Healthy 20 Minute Creamy Cajun Spiced Pork

Easy Peasy - 20 Minute - Creamy Cajun Pork - Slimming World - Low Syn - Dinner - Recipe - Healthy - Cajun

One of my favourite ever recipes is my Syn Free Cajun Chicken Pasta, and it just happens to be the most popular recipe I’ve ever created. This got me thinking about what other Cajun recipes I could get to making (I’ve since made a few) and this delicious Creamy Cajun Spiced Pork is definitely one to compete against the Cajun Chicken Pasta! With a creamy sauce, tender strips of pork, loads of delicious veggies and steamed white rice it really couldn’t be any more delicious…the best part is, it’s healthy too! Continue Reading…

Give The Gift of Relaxation with the Hotel Chocolat Tasting Club

I don’t know about you but I need a few things in my life that are simply there to help me relax. Some of them might be healthy, like long walks with my dogs; some of them may be naughty like a few wines out with my girlfriends, and some of them may be purely indulgent like a monthly subscription to the Hotel Chocolat Tasting Club.

Slimming World KFC Double Down Burger

Unless you’ve been living under a rock in recent weeks, you’ll have seen that KFC have launched the Double Down Burger into the UK. Inevitably, as it’s only in stores for a limited time only, everyone seemed to go crazy for it and if I’m totally honest I went out and bought one…purely for research purposes…honestly 😉 Anyway, having tried it for myself and confirmed that yes, bacon and BBQ sauce sandwiched between two fried pieces of chicken is as good as it sounds, I decided to help myself avoid any future trips down fast food alley and create this Slimming World KFC Double Down Burger as a healthy and delicious alternative for any slimmers out there!

5 Tips For A Healthy Halloween

Halloween is almost here and it’s one of my favourite times of the year! It’s a time of creativity, togetherness and fun, and let’s not forget that it has long been a time to fill up on sugary sweets! However, with obesity at such a high level in the UK, it might be time to consider how you and your kids can have a healthy Halloween this year, or at least keep it more healthy! I’m not here to be the fun police, and obviously to a certain extent Halloween and sweets go hand in hand, but before you head to the supermarket to stock up on your share bags why not have a read of these five tips for a healthy Halloween!?

Roasted Carrot and Coriander Soup

There are many reasons why I like cold weather, and although the fact that I can wear tights again (bye bye thigh chafing!) and that I can comfortably wear black all of the time are up there, my number one thing about winter is soup! Specifically homemade soup, because there are very few things that warm you up on a cold, raining day in the UK more than a hearty bowl of home cooked soup. This Roasted Carrot and Coriander Soup is the perfect autumn/winter recipe, which is packed full of flavour and takes just 3o minutes to make! Continue Reading…

Best Ever Homemade Healthy Swedish Meatballs

Best Ever - Healthier -Swedish Meatballs - Recipe - Low Syn - Slimming World - Healthy - Ikea Copycat - Low Fat

I was lucky enough to go to Sweden recently on a very fun girly holiday with my mum and sister, and if you’ve never been I can’t recommend it enough! We went to Stockholm and out to the Archipelago which were simultaneously beautiful and fascinating. One thing that I was dead set on giving a go whilst there was Swedish Meatballs, which seem to have become something of a cult classic outside of this beautiful country due to their association with Ikea. I had the pleasure of enjoying a traditional Swedish Meatballs meal on one of the Archipelago and vowed then and there to give it a go myself at home! Continue Reading…

Best Ever Lemon & Herb Roast Chicken

Best Ever - Lemon and Herb - Roast Chicken - Recipe - Slimming World - Roast Dinner - Healthy - Roast

Do you ever have one of those recipes that you cook and then obsess over for a full week afterwards? This was one of those for me! I think I probably told everyone I saw for a good seven or eight days about it because I was so pleased (and frankly amazed) at how well it turned out. Think tender, juicey, fall off the bone, roast chicken, infused with garlic-y lemon and herb goodness and encased in a crispy skin which is essentially a meal on its own! Is your mouth watering yet? I know mine is just remembering! Continue Reading…

Why You Should Shop Online With Iceland Foods

I’m of the opinion that everyone shops a little differently. I for instance like to get the bulk of my shopping for the week in one hit and then supplement as the week goes by, but no matter how you shop there’s no ignoring the fact that online shopping is bigger and better than ever right now! More people are shopping for their groceries online than ever, according to research by Mintel, and Iceland Foods has answered the call for a fantastic online shopping experience better than any supermarket out there right now!
