    Dear Cliona, I love the web site. The pictures are very good but unfortunately inedible. I'll have to visit for tea and cake when we return from Australia. Love Michael

    This is my main worry when I loose more weight. My clothes are already baggy (especially my trousers and jeans) but I was clever (or lucky) that I kept a lot of jeans from when I was 18 which are size 14 that now fit me again. No idea what I'll do when I get to target as I have no money to buy new clothes! Also you look amazing, what a transformation! :)

      Thank you! That means a lot ? It's so frustrating to be so proud but kind of frustrated that I can't buy clothes right now...its most annoying for work because all of my work clothes just look a bit unprofessional now! I think the best thing to do is buy the staple things first - jeans, a few tops etc because then you can build on that! Good luck!!

    Add a layer of the smoked salmon, covering to the edges. Repeat in layers until you use up all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of smoked salmon. Press down firmly. Cover with cling film.

      05/04/2016 at 10:24 am

      Thanks! They're really good, I tried a risotto with them last night and I'll be posting that recipe soon, they make such a great alternative to just using chicken and it just helps to shake things up a little bit :) xx

    Great post hon, I'm doing something similar! I'm trying to hit my step goal each day (apart from Sundays, I rest on Sundays!) and I want to lose at least a pound a week, although, like you 7lbs would be awesome!! Much luck to you. Kxxx

      05/04/2016 at 10:23 am

      Thanks lovely, although after just half a pound off last night 7llbs is looking a bit scary now! Onwards and upwards, going majorly back to basics this week! Good luck, I'm sure you'll smash it! xxx

    Hi Cliona, I love any type of veggie chips and these carrot ones look delicious. It is great that they are such a lean snack yet flavorful. Definitely going to give this recipe a try. Congratulations to losing over 3 stones and for sharing all these recipes and your experience regarding achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Mina x

      Hi Mina, thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot! I'm so glad you like the look of the carrot chips, honestly they're a life saver when you're just trying to be that bit more healthy! x

    I am very much an emotional eater but for me when I am stressed or sad I don't eat, and when I am happy I cant stop! I think so many people can relate to this, thanks for sharing. #MMWBH
    1. Cliona

      06/04/2016 at 2:20 pm

      Hi Laura, I think you're right in saying that's something lots of people can relate to! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I'm really glad that you found the post interesting. I definitely go through phases of eating because I feel very happy with everything, but it's very closely tied with my weight and if I do that then I over eat and put on weight, which leads to more emotional eating because I get sad! It's a vicious cycle but one that's becoming less and less of an issue, so hopefully this piece has helped you too :) x

    I follow slimming world and after I came across this post I got excited. Unfortunately after looking into I can confirm that the tesco bread mix is actually syned. 11 syns for 100g. And nowhere in the healthy extra b choice part of my book does it say that any kind of flour can be used. You may want to remove this to stop fellow dieters thinking they can have pizza this way
    1. Cliona

      08/04/2016 at 11:00 am

      Hi Jayne, actually there are certain wholemeal bread mixes (not individual flours) which can be used as your HexB and this has been confirmed by Slimming World. Tesco bread mix is one of these, as is the Asda one, and I think there's an Aldi one out there too that you can use. It's due to the levels of fibre used in them and this being enough to make them qualify for your HexB. Thank you for your input, but I promise you that I've looked into this a lot before posting and I can confirm that all of the information above is correct. Thank you again, Cliona

          I have just joined Sw online and have made this- it was delicious. I used the Tesco bread mix so hope it is a Hexb as can't find it anywhere on the list but I am new to all this so may not be looking in the right place. Thank you for a delicious and filling pizza . I am going to try more of your recipes now!
          1. Cliona

            13/02/2017 at 9:27 am

            Hi Cas, thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm really pleased you enjoyed the pizza and I very much hope that you enjoy the rest of my recipes. Let me know which ones you like particularly!
      2. Hayley

        03/04/2017 at 9:56 pm

        Can I ask...u use 500g of bread mix but only 60g is used as hex...so a whole pizza wud b so many syns right??
        1. Cliona

          04/04/2017 at 4:01 pm

          Hi Hayley, the recipe is for making multiple pizzas. As written above you use 60g for your one pizza and then save the rest/make up more bases as you wish :)
    2. Amanda astbury

      17/01/2017 at 6:37 pm

      You can still do the recipe but with Aldi wholemeal bread mix or Asda wholemeal bread mix as your HEXB
  • Jayne

    08/04/2016 at 1:16 pm

    I have looked on the website and the only two bread mixes that can be used as a heb option are aldi the pantry crusty wholemeal bread mix and asda chosen by you wholemeal bread mix. And these both state a 60g slice is heb, not the whole packet made up
    1. Cliona

      08/04/2016 at 1:21 pm

      Hi Jayne, as you can see in the recipe the dough once made up is portioned into 60g portions, to make sure it stays within your HexB options. The Tesco mix has also been confirmed, I just don't think it's on the app/site yet. If you're unsure though just stick to the Asda or Aldi versions to help make yourself feel comfortable. Thanks again for your input. Cliona

    What temperature should the oven be?
    1. Cliona

      12/04/2016 at 8:22 am

      Hi Rob, sorry I've not put that on there! I have it quite low when I make these, to dry them out rather than burn them. Try it on 140 :) Keep an eye on them though, as different people's ovens seem to work differently, and because they're so thin they can turn quite quickly! Very much worth it though, they're so tasty!

    Hi, Cliona, you have such a lovely name (and such a terrific site)! So glad I found you through the #MMWBH (#MadMidWeekBlogHop). I really enjoyed the insights you shared in this post, particularly the importance of devising strategies to circumvent or deal with the triggers. I know when I'm happy and engaged with something I really enjoy doing, hours fly by and I have to remind myself to eat! But when I'm stressed or blue... oy! I admire the work you've put in and the progress you've made. Congrats and way to go! I also really like that you've channeled your energies into this blog: you help others while helping yourself!
    1. Cliona

      12/04/2016 at 8:21 am

      Hi Aliyah, wow that's one of the loveliest comments I've ever had. It means so much to me that you have taken the time to post, and read my blog, and that it resonates with you. Your positivity helps me stay focused, thank you! If I can give one piece of advice to perhaps help when you do have one of those days where you're down or stressed...make sure to get up and away from whatever it is you're doing at least once ever 2 hours. Take 10 minutes to make a cup of tea, walk outside, listen to some music, or just breath for a few minutes without doing anything work related. It has been proven to lower stress levels and you might not feel the need to pick at food! Hope that helps :) x

    Hello again, Cliona! I'm so glad you liked my comment. I so appreciate the time, effort and thought that goes into a great blog post and am glad if my words have given back to you just a fraction of what your post did for me. Thank you so much for your great tip to schedule in regular, restorative breaks. It is SO easy to get wrapped up in whatever one is doing that one forgets that taking the time to invest in one's wellbeing will reap benefits beyond the investment. I'm going to start setting a recurring alarm on my phone to take a short break every 2 hours as you've suggested. Thanks very much, Cliona! Cheers and all the best to you!

    26/04/2016 at 9:33 am

    Looks great but wouldnt it be 60g of baked mix once cookeddrather than 60g of dough x
    1. Cliona

      26/04/2016 at 10:17 am

      Hi Jo, yes you're right. The only problem is that without lots of trail and error you don't know how much dough would make 60g cooked...it's likely to be about 63g of wet dough but without trying lots of different bases (without toppings) I wouldn't know. Therefore to be safe, and make sure that you don't go out of your HexB range I'd stick with 60g wet dough. However, it's up to personal preference and if you'd prefer to cook more dough as the base without toppings and then weigh it and remove bits to get 60g exactly then that's absolutely fine too! Personally I like to bake my pizza with the toppings on, so I just stick with 60g wet dough and know that perhaps I'm eating 57g of cooked dough for example. Hope that helps! x

    You say the bread mix is your HexB as well as the mozzarella is HexB your only allowed on HexB a day unless your doing an SPAIN day otherwise the mozzarella would be sunned.

    Hi. I couldn't find the mix in tesco when I popped in today. I saw a Wholegran flour mix but that was the closest I could find so I left it....So I'll check my local Aldi instead. It's very kind of you to go to the trouble of making this post for everyone. Thank you for your time and suggestions. I still haven't been brave enough to try that cauliflower based pizza recipe so hopefully this means I won't have to! Take care.
    1. Cliona

      28/04/2016 at 2:55 pm

      Hi Cat, hopefully Aldi will have it in for you! It's well worth making, I'm sure you'll enjoy it :) I'm so pleased you like the recipe, take care yourself too!

    1. Cliona

      03/05/2016 at 9:34 am

      Hi Louise, sorry its taken me a while to reply! I don't know exactly but I'd reckon probably about 57g. You could always do what I do and make up the rest and just freeze what you don't need in handy portions to use another time! Good luck x

      06/05/2016 at 4:35 pm

      Hi Jade! Yes it is a 60g one, it's not big but I rolled it out quite thin to get as much as I could! If you want to double the size it's only an extra six syns!!! Glad you love the recipe :)

    I'm definitely going to try this. I tried making carbonara last week and it didn't turn out so well (the egg scrambled) so will be giving this alternative a try. http://www.jesscantoni.com/> xx
    1. Cliona

      09/05/2016 at 1:37 pm

      Oh no that's what I was worried about when I made this! But I think by turning the hob off before adding the egg you avoid the excess heat and just use the left over heat from the dish. Definitely make sure to toss it lots though and don't leave it to stand until you've taken it off the heat completely :) Good luck and feel free to Tweet/Instagram a pic at me and I'll always reshare :) xx

    This sounds great. I'm a foodie following slimming world at the moment too. You get loads of Parmesan for your HEX so I think I'll go extra cheese and use it all when I make this. I like to add peas to mine too.

    I love carbonara made without cream as I think the eggs and a bit of pasta water give it a creamy feel anyway. This is lovely!

      18/05/2016 at 8:02 am

      Thanks Emma! Before I started Slimming World I'd never even heard of Smash, but it's ideal for making things like this which feel like their deep fried equivilents without any of the fat! Thanks for commenting :)

    Looks great! I know my kids would enjoy these a lot. Also intrigued by the use of Smash! Thanks for sharing with #CookBlogShare X
    1. Cliona

      18/05/2016 at 8:09 am

      Thanks Mandy! It's a strangely wonderful ingredient, I use it to make KFC style chicken too and to thicken gravy and sauces instead of flour! If you'd have told me that I'd be using Smash 9 months ago before I joined Slimming World I probably would have laughed though! Loving the link up this week, it's looking fab! x

      Hi Claire, thanks very much for letting us know! I can't imagine why they would have as every Slimming World-er out there must have been flocking to buy it! Hopefully this will prompt SW to put the Tesco one on the app instead!

      19/05/2016 at 8:05 am

      Hi Lou, I can't tell you exactly as I haven't tried it enough like that to get an exact amount, but I saw somewhere else that someone had used 57g and got 60g in the end! Sorry I can't be more specific but hope that helps! x

      23/05/2016 at 8:15 am

      Thanks Martin! It's such a great idea isn't it! Personally I prefer it to breadcrumbs, because with breadcrumbs everything feels like a chicken goujon (which I love) but it doesn't lead to a lot of variety! Let me know how you get on with it :)

    Congratulations on your achievements Cliona - that's amazing! I have recently taken up running in an attempt to get fit and lose all those 'recipe testing' pounds that have crept on since I started my blog! And I totally love it - I haven't actually lost any weight yet, but I've lost about 3 inches round my waist - amazing! Good luck with your new blog section :-) Eb x

      Thank you so much Eb! I know what you mean about the recipe testing pounds, before I started down a healthy route I'd pretend that they didn't count because they were effectively work! That sounds like a huge achievement though, 3 inches is loads from around your waist :) Well done, and thanks for the encouragement x

    1. Cliona

      17/06/2016 at 12:54 pm

      The Heinz Mayo is delicious and works really well with the spring onions because it's quite smooth and mild! My other half had previously banned me from making sweet potato chips because they were so limp and sad, now he loved these so I must be doing something right! It just meant pushing past my comfortable cooking time! Thanks for commenting ?

        Hi Sheila, the Sukrin Melis Icing Sugar is a sweetener so is completely Syn free! Hope that helps, Cliona.

