Now I’m trying out new fish and recipes for our regular ‘fish Friday’s’ you might have a few more fish recipes coming your way – this week is salmon.

Slimming World weigh in number two
If you read about my first week with Slimming World then you’ll know that I had a fairly good loss of 3.5lbs which I was over the moon with. This week I was hoping to lose another 3.5lbs in order to get my half stone award. I think after a good loss in my first week I was a little more relaxed and not so strict, and I think it impacted me a bit so I’m right back to strict now.

As you might have read, I joined Slimming World last week. I was excited yet a little bit nervous as I’ve always weighed in the privacy of my own home before and had a quick hop on the scales during the week! I’m determined not to do that though as obviously our scales will be different. Also I’ve never really been on a plan before, just did my own thing with calorie counting. When I started looking through my pack, I must admit I found it a little bit overwhelming and didn’t know where to start! I decided on writing …

This recipe is a great alternative to a dough based pizza, and it’s all free on SW (30g cheese is a Healthy Extra)! It’s also great for the kids though and is fairly quick to prepare. It’s a nice change and really does taste yummy with lovely golden cheese. Ingredients (serves 4) 4 chicken breasts 250g passata 120g cheddar cheese basil (I used …
