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
Chocolate Orange Eight-Strand Plaited Loaf
So. Remember my Bake The Bake-Off Challenge? It’s still going, just very slowly.
I actually made this before Christmas, when I was getting seriously obsessed with the Candy Cane chocolate orange bread from Morrisons. At one point Garry and I were going through one a night, and considering they’re as long as my arm that’s not a good thing.… Read the rest
White and Dark Chocolate Cow Cake
Well, hello there.
This? Oh, this is nothing. This is just a white and dark chocolate cake that has a cow on top and a cow print design inside. I may be a little proud of it. But y’know. Only a little.… Read the rest
Battenburg Cake
I made this quite a long time ago, but I’ve been putting off writing about it because it didn’t go as well as I would have liked. Whilst it tasted lovely, it didn’t look right and I am nothing if not a perfectionist.… Read the rest
Hunter’s Chicken
I am a really big fan of Hunter’s Chicken. There’s BBQ Sauce, there’s chicken, there’s bacon, there’s cheese…what’s not to like? This recipe is one I’ve made up myself. I’m rather proud of it, because it was lush.
I had absolutely no idea if it was going to work but it went down a storm with my family and boyfriend when they tried it, so I’m counting it as a win!… Read the rest

Balsamic Chicken and Paprika Potatoes
Another recipe that’s perfect for Saturday night, when you want something that tastes like a takeaway or a restaurant meal but that’s still healthy. This one is from the Slimming World magazine, and I’ve only made it once. Thinking back, I can’t understand why.… Read the rest
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
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