            01/07/2017 at 10:23 am

            Sometimes on Amazon they sell out and the price gets hiked up! You can usually find it on Holland & Barrett for cheaper :)

            05/08/2017 at 8:21 am

            It's also now syned if you use more than a teaspoon per portion - 1 tablespoon = 0.5 syns like all other sweetener granules and powders

          27/06/2016 at 7:16 am

          The chocolate is just a topping, you'll see in the recipe it's noted as an addition with syns ?

    1. Cliona

      22/06/2016 at 7:26 am

      Hi Paul, as far as I'm aware there isn't another icing sugar sweetener, but you may find one if you have a really thorough Google. I wouldn't try just regular sweetener as I don't think you would get the same result, is there a reason you don't want to use the Sukrin one? Let me know and perhaps I can suggest a more helpful answer! Thank you, Cliona

        Hi I am trying this tonight but can't get the icing sugar in big supermarket. ...what is its function in the recipie is it to sweeten or to aid with setting?
        1. Cliona

          28/10/2016 at 10:07 am

          Fantastic! It's to sweeten and I know lots of people have had great results with regular sweetener so you can definitely give that a go instead! Just sweeten to your taste ?

    1. Cliona

      22/06/2016 at 1:34 pm

      Thank you very much Janine! It's a bit of a pain but I don't think you can get the Sukrin Icing Sugar in stores, I got mine on Amazon when I discovered it existed! There is a link in the text of the post to take you to the page on Amazon. I think you can also get it on Muscle Foods which is great, but you would obviously have to order past their £25 minimum so it's a good place to get it when you're doing a meat shop with them (if you do, they're amazing!). Choc Shot is however very available in stores, it's usually somewhere near the hot chocolate! Thanks for commenting!

    1. Cliona

      25/06/2016 at 1:28 pm

      Hi Caroline, so sorry to hear that! Did you use powdered gelatin like in the recipe? You have to completely dissolve it in water before adding it to the cheese. Hope that helps? X
      1. Stacey Sage

        06/01/2017 at 2:08 pm

        Hi Cliona, your recipe says 50mls of water is this correct, only the gelatine pack says each pack makes 1 pint of water & that you should add much more water than 50 mls, I have just made this cheese cake & the gelatine went into a complete lump just like Carolines did so now I have a cheese cake without the gelatine ahhh ! is it likely to set at all ? please can you reply asap - Thanks
        1. Cliona

          06/01/2017 at 2:13 pm

          Hi Stacey, thanks for commenting. Did you use boiling water? If it isn't dissolving then pop the gelatin with a little more boiling water (another 50mls) in the microwave for 10/20 seconds and that should do it ? Hope that helps!
          1. Stacey Sage

            06/01/2017 at 2:23 pm

            yes it all dissolved no problem, the problem occurred when I added it to the cheese mixture ? it pretty much set straight away which is what makes me think the gelatine should have been added to much more water than 50 mls ?

    Hi yes I did - I sieved the cheese mix to get rid of the lumps and then added that to more dissolved gelatine, it is slightly jelly looking bit ill give it a try - it doesn't look beautiful like yours! Xx

      26/06/2016 at 11:50 am

      How strange I've never had that problem! Glad it has turned out OK, I'm sure it'll be tasty especially with all is the hard work you've put in! Xx
    2. Cliona

      06/01/2017 at 2:34 pm

      I'm sure it looks lovely! I've never had that issue with the gelatine, so I'm not 100% sure what to suggest as it always stirs in perfectly for me! If you make it again maybe use 100mls first, also allow it to cool slightly before adding incase the sudden hot to cold makes it lumpy (the only think I can think of!) hope you enjoy it! ?

I wasn't able to wait for the Sukrin order, so decided to take the bull by the horns and use granulated sweetener (mine is from Lidl and is called Cologran, the one with the yellow lid). It works perfectly well, in fact you just wouldn't know. I didn't weigh it as it's so light, but added it by taste. In other words, once it was sweet enough for me I stopped adding it! This cheesecake is seriously lovely and looks great too! I've added a photo of it to my SW group Facebook page and there have been lots of admiring comments! Well done on creaing this, Cliona. This will be a staple on my dessert menu,

    Hi I'm confused as Philadelphia lightest is synned according to my slimming world so how is it free? Am I not finding the right Philadelphia ? Thanks
    1. Cliona

      28/06/2016 at 6:43 am

      Hi Dee, have you read the recipe? Philadelphia Lightest can be used as your healthy extra a option and therefore per slice you are using 1/3 of that which makes this Syn free as mentioned a few times above. If you aren't using it as such though yes you would have to Syn it. I hope that helps! Cliona

    Oh I love Rhubarb, these sound fantastic #cookblogshare

      Thank you Louise! The Bonne Maman Rhubarb Conserve is actually incredible...I have no shame in admitting to just eating teaspoons full out of the jar! Very very much recommend :) Thanks for commenting x

    These so look delicious, Cliona!. Like you, I love Bonne Maman. I lived in France for a year when I was a student and totally fell in love with their jams. There is not much better in life than a freshly cooked croissant from a Parisian bakery liberally smothered in Bonne Maman jam...That was pretty much my breakfast every Saturday for a whole year - all I can say is, it's a jolly good job I lived on the 6th floor, with no lift!! :-) I've never come across the rhubarb version though, I will have to keep my eyes peeled for that one as it sounds lovely.
    1. Cliona

      28/06/2016 at 10:40 am

      Thank you Eb! Bonne Maman has been the only jam in our house for so many years, it was such a pleasure to work with them! How lovely to have lived in France for so long! I grew up going to France a lot and went to school there for a term when I was younger and some of my clearest memories are of pastries and Bonne Maman jam too! The rhubarb one is new though, very very much worth getting! Thanks for commenting x

    I love rhubarb so I will definitely be looking out for this conserve! It's such a shame that rhubarb season is so short and it's so expensive so this is definitely a great way to get that rhubarb flavour! Yum!

      30/06/2016 at 10:29 am

      Thanks for commenting Corina! It's really tasty, I didn't know they did one until recently, but it's well worth getting. I've always loved rhubarb so it's great to know I can get it whenever I fancy!

    Where can you get powdered gelatin from and exactly how much is used in the recipe as it says 1.5 packet but no size for the packet. I would love to try the recipe so please help.
    1. Cliona

      29/06/2016 at 8:12 pm

      Hi Carolin, you can get the packs from most supermarkets. They're 12g each ?

      02/07/2016 at 9:05 am

      Hi Anne, thanks so much for commenting! Quark is a type of cream cheese, but it tastes and looks a bit more like a thick yoghurt. On its own it's quite tasteless however it's a fabulous healthy cooking ingredient! I use it for loads of things!

    1. Cliona

      04/07/2016 at 8:30 pm

      Hi Karen, did you mix the gelatin with the water until it was completely smooth? If so it shouldn't have gone lumpy. However perhaps try adding 20/30mls more boiling water next time, it might make a difference! Hope that helps!
  • Vanessa

      Hi Vanessa, I used a 20cm tin but depending on how thick you wanted it you could use a bigger one or a smaller one!
  • Rags

    05/07/2016 at 10:52 pm

    Can you suggest a vegetarian way of making it? i.e no gelatine? Or alternatives and amounts?
    1. Cliona

      05/07/2016 at 10:54 pm

      Hi Rags, I haven't tried it in a vegetarian way however I know that you can buy veggie gelatin which I presume would just be used in the same way! If you get some it should tell you how to substitute it on the packaging. Hope that helps!

    1. Cliona

      06/07/2016 at 11:41 am

      Hi Heidi, there aren't any other icing sugar sweeteners, I do know that people have tried it with regular granulated sweetener and it works but it's not quite as nice. You can buy Sukrin through the link in the post on Amazon or on Muscle Foods ? hope that helps!
      1. elizabeth roberts

        05/09/2016 at 8:57 am

        I've just looked on Amazon and it's £17 a pack - very expensive s cheese cake!
        1. Cliona

          05/09/2016 at 9:00 am

          Hi Elizabeth, the Sukrin sweeteners are sold out in a lot of places right now unfortunately which has driven up the price of the ones on Amazon super high! They have let me know that they'll be getting more in soon though so this price should go down very soon! Last time I ordered it it was about £4 a pack so it will go down!

    Sounds amazing, Cliona. I'm totally with you on the make meals differently thing. It's so amazing how a few simple changes to your favourites can make all the difference. I am always adapting meals to make them healthier - I find upping the veggies and changing the carbs to wholegrain makes an enormous difference and also tastes nicer and is so much more nutritious, meaning not only do you lose weight but you also feel better too. And all without depriving yourself! Well done with your fabulous weight loss, hope you reach your goal soon!! Eb x

I just find it amazing how small changes can make all of the difference, it's not about deprivation or cutting things out its about adapting the existing things to make them nutritious and healthy! You're doing amazingly too, the SIRT Food Diet seems to be working for you!! X

      Hi Lyn, what a lovely comment! Thank you so much! If you search meal plan I'm the search bar I've got one more there ? I've got so many recipes on here though which hopefully will help keep you on track! Slimming World was the answer to my weight loss problems. It's the easiest thing I've ever done and I've lost almost four stone in the last year! I really hope you are successful! There are lots of great groups on Facebook for people who are doing it at home on their own, or just need support, so they might be helpful! If you search the different categories on my blog hopefully you'll find plenty to keep you going. The most important thing to remember is that pretty much everything can be made to be Slimming World friendly with just a few tweaks! If you ever need advice feel free to ask, I've gone through most of it! X

    Just made this & it was lush!! Easily serves 4 if you serve with SW chips/wedges or a side salad. Hopefully it's just as nice for my lunch tomorrow :D! For me personally I'd only use 1 teaspoon rather than tablespoon of mixed herb (not a huge fan of it), also I made a BBQ sauce (I found a free syn one on another forum, as I don't like tomato base pizzas) I think I'd mix a bit in with the meat as well as putting it on top, obviously not too much as it wouldn't stay combined but just enough to mix extra flavour in & stop it from being bland (as I wouldn't be using the whole amount of mixed herbs). P.S I've bookedmarked your page as my mum & I went through you're recipes & they'res some lovely looking ones we'd like to try :) x

    I lost 11.5st on SW, and just wanted to add that there could be an underlying medical reason if you ARE sticking 100% to plan. I went 4 months on plan, with only 8 days off plan and lost nothing. Turns out I have an under-active thyroid and a condition called Lipoedema, which is abnormal fat distribution, my legs will never be slim. I got to 13st 9.5lbs and nothing would shift anymore. X

      08/08/2016 at 9:40 am

      Hi Karen, wow what an incredible loss! Congratulations! You are definitely correct, as I say these are just some of the reasons that the weight might not be shifting. It's very true that if you are really struggling and still over weight then there may indeed be a medical condition. It sounds to me like you've done fantastically well, so you should be so proud! x

    Ive been at slimming world for 2 years and only lost 1 and a half stone i need some setious help Any tips you can give me please
    1. Cliona

      09/08/2016 at 10:35 am

      Hi Julie, thank you so much for commenting. First of all, congratulations on your fantastic loss, you should never think of it as only one and a half stone! That's a huge amount of weight to lose, I know it can be really disheartening when you see other people losing loads and loads and your journey is slightly more scenic, but that doesn't make your journey any less incredible or any less worthwhile. I don't know how much weight you have to lose in total, but it may be that your body is closer to a healthy level and therefore loses less quickly. I have struggled a lot to lose since getting my three stone award, because my body is less unhealthy now. This might help, I wrote it the other day and it could help identify some little things you could change - https://basementbakehouse.com/2016/08/reasons-you-might-not-be-losing-weight-on-slimming-world/ :) Other than that, I think it's really important to remember that the plan is designed in a specific way and if we deviate from that it might well not work as well as it should. There are usually things that we do that compromise the effectiveness of the plan itself, so identifying those can be very helpful. Try writing everything you eat down (without fail!) for a week and then feel free to share that with me and I might be able to help. Do you attend a group? I find it very motivational to listen to everyone and you get so many helpful hints and tips at group. You might go to one already in which case you'll know that! If you do, what I know can often be very helpful is sitting in on the new member talk again, my consultant encourages that when we are struggling and I know lots of people find it very helpful! I hope I've given you some useful tips, but let me know if there's anything specifically that you're struggling with :) x

    Loving this site! I just joined the Cowley group this week and feeling a bit overwhelmed by planning all this on top of a job and 2 kids, but looking through all these lovely recipes has me inspired! Well done you for creating such an amazing resource, I shall be working my way through the rest of the site over the coming weeks, and maybe we could chat at group next week, if you are there?

