Almond Chocolate Cup-Cakes
One of the best things about Slimming World (aside from mountains of nommy food and the best cross trainer workouts) is…nommy desserts that they give you in the magazines. The other night I had a real craving for chocolate cake and thankfully had ripped this recipe out of the Slimming World magazine for future reference.… Read the rest
Baked KFC Style Chicken
I am SO EXCITED to share this recipe with you today, my darlings. I’ve been thinking about making this for months, and when I did it was SUCH a success. Garry recently said to me that this is the best thing I’ve cooked in a long while, and “considering almost everything you cook is delicious that’s saying something”
Let’s back up a bit.… Read the rest

Balsamic Chicken and Paprika Potatoes

Baked Sea Bass with Peppers
In my search for ways to eat fish that don’t make me want to gag, I’m finding quite a few recipes that aren’t just edible but that are utterly fantastic. This is one of these recipes.
It takes about an hour to cook but only ten minutes to prepare — you just have to bung everything in a pan and then in the oven.… Read the rest
Bacon and Mushroom Quiche
After months of hearty meals with potato and veg, this marked my first venture into what might be classed as slightly posh cooking.
Yes, cooking a quiche is posh where I come from. Let’s accept that and move on.
It’s another Slimming World recipe, but it was utterly delicious.… Read the rest
