns each), it’s just as tasty.

Slimming World weigh in #17 – the one with *another* award…
Last week after 16 weigh ins, I finally managed to get my Club 10 award after chasing it for weeks! I also wanted my 1.5st award last week but I was one pound away from that so that’s what I was aiming for this week.

Slimming World weigh in #16 – the one where it’s my lucky night!
If you read my update from last week, then you’ll know that I was aiming for my Club 10 but didn’t quite make it, the same as the week before; so I was determined to get it this week! Though I can’t say, I stayed on plan all week.
Cheese & chive potato scones | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
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 …