You're definitely in good hands with Rachel, she's the best and I couldn't have done this without our group! We can definitely chat at group, you may have to grab me as I'm terrible at putting names to faces ? good luck on your first week! If you need any help or have any questions feel free to drop me a message ? X

    When freezing the extra portions of bread mix, do I cook 1st or freeze as dough?
    1. Cliona

      13/08/2016 at 6:47 pm

      I freeze as dough but you could do either depending on what is easiest for you. If you cook it first don't cook it all the way though, just part way and then finish as you defrost (like one of the frozen pizzas you buy! ?

    Hi, when you freeze up the extra potions do you roll them out into pizza bases or keep as balls of dough?? What do you do when defrosted, can you just roll out like before? Sorry but I've never frozen dough before!!!
    1. Cliona

      14/08/2016 at 4:28 pm

      I freeze them as balls and then defrost and roll as before but you could roll them out and freeze them if you wanted to! It very much depends on your freezer space to be honest! Hope that helps X

      14/08/2016 at 4:27 pm

      Hi Ken, no you would have to account for the syns in the non free food items in the recipe ? that would be the oats, dates and cream cheese and then include the originally synned items too. I hope that helps!

        You can do, although some people on Slimming World would count this as a tweak :)
  • Chloe

    15/08/2016 at 5:33 pm

    Hello! I tried making this today but it didnt rise around the edge and so it was more like a tortilla pizza than a normal one! I did forget to prove the dough so I portioned it and put it in the freezer for about 3mins before realising. Tookthem out, set them next to a warm over for 40mins and they grew in size. I put them back in the freezer, defosted one and put it in the fridge until I got home. Do you have any idea on what it was that I did wrong to cause the dough not to rise....the only thing I can think is that it was because it was in the freezer for a few mins or that I stored it in the fridge before using. Any advice would be great as I really want this to work!
    1. Cliona

      16/08/2016 at 11:53 am

      Hi Chloe, thanks for commenting. What may have happened is that the dough was under proved because of the time in the fridge, this would have slowed the yeast down and just meant that the dough hadn't developed enough before you cooked it. I've never had any problem with the defrosted dough if I've proved it the first time round so hopefully that will help! Let me know next time you try it! :)
      1. Courtney

        22/10/2016 at 3:15 pm

        Mine also turned out like a thin tortilla round the edges and was totally soggy and under cooked where there was sauce ? it didn't rise in the oven at all?? I proved it properly and it rose then before either knocked it back and rolled it out...any ideas???
        1. Cliona

          28/10/2016 at 11:37 am

          Unfortunately I'm not sure what the answer is! I know that the age of the packet mix can make a difference (I made a loaf of bread the other day using it that went terribly because it had been sat in my cupboard for a while!) but other than that I really don't know. The edges normally only rise a little in the oven, any area with sauce or toppings won't really rise but the edges should go up a tiny bit at least! You may have rolled it out too thin which is the only other thing I can think of. Maybe leave it a little thicker next time to give the dough something to work with :) Hope that helps!

    1. Cliona

      The base would be six syns, and then you'd have to account for the cheese too ? hope that helps!

    I too found that you could use bread mix to make pizza; it was a thing of joy but my wholemeal bread mix wasn't brilliant. I will certainly mix a whole packet next time and freeze it! I will roll it out thinner too as mine was a bit c laggy! I made a pizza sauce from passata, onions, mixed herbs and garlic. I froze the rest of the sauce so that i can just whack it together when I get the urge!

      Hi Heather, unfortunately the sainsburys one isn't officially a HexB choice from Slimming World. However I have seen them say in the past that using an alternative isn't likely to harm you weight loss, for example when people have used unbranded versions of cheese instead of the ones that are official Healthy Extras. It's really up to you but it definitely isn't an official one. Hope that helps!

    Can you only use bread packet mixes or can you simply make a wholemeal pizza Base? My husband is a bread maker at heart so likes to do things properly!!
    1. Cliona

      01/09/2016 at 6:17 pm

      Officially Slimming a World can only confirm packet mixes as HexB because they can test them out. They aren't therefore able to officially say that homemade versions are HexB however it's up to you! I'd recommend working out the fibre content of the packet mix and making sure the nomads version you're doing is the same, that way there won't be much in it! For example, I make my own pasta which Slimming World have said they can't confirm as syn free but 'is unlikely to effect weight loss' ? I hope that helps!

      No it doesn't, it firms up but it's a liquid chocolate sauce so it doesn't go solid. You could definitely use regular chocolate though!

So I bought the wholemeal n white - just wanted to be safe as Asda always seems to runout. If you can advise, which would be best? Secondly, I use mozzarella light from lidl and also mix in WW small amount of cheese is this okay? Am I doing this right? Please help!!!

      03/10/2016 at 8:46 am

      Hey, sorry I didn't reply sooner! I was away and didn't check the comments (just a little week's holiday!). You'd need to use the wholemeal mix in order for it to be HexB and it's no problem mixing the cheeses as long as you work it out to fit within your HexA!

    Thks loads. Tried this today. Made a few errors. It was the best food I've had in the 2 weeks I've been on slimming world plan. One question though. When cooking the Base didn't rise anymore. On the end it was rather thin. Not a problem as it was very delicious but still wondering why it didn't rise in the cooker. Is it mentions to only rise during the in bowl with wrapper and cloth Cotherstone stage? Again thks for the recipes it was dynamite.
    1. Cliona

      03/10/2016 at 8:45 am

      Hi Jason! Thanks so much for your lovely comment, I'm really pleased you like it! It is quite a thin pizza, it often will puff up slightly in the oven around the bits without any topping on, but once it gets too hot the yeast dies so won't rise any more. If you do want to have a slightly thicker base, you could try allowing it to rise when rolled out, although I don't know how well that would work! Again, thanks for the lovely comment :)

    Hi, just wondering if the 50mls of water is to mix with the stock cube or to add as you mash? Can't wait to try these and many thanks for keeping me inspired.
    1. Cliona

      29/10/2016 at 12:31 pm

      You add the stock cube to the water when you're cooking the mash ? then you retain the 50mls of that water at the end to mash in with the potatoes. Hope that helps! Glad you like my recipes!

    Hi! We have a taster session at Slimming World this week and I'm thinking of taking this. Our leader suggested crudités and dips, but I would much rather have cheesecake! I was just wondering what type of apples you used, were they cooking or eating apples? Thanks
    1. Cliona

      29/10/2016 at 7:21 pm

      I always take a nice big cheesecake to taster nights! People love it ? I used regular apples for it as they're sweeter and as its not a baked cheesecake that makes it much better! Good luck!

    This was really interesting. This is definitely where I have been going wrong in the past with Slimming World and thinking oh it doesn't work for me. I've re-joined for about the 5th time and am determined to do it properly. In the past I have been having things like a tin of mushy peas in between meals as a snack, now I realise I should be having speed fruit or veg or protein. I didn't even know there were such a thing as tweaks!! Thanks so much

    Yum, this sounds so tasty and easy. Definitely my kind of food! Totally with you on the only keeping healthy food in the house thing. I pretty much don't buy biscuits/cake/crisps/processed food etc. and so I rarely eat them, or if I do I have to make it first - and surely cooking burns up lots of calories, no? ;-) Eb x

      Thanks Eb! I know what you mean, it's got to the point where my boyfriend has to actively hide any bad food he brings home from me. It's so unfair on him...if he gets chocolate for his packed lunch and I see it he doesn't stand a chance to getting to it! Oh well, he knew what he was getting himself into :) I'm going to go with your one on the cooking vs calories issue! x

    Your steak and mushroom tagliatelle looks delicious. It's so refreshing to see someone saying carbs are ok in moderation, I love pasta. I'm try to eat healthily and struggle with my weight ( I had knee replacements over a year ago now and I can't do the amount of exercise I used to be able to do). This recipe is perfect for me - pinned for later :-)
    1. Cliona

      03/11/2016 at 3:01 pm

      Thank you Sarah! I LOVE carbs and simply can't do without them, which is what makes Slimming World so perfect for me! You can still eat pasta, rice, bread and potatoes just in moderation. It's a winner in my books! I've always struggled with my weight, and no matter how much I try I'm just not a gym bunny. A lifestlye plan that means I can basically eat the same as ever (with a few tweaks) and still lose weight sounded way too good to be true, but that was almost 4 stone ago so I'm pretty pleased! Thanks for commenting, I'm glad you like the recipe and thanks for pinning/tweeting it! :)

    Just found your page and I'm loving 'everything'thank you for sharing. I am really struggling at the mo, I have lost 4st 8lbs and am feeling amazing. My daughters wedding is next March and I start my own dress fittings in January so had planned to hit the 5st plus by then.I must stay at that weight until end of March. I am an apple shape and still am, I had hoped there might have been a waist there, but as yet I have still to find it. I have so many positive things to say about SW but for me getting into an '18' has been my main target and I am still not there, and this is totally getting to me, I have just had to go out and buy size 20 clothes for a Crimbo party,I am gutted.
    1. Cliona

      21/11/2016 at 5:36 pm

      Hi Libby, I'm so sorry for the delay in coming back to your comment. First of all I'm so glad you found my page, and thank you for sharing your struggles with me! You have done an amazing thing so far, you've lost a huge amount of weight and you should be immensely proud of yourself! You have to remember that some people are just built differently to others, and that defining ourselves by other people's ideas of beauty is just not the right thing to do. You can look smashing waist or no waist, the most important thing is to feel comfortable in yourself. Don't brush all of the positive comments away just because you aren't quite where you want to be yet, soak them in and let them boost you up! I know how you're feeling as I've been struggling recently, gaining instead of losing, and it's been tough. If losing weight was easy we'd all be the perfect size, but it's as journey and a long one at that. Size 20 is so close to size 18, you're so almost there and I have no doubt you'll look stunning at your daughter's wedding next March...saying that I'm more than certain you'll look absolutely to die for at the crimbo party too! Good luck on your journey :) x

    I know overnight oats are a big thing -- but I can't get used to the idea of cold oatmeal, though this sounds like a nice combo of flavors. Do you heat it up or eat it cold?
    1. Cliona

      02/12/2016 at 2:39 pm

      You eat it cold ? it's not steal cut oatmeal (which I know is often the case in the states) it's made with rolled oats which are softer so when you leave it with the yogurt Overnight it gets soft and it's almost like cake! It's a very different taste and experience to eating oatmeal, it's more like having granola with yogurt, just softer! Because it's with yogurt you don't get the soggy cold oatmeal sensation I promise. That might not be the best description though, it's definitely worth giving a go if you've never tried it, people often find it quite surprising!

  • Mel

    06/12/2016 at 11:27 pm

    These mushrooms are calling my name! I love mushrooms and I would gladly have them every day, but I don't because the rest of my family think it's the food of the devil (or something along those lines) so I'm not always allowed to cook them (they whine about the smell - what is wrong with my family!). I can imagine these babies served on top of a nice big slice of wholemeal toast with a poached egg on top! On another note, I'm putting together a list of foods that are Christmassy (ish) and could feature on a 'free from' table. Your fried mushrooms are perfect for that. Do you mind if I feature you in my post next week? x Mel #CookBlogShare
    1. Cliona

      07/12/2016 at 9:42 am

      I feel your pain Mel, my boyfriend hates them! I do tend to put them in things and tell him to pick them out though...I'm the one doing the cooking after all! My mum had the same issue when we were growing up as I loved them and my brother and sister hated them, they do seem to be one of those things in life! I'm definitely having these on toast next time, and a poached egg would make it for sure! I'd be absolutely thrilled if you included them in your roundup, do send the link when it's up and I'll share it on Facebook too! x

    Unfortunately sweetener is now 1/2 syn per tbsp :( . Do u use the full 200g of sukrin?
    1. Cliona

      07/12/2016 at 9:38 am

      Hi Tanya, I wrote this recipe long before Slimming World decided to syn sweetener, however in posts since I have talked about how personally I don't do this. As your limited to one slice because of your Healthy Extras you can only have a limited amount of this cheesecake, unlike for instance the 1/2 syn cake which you could eat the entirety of. I have lost almost four stone without synning sweetener as have many people before me so it's just not something that I'm going to do. However if you prefer to do so then you can of course syn the sweetener in this cheesecake to protect your own weight loss journey. Hope that helps!

      Hi Carla, thanks for your comment! For fresh pasta just cook as per the packet instructions (a few minutes usually) and then add as normal as per the recipe above. I'm sure you're aware but if you're following Slimming World you need to syn fresh pasta (although I don't if I make it myself!) ? hope that helps!

    Actually, if you mx a small amount of mincemeat into stewed apple ( you really need a very small amount to give you the mincemeat tsetse) you can lessen the sins even more!!!! And if you want "cream" with them, add sweetener and vanilla extract to either low fat creme fraiche or fromage frais and hey pesto!!! Diet? What diet??!!
    1. Cliona

      07/12/2016 at 1:16 pm

      Great idea Sian! I hadn't thought of that but will definitely give it a go, synning the cooked apple of course! Although mincemeat is surprisingly low syn I think ?

    Oh I love this twist on mince pies - I have so filo in the fridge right now and was just thinking about something similar. I'll have to try a different binder to the egg though, so probably back to some vegetable butter :)
    1. Cliona

      07/12/2016 at 2:21 pm

      Do let me know how you get on with them! I love filo, it's so versatile! Butter is the standard binder, I just used egg to cut down on the fat. Hope they turn out great!

    I've never claimed to be an early adopter to anything, but this is the first time I've heard of a "syn". What is it? Low-carb? Low sugar? Your tarts look fab!
    1. Cliona

      07/12/2016 at 2:19 pm

      Thanks Lisa! A syn is quite a specific term so I'm not surprised you've not heard of it, don't worry! It's specific to the Slimming World plan, which is really big here in the UK and growing (I believe) in the states! It's a weight loss plan, not a diet more of a lifestyle change, made up of free foods (lean meat, fat free dairy, eggs, vegetables, pasta, potatoes, rice, herbs, spices etc...), synned foods (chocolate, pastry, oil etc...) and 'Healthy Extras' which are measured amounts of fibre and dairy. It sounds like a bit of a maze but it makes it super simple to create recipes using individually synned ingredients and it's a diet which is based on home cooking which is great! Hope that explains it a little!

    07/12/2016 at 3:05 pm

    Oh what a perfect twist on the classic meat pie! I love this version using filo--I'm tired of everything puff pastry in life lol I'll be making these for sure--thanks for sharing!!!

      23/12/2016 at 8:40 pm

      You really have to try an all butter shortcrust pastry version from a UK supermarket (M&S preferably) to get the full effect....It's a sweet pastry designed to put weight on for Winter, hence we have to have a low fat version for Slimming World. Sigh.....?

    What a clever idea to use filo - I bet they are delicious! Thanks for linking up with #CookBlogShare this week
  • Eb Gargano / easypeasyfoodie.com

    07/12/2016 at 4:53 pm

    I am loving these diet friendly versions of party food you are making - what a brilliant idea to stay on plan. And these gorgeous mince pies look fab - I love your idea for using filo pastry, I'll have to try that! I make my own shortcrust pastry without sugar, which helps make them healthier, and I actually prefer them that way! I have been working on reducing my sugar intake over the last year and as a result I don't like really sugary things any more. Most biscuits, cake and chocolates just taste horrible now - which is great for keeping me healthier. Now I snack on things like oatcakes and apples - and actually enjoy them more than sweet treats - crazy huh? Eb x
    1. Cliona

      17/12/2016 at 6:21 pm

      Thanks Eb! I really loved these! I've not tried to make a low sugar shortcrust though, that sounds like a great idea! Do you have a recipe on your blog for it? I might give it a go if you do! I'm still a sucker for a sweet treat but I'm doing my best! X

  • Eb Gargano / easypeasyfoodie.com

    08/12/2016 at 10:43 pm

    Oooh yum! I do love a garlicky mushroom and yours look amazing! I totally agree about filling up your plate with veggies, the more the better in my book!! They are all so chock full of goodness...and of course also good for waistlines!! I was interested to hear your thoughts on the lazy garlic - I have often seen it in shops and wondered about it. I use a lot of garlic, so it would make my life much simpler - does it taste as nice as the fresh stuff? Eb x
    1. Cliona

      17/12/2016 at 6:17 pm

      Thanks Eb! Sorry for the delay in replying, my site was down for a few days! I really liked the lazy garlic, when you fry it at first it has quite a vinegary smell because I guess it's preserved in vinegar but it makes life so much easier! You can't really beat fresh garlic, but this is great for quick and easy recipes and it does add lots of flavour! x

    I'm not a goddess in the kitchen so my attempt to follow this recipe appears to have failed. I weighed out 25g of filo & cut it into what i thought to be 2 inch squares however, i had nowhere near enough to make 10 piles of 8 squares......where did i go wrong?
    1. Cliona

      18/12/2016 at 7:18 pm

      I'm sure they haven't failed! Use the guide of 5g per mince pie which might work better. It might be that you have a different kind of filo which is packaged differently ?
      1. Liz Barton

        18/12/2016 at 8:53 pm

        The filo i used was Just Rol, 25g was about half of one sheet, maybe a 12in square......does that sound right? They taste nice but i only managed to get 5 teeny ones so worried about getting the syns right x

    Stuffed squash like this are one of my favorite kinds of dishes -- so hearty and flavorful, but still super healthy! I'm like you, a meat eater, but I love mixing up my meals with vegetarian and even vegan dishes. I feel like it pushes me to be more creative and try new things, and of course, it means more people can enjoy my food. Bonus!
  • Rhiannon Williams

    02/01/2017 at 8:53 pm

    I tried this recipe today using the limited food I already had in the fridge. Easy to prepare and I like the fact you can be flexible with the contents. I mixed peas and bacon with the quinoa and squash. However in future I'll be looking to use mushrooms,peppers, pine nuts, chicken, tomatoes, sweet corn. The list is endless.
  • Eb Gargano / easypeasyfoodie.com

    That is such a cool gadget! I love how simple it is to use. I have made my own sushi in the past...but a looong time ago. And I remember it being rather fiddly. This looks much easier and super tasty! Plus it is so great knowing exactly what is in it and that it is full of goodness!! Good luck with your weight loss / money saving goals this year. Hope you smash them both (nothing like having a blog to keep you accountable, eh?) Eb x

    06/01/2017 at 9:18 am

    HI Cliona, Thank you for this recipe I cant wait to try it :) One question because it makes 4 portions and your only using 356 of cheese from HEA would this mean that the cheese allowance is divided by 4? So would only be 8.75grams of cheese per portion? Therefore you could use the rest of your cheese allowance on something else? I hope this makes sense :)
    1. Cliona

      06/01/2017 at 9:31 am

      Yes that's correct Jodie! You can also up the amount of cheese you add no problem! ?
  • Angela / Only Crumbs Remain

    06/01/2017 at 4:05 pm

    This looks absolutely scrummy Cliona, and butternut squashes lend themselves so well to being filled don't they. I have to agree, as a vegetarian we are last to be thought of and often do have a very limited menu to chose from when eating out. I tend to find that there's always goats' cheese on the menu - which happily I like - but can definitely get a bit samey! Angela x
    1. Cliona

      09/01/2017 at 10:07 am

    Hi did you put the whole pan in the oven to bake? ( was the handle ok?) Or did you just grill it with the handle left outside the oven? Sorry sounds like a silly question.
    1. Cliona

      08/01/2017 at 9:46 am

      Not a silly question! You can pop the pan in if it's oven safe and fits but otherwise putting it under the grill with the handle out works great too!

        Just searching for ideas on SP days and really like your simple and easy suggestions. I'm going to try the carrot chips and use butternut squash at the same time to see if that works too. Thanks

          That sounds delicious Maria! I'm sure the Butternut Squash chips will work a treat! Enjoy :)

    Might add a bit of pasta to this it looks scrummy xx

      That would be absolutely delicious! Great idea :) Thank you! x

    Thanks, Cliona - looks great! I slow-cooked a whole chicken yesterday and was going to make a curry with it this evening. Now I think I'll make this soup instead. I wasn't really 'FEELING' curry today!!! Quick question based on Julie's comment about adding pasta: do you think you could cook a little pasta with the chicken (when cooking from raw) and stock, and use instead of the flour to thicken? I think this would also cut out the syns from the flour.

      Hi Lianne, I haven't tried freezing it but I don't see why not! Just let it defrost totally before use and heat it with a bit of water stirred through over a relatively low heat and it should be fine! Really glad you liked it :) x

      You add it uncooked and then it is cooked in the stock ?

      16/01/2017 at 4:41 pm

      To hot water, but you can just add it all into the soup and heat it that way, but if you do that just make sure to stir lots to make sure it dissolves!

    Hello Cliona, Ive made a cauliflower pizza once and it stuck to the pan and i haven't got round to trying it again, so am glad to find your recipe that sounds a lot more easier to make too. #SimplySeasonal
    1. Cliona

      17/01/2017 at 5:44 pm

      Hi Shaheen, thanks so much for commenting! I'm so glad to hear that this is easier than the ones you've found before! I wanted to make it as simple as possible as I was so put off all of the super complex ones! Just make sure you squeeze as much water out as you can and don't make it too too thin and you should be fine! Decent baking paper too and Fry Light are always your friends! ? enjoy! X

    1. Cliona

      18/01/2017 at 9:04 am

      Not a silly question at all! I made it in a deep frying pan :) anything with a bit of depth to it will work, and you can grill it in the oven with the door open if you can't fit the whole thing in!

      Hi Kerry, unfortunately because Slimming World doesn't involve calorie counting I don't include calories for my recipes. I'm sure you can work it out from the ingredients list if you really need to know though ?

    I'm new to the slimming world and was so happy I found your site, you've explained some points that I was confused on. I'm a Brit living in the U.S and slimming world is very new here, so new in fact that there are no support groups you can go to but they do it all online, so finding your site is that extra motivation and help I need.

    1. Cliona

      22/01/2017 at 6:25 pm

      Hi Lisa, I'm so glad you liked it!! Unfortunately as Slimming World doesn't involve counting calories, and doesn't really fit into a specifically calorie controlled diet (as it's not about limiting) I don't work out the calorie content of my food. I'm sure if you really want to you'd be able to do so from the ingredients but otherwise you can just rest assured that it's a really balanced meal ?
  • Lisa Robinson

    22/01/2017 at 7:44 pm

    Wow just made this and it was yummy!! Hubby loved it too and couldn't believe it was low fat. I only used 3tbs of cajun but did add half a red chilli and it had a perfect zing! Used 500g of pasta and had to add a little more water but came out much better than expected.

    Amazing photos. Slimming World burgers are one of my favourite things to make and these look superb! Love the addition of the bacon, I haven't actually tried that on SW burgers before but the recipe sounds really simple which is always a bonus! Lovely post. Am going to build this into my meal planning. Will be definitely be taking a look at the pizza stuffed burger too, sounds fab! Amy. x

    Whenever I have made hasselback potatoes before I usually find the middle is still a little raw, unless I cook it for ages or use lots of cooking spray. A handy tip I have learnt, cut them up, then partially cook them in the microwave (5-9 minutes for 4 potatoes), then put them in the oven to finish cooking, crisp up and get that lovely oven baked potato taste, but with less oil.

    OMG my cooking leaves a lot to be desired these days because I have other things I'd rather do!!! This was amazing, my husband actually said EXCELLENT. I used mushrooms (our favorites) because no red peppers left but I think that added to it. I used Piri Piri seasoning because it was all I had and Quark and Parmesan made the sauce AMAZING!!!! I usually stick to tomato based sauces for SW recipes, this has jumped to top of the list. Thank you so much Pamela xx

This is definitely not your average diet food!! And I can;t remember if I have said already or not but I am loving the new look and feel of your website - it's great - really professional!!

      Thanks Eb, I'm a big fan of the Schwartz ones, they do pack a lot of flavour into them! Thanks for your comment about the new look of my blog, I really like it! No doubt I'll keep chopping and changing forever but for now I think this works really well :) x

    YUM! These look seriously tempting!! I do agree with you that it's better to find healthier ways to enjoy treats than to take a day off and go mad - and your menu looks amazing - I don't think anyone could feel deprived after that!! Thanks for linking it up to #CookBlogShare :-) Eb x

    HI Cliona Love your blog! Quick question about SWSP: I'm a long term SW fan who has had major success so far, but now I'm living out of the UK and haven't been to a group in a long time, SP is a new concept to me. Can I do SP days in an ordinary extra easy week, or is it an SP week or an EE week? Hope this makes sense, keep up the good work, I'm glad I stumbled on to this page! Best wishes Emma x
    1. Cliona

      10/02/2017 at 1:02 pm

      Hi Emma, sorry it has taken me a little bit to get back to you! You can absolutely mix SP days in with regular EE days on Slimming World. Personally I find it too much to do a whole week of SP so tend to do a couple of days to help boost my week. Hope that helps! Really glad you enjoy my blog :) x

    Loving the look of that Cajun dressing - think I'll give that a try. I'm a big fan of Cajun seasoning but usually just mix it with olive oil to use as a rub when I'm being lazy! #CookBlogShare

    Absolutely delicious. I have just made this for my lunch this week. I substituted the graded cheese for mozzarella, used Arla quark (with garlic and herbs) and also added sweetcorn, peas and mushrooms. Can't wait to eat it. My tater was absolutely amazing. Thankyou.

    1. Cliona

      13/02/2017 at 5:26 pm

      Hi Jasmine, I'm not aware of any other icing sugar substitutes unfortunately so you may need to make regular icing on this occasion. Alternatively you could top it with fruit and yogurt or something along those lines!

      16/02/2017 at 7:48 pm

      Hi Cat, just follow the instructions on the stock packet as different brands suggest different amounts. I like to use two stock cubes but it's personal taste. Thanks!
  • porshe04

    17/02/2017 at 1:33 pm

    Hi Cliona, thanks so much for all of the information you've listed. One question, does start weight affect the amount of syns you're allowed? or any other part of the diet? If so do you have any idea of what weight = how many syns. Thanks
    1. Cliona

      17/02/2017 at 1:43 pm

      Hi there, you're very welcome! I don't have any information on that I'm afraid, although I believe above 16 stone you're allowed more. It's probably best to ask a Slimming World consultant to find out the extract details though!
  • Sonia

    18/02/2017 at 5:30 pm

    I'm a bit confused! I did 4 days of sp easy. I was very strict and I put on a pound. Admittedly my monthly came on the day of weigh in. What did I do wrong?
    1. Cliona

      21/02/2017 at 10:23 am

      Hi Sonia, your cycle does have a huge effect on your weight loss and can cause water retention and bloating which really does make a difference with weight loss. SP doesn't necessarily work straight away and you can sometimes see a result a week or so after, so just keep going and I'm sure you'll see a difference. SP doesn't necessarily work for everyone though, some people just need more carbs in their diet to lose weight! Make sure you're eating enough when you're doing it and ensure you're having both your Healthy Extra B choices as that can help give you the carbs and the fibre you need! Hope that helps, well done for committing to your weight loss :)

    Hi I picked up Creme frais instead of fromage frais will this affect the sauce
    1. Cliona

      19/02/2017 at 6:54 pm

      H Lorraine, Creme frais is quite high in syns I think so I wouldn't advise using it ?

    19/02/2017 at 7:07 pm

    But would it affect the dish if I did
    1. Cliona

      19/02/2017 at 7:08 pm

      I don't think so however I haven't used it in this recipe so I wouldn't want to say for sure ?
      1. Gina

        22/02/2017 at 2:48 pm

        Lorraine: I used creme fraiche the first time I made it because I picked up the wrong tub in Tesco - d'oh! It was lovely, I just had to syn it instead of having a free meal. I'm making it again tonight, and yes, I have fromage frais this time! I won't be using the grated cheese, it was fine without it last time.

    1. Cliona

      22/02/2017 at 5:30 pm

      Thanks Ali! If you make them savoury, without lots of sugar in them, the egg and bacon on top works so well!

  • Monika Dabrowski

    01/03/2017 at 3:20 pm

    This is such a genius idea Cliona! Not something you see every day yet makes perfect sense! We probably tend to eat too much grain and not enough protein, which is so important for breakfast, and this recipe really solves this problem!
    1. Cliona

      01/03/2017 at 3:23 pm

      Thanks Monica! I'm a big carb fan but you're right, we do eat too much grain. I sometimes love to just cut it out and enjoy a protein fix!

    If muller yogurt are free why can't they be ate on sp day just going to try doing sp for the first time
    1. Cliona

      08/03/2017 at 4:21 pm

      Hi Edith, on SP days you have to eat foods which are designated as either 'Speed' or 'Protein' on Slimming World, plus your Healthy Extras. As yogurts aren't either speed or protein you can't include them in the plan on an SP day. I hope that helps!

    Wow! This looks absolutely gorgeous - and so quick and easy too! I shall definitely be making it this week. One thing, Cliona. Could the honey be replaced with granular low cal sweetener? That would knock out the Syns completely then I would think. Keep the recipes coming, you're doing a grand job!
    1. Cliona

      13/03/2017 at 1:04 pm

      HI Janine, thanks so much, I'm really glad you like the recipe! Yes you could absolutely replace it with sweetener if you wanted to. Just to let you know, under Slimming World's latest rules you need to syn granulated sweetener at half a syn per tablespoon. If there's less than a tablespoon per portion though you don't need to syn it.

    Hi. I am such a fussy eater so find SP days so hard. I usually have poached egg on toast for lunch. Can I add the S by having a fresh fruit meddley after my poached egg on toast? Or does it have to be part of the meal? Not sure what I can put with poached egg on toast lol ?
    1. Cliona

      13/03/2017 at 1:03 pm

      The idea of SP is to have half of your meal as speed, however if you're using your Healthy Extra B I know it can be hard to do that! What you don't want to do is eat unnecessary calories just because you feel like you need to eat more speed. You can try adding some cucumber or tomatoes if you like them alongside your poached eggs, but if you don't want to just make sure to have plenty of speed at your other meals!

    Feeling totally confused. Can I have Aldi FF Banana & Custard Yogurts, 1/2 Syn, (or similar, if the are Syned) for my 5-15 daily Syns? Surely, if I can have chocolate, wine and sweets, for my daily Syns, the yogurt would be better. I love my desserts and am happy with speed fruit and yogurt on my SP days. Please help. xx
    1. Cliona

      17/03/2017 at 1:21 pm

      Hi Patricia, unfortuantely you can't have yogurt even if it's a synned variety as it won't be accounting the full amount of syns that you'd need to count and there's no way of working it out. It's best to stick to foods which stick within the SP framework or are fully synned. Hope that helps!

        19/04/2017 at 5:39 am

        Thought blitzing oats would be a tweak ending up high syns ? ?
        1. Cliona

          21/04/2017 at 12:44 pm

          Hi Anne, tweaks only reference a free food being made into a non free food like flour. For example if this used quinoa as flour then that would be a tweak as you'd be in danger of overeating the quinoa and putting your weight loss at risk. With oats however you are either synning them or using it as your Healthy Extra B and therefore you are limited to the amount you can eat and therefore it isn't a tweak. If you don't use these as your Healthy Extra B then you have to syn the oats as oats, but if you are using your HexB then you can count the oats as syn free for that given quantity. Hope that helps!

    Carrot cake is one of my favorites. The restaurant that catered my wedding actually had a mostly guilt-free carrot cake using quinoa; it was easily the best carrot cake I've ever had in my life but have yet to replicate it. I'll have to try your cake in the meantime. :)

        08/08/2020 at 2:12 pm

        Hi! Have made this recipe three times in the last two months... I make 12 cupcakes out of this mix, so I can just take one, and know my quantities. But I have two questions about alternatives. 1) Can I use liquid sweetener instead, and how much? 2) Is there an alternative to eggs? Thanks /H
        1. Cliona

          24/09/2020 at 1:25 pm

          Hi Henriette, I'm so glad you like the recipe! I think you could certainly use a liquid sweetener, but you would need to adjust the quantities based on whatever sweetener you were using. In terms of egg alternatives, I haven't tried it myself but I know people often use a flaxseed or chia seed mixture instead of eggs for vegan recipes. If you look up substitution quantities you should be able to find the information you need. I'm intrigued to hear how it goes!

    Syn free using your Healthy Extra A on Slimming World.? I notice you say its free if you have 1/6 portion but 6 syns if you have a double portion? How is this if they are all "Free" Ingredients? I notice in the latest SW magazine they make it with Primula Cheese, which makes it 6 syns or free if Using HEA ... But I've not noticed cheese in your recipe.... Unless I'm being blind!!!
    1. Cliona

      23/03/2017 at 11:25 am

      Hi Katie, the recipe includes 180g of grated cheddar cheese which is divided to be your Healthy Extra A.

            12/03/2018 at 6:40 pm

            Hi Ethel, you can work out the syn value for each muffin by dividing the total amount of syns by the number so you can even make a smaller batch for more syns per muffin if you like!

    1. Cliona

      27/03/2017 at 2:26 pm

      Hi Danni, lovely to hear from you! Congratulations on starting your Slimming World journey! I have a massively sweet tooth so I totally feel your pain! I don't like most sweeteners either but discovered Surkin which is amazing and doesn't have that nasty aftertaste that most sweeteners have! It has the same texture and taste as regular sugar and can be used on a 1:1 substitution for sugar which is great! I'd really recommend getting your hands on some of that as it might help! If you don't like it though, mashed banana can be used to sweeten lots of recipes, such as pancakes or muffins, although you have to remember to syn it as 4 syns per 100g if it's mashed :) hope that helps! Good luck on your journey!

  • Emma Smith

    26/03/2017 at 4:03 am

    High Cliona, does turning the oats into a sort of flour increase syn value even more? Only my consultant says that once you alter the natural state if it, it has to be synned ?? I really want to try this recipe but am worried I may be having more syns than described :o/ thanks for your brilliant posts and site x
    1. Cliona

      27/03/2017 at 2:21 pm

      Hi Emma, don't worry! It's not a tweak if it's being used as your Healthy Extra B and if you're not using it as that you're synning it anyway so you're not in danger of overeating. A tweak only counts for free foods being used in a different way, for example if quinoa was being used as the flour, this would need to be synned as flour!
  • Tina

    27/03/2017 at 11:30 am

    Do you have to use all your syns in 1 day or can you save them for a night out
    1. Cliona

      27/03/2017 at 2:22 pm

      You can save them if there's a special occasion, many people do this a lot but Slimming World don't advise doing it regularly. Instead they suggest being flexible with your syns, still ensuring that you have some syns every day and counting your syns but not beating yourself up if you go over! You can find more info about Flexi Syns on the Slimming World website if that helps!
  • Michelle

    27/03/2017 at 3:37 pm

I adore chicken tikka masala, and have almost always made it using yogurt: I with you 100% there, since the flavor doesn't come from the cream (and, in fact, the yogurt imparts a subtle flavor that's quite nice!). Not to mention that yogurt is fantastic for marinating. I can't wait to give your version a try!

    Hello! Sorry i still don't feel like I'm following fully and i don't want hidden syns ?. Does it have to be a wholemeal mix?? And if you make up the pizza bases can they be frozen until next time as long as they are only 60g?
    1. Cliona

      08/04/2017 at 1:39 pm

      Yes it has to be one of the approved wholemeal bread mixes and you can freeze the bases :)

    Looks like a fab recipe, Cliona. I was intrigued to hear about the low sugar Cheerios - that's good news as my kids love Cheerios, but I hate how much sugar they have in them (and so many cereals!!! Even the 'healthy' ones - I eat Shredded Wheat now as it is the only one I can find with no added sugar at all...well apart from oats!!) Thanks for linking it up to #CookBlogShare :-D Eb x

    They are totally amazing, made them tonight. Just noticed the recipe details says 12 mould recipe but the write up details on the doughnuts says it makes 20? X
    1. Cliona

      15/04/2017 at 11:21 am

      Hi Lyndsey, you'll have plenty of batter left over to make the extra doughnuts!
  • Lynbe

    14/04/2017 at 8:07 am

    I'm sure the syns are much higher than stated. The oats are 40g for your hex b then 7 syn s per 40g on top of that. Add the sweetener and it must be at least 30 syns for the whole cake.
    1. Cliona

      15/04/2017 at 11:20 am

      Hi Lynne, the syns stated are per slice not for the whole cake and also take into account using two slices as your HexB. If you do not do this then you have to syn the oats accordingly.
    2. Katy

      30/09/2017 at 12:34 pm

      I agree, the syns are very difficult to work out, especially as it says serves 2. Perhaps if the recipe said how many to cut it into to make it the HEB and 2 syns per serving then it would be easier to understand
  • Kitty

    14/04/2017 at 5:40 pm

    Yummers. Made this yesterday so nice. I couldn't find the special k bars so used 10 Aldi Benefit Light Summer Berry bars (2 are a hexb), i'm also new to slimming world so i synned the sweetner (75g) synning the bars, philly and sweetner it works out at 6syns a slice (10 portions) but I don't know how many syns it would be if I used my hexb and hexa daily allowance for a slice too. Can you help? It would be easy if the bars were 1 for hexb like your recipe but there 2. Sorry for being a pain i just can't get my head around it.

    what roll did you use , looks half white but so fine !

      It was a crusty wholemeal roll from Sainsbury's if I recall correctly! It wasn't half white, I think it's a trick of the light, but it was super tasty!

    1. Cliona

      21/04/2017 at 12:44 pm

      Absolutely! I love using the passionfruit because it has its own sauce so there is no need to syn any blended fruit but it works very well with other fruit too :)

  • Jo

    19/04/2017 at 7:06 pm

    I tried these at the weekend. Lovely texture, nice rise, nice taste...until the hideous aftertaste I'd too much artificial sweetener hit. I never usually use artificial sweetener, but family do and agreed that there was too much. I used Canderel...is there a better one for this recipe? All of the SW brownie recipes I find say about the same amount of sweetener but none specify what type, and because I'm a novice with sweetener I have no idea of where to start to modify it myself! Or if I were doing these with sugar how much would I use? If I know that I can calculate how to use Sweet Freedom instead. Thanks!
    1. Cliona

      21/04/2017 at 12:41 pm

      Hi Jo, thanks very much for your comment! Since making this recipe I have discovered Sukrin which is a brand of sweeteners that is seriously above and beyond everything else! They have the same texture and consistancy as normal sugar and they're substituted 1:1 which is really handy too (no more using an entire tub for one recipe!). They also don't have the nasty aftertaste either which is a big bonus!
      1. Vicky Walker

        15/01/2021 at 8:33 pm

        Hey, Awesome recipe in terms of look and rise etc.... but please no one use stevia in the exact quantity as stated in the recipe.... tastes like burnt egg!! Going to try again tomorrow with a different sweetener xxxx

    1. Cliona

      25/04/2017 at 9:11 am

      Thanks Emma! I just think it needs to be left up to the individual, as you say it worked for you so who's anyone else to tell you it doesn't! Everyone's body is different. I'm 100% behind suggesting that if people tweak and find that they're not losing then it might be the problem, but there's not such thing as a one size fits all weight loss method so it's important to be flexible!

    This is a beautiful sounding and looking recipe, Cliona! These sweet pointed peppers are my staple salad ingredient though I've never tried roasting them. The addition of the barley sounds very interesting, not an ingredient I would normally associate with 'stuffing' which makes it all the more appealing here. Thank you for sharing with #CookBlogShare:)

    1. Cliona

      27/04/2017 at 2:43 pm

      Hi Susannah, you can find the syns for specific items on the Slimming World app or website and if it isn't on there you can use Slimming World's syn calculator to work things out. If there is no free food in the thing you're eating, you can use the 20kcal = 1 syn rule, however this only works for things like sweets, chocolate or crisps. Hope that helps! Good luck on your journey!

    Hi Cliona, this was such an encouraging article thank you. Ive been doing SW for a few weeks and although I'm not thinking of packing it in, I do wonder if I can maintain this long enough to lose half my body weight (eek) and also can I do it for the rest of my life? I think I'm having a wobbly moment. I just ate half a brownie thinking it was about 5 syns, then found out it was 10.5! Maybe I just have to accept brownies can't be 'normal' food anymore! Grarg. Anyway thanks again for the article it did help me get things in perspective a bit. ??

      Hi Lucy, I'm so pleased you found this useful! Remember slow and steady wins the race and you will get there in the end if you just stick with it! We all have wobbly moments but it's how we deal with them that sets success apart. I've got a few brownie recipes on here, as well as some other sweet treats, which might help! Good luck on your journey!

      Absolutely, it would work a treat! You may need to adjust the liquid slightly so maybe add gradually and mix until you get the right consistency!

        Hi made 2 of these cakes lovely texture , but not at all sweet I’m using Betty winters granulated sweetener should this make a difference? It just needs to be sweeter Martin
        1. Cliona

          21/10/2020 at 7:47 pm

          Hi Martin, thanks for your comment. It may indeed be the kind of sweetener you're using, but I haven't used that specific brand before so I can't say for sure. You could try adding a bit more sweetener if you like, or maybe adding a natural sweetener like agave syrup for an extra sweet touch. If you do the latter though just make sure to account for it in the syn value if you're following Slimming World! All the best, Cliona

    I love fruity ice pops! (By the way.. in the U.S. a squash is a vegetable, but I don't think that's what you're talking about haha!) This looks yummy!
    1. Cliona

      09/05/2017 at 10:31 pm

      Me too! Haha we have squash (the vegetable) here too but it's also what we call the fruit syrup that you mix with water too! Imagine if someone got the two muddled up...it'd make for some odd results!

    So excited about all the spring berries and summer berries. I know I'm going to need this so I can lick something more interesting than ice cubes when it gets hot!
    1. Cliona

      09/05/2017 at 10:32 pm

      I'm a big fan of ice cubes don't get me wrong, but I do love a good ice pop!

    Has anyone used a different pasta to penne did you use the same amount?
    1. Cliona

      You could absolutely use another pasta (I do all the time!) and yes you'd just need the same amount :)

    Hi! The cake looks great, i'm planning to make it this weekend! I would like to ask for a little help please: at the ingredients you write 1.5x powdered geltin. D you mean i need to use 2 and a half packs all together, or i need just a little amount one pack? Thank you for your help!
    1. Cliona

      09/05/2017 at 10:28 pm

    That glaze looks incredible! It sounds perfect paired with the coconut doughnuts. I love that the St Dalfour preserves use high concentrated fruit juice instead of processed sugars.
    1. Cliona

      10/05/2017 at 12:26 pm

      Thanks Tara! They're such a better option! I love jams and spreads but I do worry about spreading liberally...but with these you don't have to worry anymore!
  • Mandy

    10/05/2017 at 12:17 pm

    Ooh I've spotted those St Dalfour preserves in my local health food shop before - I'll have to pick them up as they sound like they'd be a lot better for my kids than the ordinary jam we buy - which they all love to spread liberally on their toast every morning!
    1. Cliona

      10/05/2017 at 12:25 pm

      It's such a great option and they'd never even be able to tell! Can you believe my mum used the fact that it's healthier to justify polishing off the whole jar!

    14/05/2017 at 10:30 am

    Heya Cliona! I agree with SW being helpful with emotional eating. I avoided it for a while because 'diets' I'd tried before just made it worse, but for some reason SW is different. Maybe because I'm not constantly counting calories or points, or ever going hungry. And I really like the 'flexible syns' thing, so if I do really want a big piece of cake one day I can just have it, without the guilt and feeling like I've 'ruined' my diet. I think it's probably the healthiest easiest way to lose weight, cos I've tried SO many other things! Great post thank you Xx
    1. Cliona

      14/05/2017 at 6:59 pm

    15/05/2017 at 1:33 pm

    this is the most logical and intelligent explanation about tweaks that I have ever found. I was having a hard time (I am left brained most of the time...) accepting that a calorie was not a calorie....for instance, I enjoyed using a small (60 grams) sweet potato as my base for pancakes instead of wheat bran (just for a change)...thereby also retaining my B for something else later...I was told it was not allowed...even though I KNEW I WAS NOT OVER-INDULGING in sweet potato and that had i chosen to eat it as a FREE food, I would no doubt have consumed a lot more than 60 grams. So, I think the idea is that yes, we can tweak, but if they weight gets stuck, or it is more than a SERVING - then that is what got us in trouble in the first place. Ye makes yer choices and ye takes yer chances...do I want roasted chickpeas more than I want to be healthy and hot? No. I have a great group leader who tried to explain the reasoning to me, and I think that she was right - probably was going to abuse it earlier on in my journey. Thank you so much. Look forward to hearing more from you.
    1. Cliona

      15/05/2017 at 1:50 pm

      I am so pleased that you found this useful and logical! You're exactly right, it can be really difficult to rationalise it but the best thing to keep in mind is that if you deviate from the official plan and then find the weight isn't coming off, then the first thing to do is to go back to how the plan should be and see what happens. I hope you enjoy the rest of my articles!
  • Natalie

    16/05/2017 at 6:50 pm

    Not sure what happened with mine! But at the 20 minute mark my chicken was still very raw, would of had to leave it in for at least an hour!
    1. Cliona

      17/05/2017 at 12:16 pm

      Hi Natalie, that is very odd! Of course you should always cook for as long as needed to cook through and all ovens are different, 20 minutes is usually sufficient to cook the average chicken breast but of course if you check it and it is still too raw then you should leave it in longer!
    2. Jacky Montgomery

      26/10/2017 at 9:26 am

      HI Natalie, mine was the same, I would say it definitely needed longer.

      Hi Vanessa, as it says on the recipe this serves two (albeit in quite large servings!). If another recipe says its serves four then it's likely to have different quantities. Hope that helps!

I am a huge fan of the fakeaway, I am forever making my own curries, Chinese dishes, pizzas etc. They are so much healthier than takeaways - and way nicer AND cheaper! And I can usually make them in the time it takes to have one delivered, anyway! What's not to like? Eb x

      30/05/2017 at 11:54 am

      Hi Margaret, that's very strange. The jelly should definitely not start setting for a while, did you leave it sitting at all? If you mix straight away there should be no reason why it would go lumpy!

    A recipe that only takes 3 minutes to make always gets my vote! If my microwave hadn't crushed 2 days ago I would definitely make it today. Pinned it for later! #CookBlogShare

    hmmm, I wonder. I love a challenge me and this looks too good an idea not to tweak so that I can have it too...one egg free gluten free, dairy free chocolate mug cake coming up! #CookBlogShare
    1. Cliona

      31/05/2017 at 3:44 pm

      Enjoy! If you replace the egg with a mashed banana and use oat flour or another gluten free flour plus gluten free baking powder it'll work!

    I have just made this for tomorrow's lunch. Tried a little bit and it's delicious. Just wondering how I should store or reheat, as it says "enjoy straight away". I'm scared it's not going to taste the same tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe. Xxx
    1. Cliona

      07/06/2017 at 2:14 pm

      Hi Ashley, sorry for not replying sooner! In terms of reheating you can add a little bit of water and microwave, or add it back into the pan on a low heat with some water and make sure you heat it all through. Hope that helps!

    Hi there, I've been on SW since the beginning of January & have been losing steady fir most of that time ( odd 4 or 3lb loss but mainly 1lb and the odd maintain or gain) I find not drinking enough fluids can be a problem for me, it causes fluid retention. The way I proved this was I went away for 9 days, ate lots of healthy stuff, had a few alcoholic drinks but my feet on the journey there & back came up like balloons. It was a 30 hr coach journey as my hubby doesn't fly. I came back & jumped on the scales to find a whopping 10lbs gain that evening! The next day was my class weigh in so I was horrified lol. I weighed myself the next morning & I was down by 3lb & my feet had started to go down. By the evening class my gain was only 6lb. In that week I drank alot more fluids than I had on my journey & days out. In the following week I had lost 5lb! Never havery I lost 5! Lol. I find if I go to the loo plenty of times in the day after drinking then my losses are much better
    1. Cliona

      07/06/2017 at 2:12 pm

      Hi Tina, first of all well done on your fantastic loss! It sounds like you've done incredibly well! Water retention is a huge factor when it comes to the scales and it sounds to me like you had it really badly, but I'm glad to see it went down! Drinking lots of water is essential for flushing out excess water so it sounds like you've done exactly the right thing! Good luck on the rest of your journey, you should be so proud of yourself! x

    Hi Cliona I have just found your site basically because your yummy looking recipe for SW nachos caught my attention. I did SW many many years ago and lost 3 stone, but since then have totally lost the plot and just put lots more weight back on. I notice it has changed somewhat since I did it before so some of it is new to me now. Also since then I have been diagnosed type 2 diabetes which is no fun at all as I love carbs (potatoes mainly) Also a burden is my very sweet tooth. Basically, I'm just unsure if SW is worth trying again as a lot of the lovely recipes contain carbs. Any suggestions. X
    1. Cliona

      07/06/2017 at 2:11 pm

      Hi Sally! I'm so glad you've found my site! Slimming World has probably changed a bit since you first did it (this might help: https://basementbakehouse.com/2017/01/how-slimming-world-works/) but it's still very much worth doing! I know there are lots of people who do Slimming World with type 2 diabetes, but I would get some proper medical advice from a doctor or advice from a SW consultant about any changes you need to make to the plan to fit. I do know there are lots of success stories where people actually get rid of their diabetes through Slimming World! You can also adapt many recipes that have high cards to use low carb options, for example using cauliflower rice or spiralized veg instead of pasta! Where there's a will there's a way and I'm sure it would still work for you :) hope that helps!

    Just eaten these, made them in a jar mug last night. They were absolutely lush, was a little apprehensive because I don't like porridge so thought I wouldn't like the oats - but have already bought more fruit to make again this week! Thank you for sharing :)

    hi...sorry im confused .... i have yoghurt as my hea in my porridge ,,,you say you can have your normal hea and 2 heb when on SP...so why cant i have my hea yoghurt ?
    1. Cliona

      13/06/2017 at 12:48 pm

      Hi Sue, lovely to hear from you. Yogurt's aren't used as your HeA, they are simply either synned or syn free. On SP days you can only have either Speed Food, Protein Foods, Healthy Extras or your 5-15 syns. You aren't allowed yogurt, even if it's synned, as you won't be able to syn the full amount as they have free food content. Hope that helps clear it up!
      1. Maggie

        11/02/2020 at 6:27 pm

        Can I have a slice of brown wholemeal toast as my heb and grated cheese for my heA

    hi Cliona, could i just ask, what do you use the rest of the balsamic (2 Tablespoons) on? is this for a side salad or is there a bit of the recipe missing? thanks.

      Hi Lynn, couscous is free however as it's not a S or P food or a Healthy Extra you can't have it on SP days. It's great on normal Easy Extra days though! Hope that helps! :)

    Hi Cliona, thank you for posting fabulous recipes - I'm a Slimming World consultant & it really excites & inspires my members. However, your followers are putting a lot of faith & trust into the information you provide. I'm afraid it isn't always correct. One of my members made the pizza, shared what she did with my group only to find out that the only bread mix which can be considered a Healthy Extra is Aldi, so NOT Morrison's, Asda or Tesco. Thought you should know, I'm sure you never meant to mislead your followers xx

    1. Cliona

      15/08/2017 at 5:19 pm

      Hi Rebecca, all syn information is at the bottom of the recipe :) enjoy! 17 syns for the whole mixture if dividing 30 muffins between four people. Healthy Extra B = 7.5 muffins. Chocolate chips = 6 syns. If you don't use them minus six syns from the total. If not using your Healthy Extra B the mixture is 41 syns, which makes the muffins 1.5 syns each. Syn values correct at time of writing.

      They’re also not gluten free, Oats are not gluten free ??‍♀️
      1. Cliona

        02/07/2018 at 11:49 am

        Hi Francesca, as specified in the post you need to look for oats that are specified as gluten free. Oats themselves are gluten free however many 'may contain traces' as they are processed in factories that are not gluten free.

    Would you put a normal slow cooker on high or low? Sorry if it's a silly question - I'm new to slow cooking! :)
    1. Cliona

      30/08/2017 at 3:01 pm

      If you can use a medium setting then that would work best, but if not then I'd put it on high :)
  • Jean cooper

    31/08/2017 at 5:59 pm

    I made this tonight and like another poster had to leave it in for another half hour. Having said that it's turned out to be one of the most succelent chicken dishes I have ever tasted. Thanks

    04/09/2017 at 5:59 pm

    Hey, I'm just wondering what rice you used, as mine has been in the oven for way longer than 25 mins and it's still hard. I've had to add extra water too. The flavours are delicious though.
    1. Cliona

      04/09/2017 at 8:35 pm

      I think I used easy cook white rice from Tesco for this recipe, but if it's not cooking just do exactly what you've done and add a bit more liquid and keep it simmering for as long as it needs :)
  • Dahn

    05/09/2017 at 12:10 am

    I love a good roast chicken. It smells so good when it is cooking, makes a wonderful dinner and all the leftovers can be made into so many things. Yummy

    This just made it's way into my dinner plans for the week. Yum!

    That lemon and herb marinade is really nice. I think I can use that on other things too!
  • Sandi

    05/09/2017 at 4:30 am

    I love how you pack this chicken to stay so moist while baking.

    Hi, this sounds lovely! Do you make your own pumpkin purree or buy canned? The great thing is that we are now allowed 40gr oats :)
    1. Cliona

      05/09/2017 at 12:11 pm

      I make my own as I've never seen it in the stores in the UK :)

        How do you make it, do you add anything to the purée pumpkin? Thanks in advance
        1. Cliona

          21/11/2017 at 9:49 pm

          Hi Ash, I don't add anything to the pumpkin puree. If you prefer it a little sweeter you could add some sugar or agave syrup if you wanted :)

    Hi, what would you recommend drinking on SP days? I enjoy a diet coke, and some sugar free quash usually - but these are free? Don't know if i am over-thinking it :D Thanks!
    1. Cliona

      26/09/2017 at 12:19 pm

      Hi Rachel, yes those are both free :) enjoy!

        Hi , If diet coke is free can I have it on SP days ?
        1. Cliona

          19/10/2017 at 6:12 pm

          Yes absolutely ? Drinks aren't counted in the rules on SP so Diet Coke is fine!
  • Lisa | Garlic & Zest

    05/09/2017 at 12:57 pm

    Roast chicken is just such a homey dish -- and your marinade looks so fresh and vibrant -- that's going to add a ton of flavor.
  • Cat

    05/09/2017 at 12:58 pm

    This looks amazing! My mouth was definitely watering while I read this. I've never thought to pulse garlic and herbs etc to make a marinade for chicken - I will definitely be trying this. Also love how fresh and perfect your herbs look - mine don't always look that good so I'm jealous x
  • Tara

    05/09/2017 at 2:06 pm

    Yum! I need to make roast chicken more often. This flavors here sound incredible. I love that golden crust.
  • Beth

    05/09/2017 at 2:41 pm

    What a beautiful chicken that is! I do the same as you do and put the herbs and some fat between the skin and the breast. It keeps the chicken so moist and flavorful! Now I want to go take a chicken out the freezer!! :)
  • Ginny

    I have chosen to follow the Slimming World plan for the simple reason that no food is "bad". I like a glass (or two) of wine, butter on my jacket potato, bread (I won't be having this combination on a daily basis obviously) and Slimming World lets YOU fit what YOU like into your daily diet. In my first week I lost 5.5 lbs (yay) and am aiming for 1 - 1.5 lb per week. Good luck to everyone on their journey.

    Hi Cliona If I half cooked the chicken first would it be better because my electric oven always seems to take longer than others it a brand new oven .

      04/10/2017 at 5:14 pm

      Hi Kate, I believe it's the Asda mix you can use :) I just stick to 60g wet dough, although this does come out as slightly less when cooked I think it's better safe than sorry!

    Hi Client, Love these. Must try for Christmas! Could you tell me what type of mincemeat you used? Can you just use a jar like Tesco 's finest or did you use a specific low fat version? We've a Sw taster next week. I'd bring these along!!! Thanks!

    2. Cliona

      06/10/2017 at 9:28 am

      Hi Angie, I just used normal mincemeat, however I believe you can get 'light' version so that would reduce the syns even more! You would just need to check the syn values of whichever brand you use and adjust accordingly :)

    Hi I noticed not many syns used I'm starting tomorrow is it best not to use them ? And is it best to gave two high carb free days
    1. Cliona

      10/10/2017 at 4:57 pm

      Hi Maria, I haven't included the syns in the meal plan as people always like to use their syns differently. You should definitely use your syns though and can build them into your meals or eat them outside meal times depending on what works for you! The carb free days are SP days, however on those as explained you need to have two Healthy Extra Bs to compensate for the lower amount of carbs. As long as you fully understand the plan and read all of the info through you should be fine :)

    Just came across your recipe and wondered if it can be frozen and if so at what stage?
    1. Cliona

      13/11/2017 at 5:21 pm

      Hi Liz, what I'd advise is making the BBQ sauce and then freezing it in a zip lock bag with the chicken. You can then defrost and add the cheese on when it goes in the oven!
  • Lucy

    22/10/2017 at 9:04 pm

    Hi Caliona, Do you used gold or white Sukrin for this? Just tried it with stevia and thought it was okay, after taste wasn’t too bad. Want to try with the Sukrin. Many thanks Lucy
    1. Cliona

      13/11/2017 at 5:20 pm

      You could use either depending on the flavour you want Lucy, gold will give a more caramel flavour to it :)

    I do feel that sometimes people act like the Slimming World Police are going to come and take them away if they don't follow the plan to the letter.. Yes, the plan works, and I am doing my best to keep it as the basis for my eating, but at the end of the day when I pay for group I am buying a product.-i.e. the Food Optimising concept. If I choose to do something differently once in a while, that's all it is- a choice. It's not the end of the world.

    Great recipe I tried thus but mine came out a bit too soggy after setting them in the fridge overnight. I might have to adjust my recipe. Or maybe I blended the oats with the mixture when I shouldn't have as yours looks like it has a lot more texture. I well definitely try again! Thank you!

    Hi, do you think these would these be suitable to make in an electric waffle iron if I sprayed it with firelight before adding the batter???
    1. Cliona

      13/11/2017 at 5:17 pm

      Hi Yvonne, absolutely I've done it in an electric one before! The only thing that makes a difference is it's a bit hard to get out of the mould but if you have one of those ones that flips or a good spatula you'll be fine!

A lot going on in my life at the minute and I feel like given up, but a small part of me wants to keep going ( I'm a comfort eater) I came across your site and I don't know how, but it was like it I was ment to find it to keep me going. Looking forward to all the meal ideas and tips. Thanks for the great site S xx

    I've never tried tenderstem broccoli but it sounds like it would be really good. And since this is soup weather for sure this looks like a great one to add to the mix.
  • Danielle

    05/01/2018 at 2:34 am

    Oooh, this is perfect chilly weather eating! I always think that Asian-flavored soups are sort of intimidating, but this one looks super easy. And I seriously need to check out that broccoli and see if it's available in the US - frozen broccoli is awful, suitable only for soups. This would be such a game changer!
    1. Cliona

      05/01/2018 at 2:50 pm

      It is definitely great for the cold weather! The frozen broccoli is a dream! I know what you mean, usually I won't go near frozen broccoli because it defrosts a soggy mess, so this is such a nice change!

  • Sue

    05/01/2018 at 8:04 am

    These are all great tips. I find it much cheaper to buy frozen fruit and veg - it gives me more flexibility around my meal plans and, especially for fruit, it means it lasts a lot longer (who hasn't bought a punnet of raspberries, only for them to be mouldy within a day or two?). Plus, frozen veg, in particular, retains more of its nutrients than the "fresh" stuff which has often been flown halfway around the world before ending up on the supermarket shelf. I do draw the line at frozen mushrooms, though - slimy, nasty!
    1. Cliona

      05/01/2018 at 2:48 pm

      I'm so glad you find the tips useful! I know I spend so much time trying to work out how I can save money! I love using frozen veggies and my freezer is full of useful things like that!

    What soy sauce do you use? I made this last night, using 4tbsp of dark soy sauce like said and the soy sauce was way overpowering and I couldn’t eat it. Any help would be very much appreciated!
    1. Cliona

      05/01/2018 at 2:47 pm

      I usually use the Kikoman Soy Sauce but it varies depending on what I have in the house. If you find the soy sauce a bit overpowering then I would switch to a lighter soy sauce in the future :) hope that helps!

    10/01/2018 at 10:53 pm

    Hi, Just one point, the article reads like if you over indulge one day and go over your syns then you can account for it the next day. That is not the case, SW advise that if you go over your syns you write it off and forget about it, treating the next day as a normal ‘on plan’ day with 5-15 syns as usual. I believe the reason is because people were accumulating syns for special occasions and that’s not the idea. If you have a special meal, etc, then have what you like and don’t syn it but get right back on plan as soon as you an. Allowing people to make up for over indulgences the following day is similar to a yo-yo diet and encourages that behaviour. Kind regards
  • Helena

    Could u use Belgian choc options instead of cocoa? If so how many syns would u suggest? Thanks
    1. Cliona

      22/01/2018 at 9:46 pm

      Yes you definitely could, you'd just need to adjust the syns by removing the cocoa syns and adding the choc shot ones!

    I'm with you 100% on the tweaking! I use tweaks within a meal for example Banana pancakes for breakfast, essentially it's 2 eggs & 1 banana with a little sweetener ground ginger ground cinnamon! & a little vanilla then I add some strawberries with a sweetened quark/yogurt mix. SW would allow me to eat 2 boiled eggs followed by a banana, strawberries & a fat free yogurt so I don't see the difference yet I believe they class the banana pancakes as a tweak :-/ Again with you, if you're using tweaks and still losing weight then it's a bonus when the weight loss slows down then you can maybe drop the tweaks to boost the loss again :-D I found your blog by accident but I'm so glad I did :-D

    Hello, You say that we are allowed a slice of bread. Is that a slice a day or a meal pls. Thanks for the great article.
    1. Cliona

      You can have a slice of bread as your healthy extra B per day, or two slices depending on the weight of the bread :)

    Totally inspired me to join a class. You made it sound so doable, and for people like me, who like to go somewhere with at least a bit of info about what I'm going to commit too first, this page is perfect. Thanks! (my mum has been trying to get me to go for months, she is 4lbs off her target weight and looks amazing) WISH ME LUCK XX
    1. Cliona

      22/01/2018 at 9:44 pm

      This is amazing! I'm so glad I've inspired you to go! It was a similar thing with me, my mum was trying to encourage me to go but it took me ages to decide to actually do it! Piece of advice...stock up on some things that you know are within the plan (lean meats, veggies, wholemeal bread etc...) because you'll want to get started when you get home and there's nothing worse than realising you've got to wait another day! Good luck!

    Hi when I mixed the yogurt with remaining jelly it went lumpy didn’t set very well
    1. Cliona

      22/01/2018 at 10:44 pm

      Hi Karen, did you do this when the jelly was still hot or did you let it cool first? Sometimes the hot to cold can make it go lumpy.
  • Liz

    Hi Cliona thanks for all the great recipes. Do you have any ideas for crisps? They are my weakness!
    1. Cliona

      29/01/2018 at 11:17 am

      Hi Gillian, you're welcome! Glad you like them! You can make homemade crisps, however technically you'd have to syn them as a 'tweak' and some people find that they impact their weight loss. I've always snacked on protein foods, like boiled eggs, ham and chicken, but I know that's not everyone's taste!
  • Nicola Morris

    28/01/2018 at 3:38 pm

    I want to do this for a dinner party but don't want to be whisking eggs in my kitchen diner with the guests at the table, can these be re-heated? or can I make up the batter ahead of time? Need an answer before next Saturday 3rd Feb please.
    1. Cliona

      29/01/2018 at 11:16 am

      Hi Nicola, they can't be reheated I'm afraid but you could definitely make the mixture beforehand and just pour and cook before your guests eat. Please remember to dust the inside of the mould with cocoa powder or drinking chocolate (which will make it a bit sweeter!) as otherwise you'll really struggle to get it out of the mould and that would be a disaster when you have guests there. Also, they're pretty rich so double check with your guests if they prefer something a bit sweeter, at which point you could add more sweetner or swap one tablespoon of cocoa to drinking chocolate. This would impact the syns but it's always worth checking with your guests! Enoy!

    Sorry if I appear to be taking over this thread, and correct me if I am wrong, but either it should read 6 teaspoons of cocoa for 6 syns or if the 6 tablespoons is correct then we are looking at 15 Syns for the cocoa.
    1. Cliona

      29/01/2018 at 11:38 pm

      Hi Nicola, don't worry! Unbranded cocoa powder is 1.5 syns per tablespoon. If you're using a specific brand however you'll need to double check the syns. ?
      1. Nicola Morris

        30/01/2018 at 1:50 am

        I just rechecked the SW website Syns list and unbranded is 2.5 syns per tablespoon but Morrisons is 1.5 so even if you specified Morrisons own brand it would still be 9 syns for the cocoa

    Made these and they lasted 2 minutes in my house. Very yummy. However, showed the recipe to my slimming world group and due to the sweetener now needing to be syned in cooking, they have advised that, to protect weight loss they should be syned at 4 per slice. Still super low for how they taste though and will be making them again ( this time I'll hide them though )

    21/02/2018 at 10:17 am

    Hi I know this is a old post but I’m really hoping for some advice I’m sticking to plan 100%!! and I’m maintaining every week I was losing 1lb or 2lb even 3lb and the beginning and I haven’t changed anything I tried having less syns one week under ten that didn’t work I’m really trying hard and I don’t know what to do from here it’s so upsetting esp when I see other people losing my typical meals are yoghurt or cereal bar for breakfast lunch jacket beans salad or beans on toast dinner chilli spag Bol that kind of thing or roast with lots of veg I eat the same kind of meals every week and if I got out I will have a nandos which never has affected my loss when I was losing I drink a pint of water with every meal please help!!
    1. Cliona

      12/03/2018 at 6:48 pm

      Hi Fee, I feel your pain I do! Just remember that people lose weight at different rates and you shouldn't compare yourself to other people. Make sure to have your syns, as they're built into the plan for a reason! Your body needs all of the different food groups to lose weight properly so avoiding syns isn't the answer. Also make sure you're having your healthy extras and don't forget that a third of your plate should be speed and a third should be protein at every meal. When struggling I'd make sure that you're going back to basics and sticking to the plan completely. Try doing a food diary where you track every little thing and then you can identify where you might be going wrong by accident! Good luck!

    Hi, I to did Red & Green days and found it good but would like to try Extra easy BUT I cannot get my head around you can eat most things but only 1 piece of bread BUT you can eat 2 and call it a syn? Is that right.
    1. Cliona

      12/03/2018 at 6:45 pm

      Hi Susan, you can have 60g of any wholemeal bread for your healthy extra B. This could be one, two or even three slices of bread depending on the loaf. As a general rule of thumb however, it's one slice from a full sized loaf and two from a small loaf. If you have any more on top of that then you'd need to count the syns for the additional bread. Hope that helps!

    1. Cliona

      12/03/2018 at 6:43 pm

      Hi Jan, that's odd. What kind of tins were you using? There's no reason they should stick, just as an egg wouldn't stick on a non-stick pan normally, so I can't imagine why. I use silicone tins sometimes to make them easy to slide out, but they should work in either kind.

    Hi Cliona, This sounds lovely. Planning on trying this on the weekend. For the yoghurt, can you advise how many grams should be used please?

    Hi, Has anyone tried this no egg yet? I’ve made it once and it was lovely. Wanting to alter the spice etc so my boys can eat it bit my eldest is also highly allergic to eggs (anaphylaxis) so don’t know how it would be without? Thought maybe doubling amount of grated cheese to help thicken the sauce a bit more? Thanks in advance x
    1. Cliona

      12/03/2018 at 6:39 pm

      Hi Kirsten, the sauce as it is wouldn't work without egg, as that's what makes it creamy. I'd suggest instead that you substitute the sauce for a cream cheese or similar kind of product so that you still get that creamy element. Hope that helps!

    Where the heck are "Special K Chewy Delight Bars " or any other "extraB" bars, which are loaded with nothing but shit, syn free? Since when are low fat products (processed foods) syn free? Icing sugar + Gelatin (made of animal fats) syn free? This is wrong education at it's finest. If you want a real syn free cake you take avocados, honey/maple syrup and cocoa powder/dark chocolate +nuts and oats and other RAW INGREDIENTS but not bars from Kelloggs, one of the worst brands on this planet
    1. Cliona

      23/05/2018 at 11:01 am

      Hi Patrick, thank you for your comment. I would urge you to look more closely at this site, as many of these recipes are geared specifically towards people following the Slimming World plan. I think you are confusing the term 'syn', which is specific to Slimming World, with the concept of 'clean eating' which this site doesn't pretend to be.

    Thanks so much for stepping outside the 'stiff peaks' camp! I used your recipe subbing Clover light for Flora, and 75g Muller coconut and vanilla Greek style for Trimbake. And a little extra cocoa powder. Moist with a flaky top. Used easter egg moulds for a chocolate egg look. YUM and thanks!!!!

  • Jeanette

    08/04/2018 at 11:08 am

    I’ve found you in the nick of time! I have done ww & sw a number of times each time I’d loose about 2 & 1/2 stones tten hit a brick wall, change my exercise etc to switch it up but would just be stuck. A few yrs have passed, I needed open heart surg ( out of the blue, nothing to do with my weight ironically tho probs brought surg forward). While in hosp, to have surg safely I had to loose 6 1/2 stone asap, so much to dietitians unease. Cardiologist put me on600cal daily diet ( 3 x 200ml shakes) and tbh it was my only way & let’s face it I was ill & had no appetite anyhow. Then I’d have 2 shakes so 409 cal & 200 cal prepped meal from home. Low carb high protein was pref. So I did it in less than 4 mths had surg & kept it off for 4 yrs tho now I’ve probs put a stone on, can’t abide fried foods for some reason or choc but savoury is my downfall. I blame my husband for getting a new toaster! Bread! With butter! When you look at me 16 & 1/2 stone you’d think I stuff my fave but no I’m doing it all wrong, I’m not a breakfast person, never was and sometimes don’t even have lunch and I’d have smaller than average portions- I’m a slow eater, mindful eater. I used to struggle to eat the amount on sw, just so much of it! And now I’m basically immobile, I can tootle around the house with my stick but if I’m out I need a mobility scooter or wheelchair. My daughter has booked a cruise which is in about 35 days and I dare not try to see if my sumner clothes still fit! I think I need the Sp plan to get me going.

    1. Cliona

      23/05/2018 at 10:57 am

      Hi Claire, this is likely because the first layer set too much before you poured the second layer on. You need to add it when it has just begun to set, so that it differentiates but doesn't become two separate layers. Hope it works better next time!
  • Cassie

    Hi Cliona, Thank you for sharing your experience I was 4lbs from target (3stone 4lbs loss) and after gaining 2.5lbs last week I am ready to give up. I've been doing this for over 90 weeks. I lost weight to get married then became pregnant with my gorgeous boy and then have lost the above weight. My husband and I are fussy eaters so our menu is quite limited and I am fed up of making everything from scratch. I have lost the ability to say no to bad foods too. My colleague asked what I'm going to do when I get pregnant again and I don't know if it's psychologically made me give in. I keep going to group but keep wanting to give up. X
    1. Cliona

      23/05/2018 at 10:56 am

      HI Cassie, sorry for taking so long to get back to you! I'm really glad you found this post useful. I totally sympathise with you, I make a lot of bad food choices too and find it incredibly difficult to say no to bad food! You can do it, I'm sure of it! Don't get put off by what might happen in the future and focus on your here and now, that way you can take one day at a time for your weight loss. In terms of making everything from scratch, have you thought about making a big batch of certain foods that can be combined quickly and easily together to make different meals? For example, rice, chicken, veggies etc... all meal prepped and ready to cook up quickly together?

    Hi Cliona What a very useful guide to SW you’ve provided. Been a member twice over the last 20+ years and follow the plan loosely most of the time. Always struggle with the last 6lbs though... I’m inspired enough to use your advice and get to my target ie none dimply thighs for summer! Will also share with my family. My men wouldn’t join a group even if I asked them but your simple explanation may back up my efforts in the kitchen. Thanks for being so unselfish as to share a succinct précis of the SW way. Expect a call from Margaret as you’d make an awe inspiring speaker.... just sayin x

      23/05/2018 at 10:48 am

      Hi Sylvia, funnily enough, I hate nuts too! The brilliant thing about this recipe is that the nuts are super ground down and you wouldn't even know that they're there. As long as she's not allergic I would maybe try with them in! If not though, you could simply up the amount of oats used :)

    Hi there. I'm so confused. Is extra easy option different to sp days? I have discovered some frozen food in Iceland which can help me out alot. So if I have these am doing easy extra optimising or sp days? Sorry for my lack of knowledge but I have found it difficult to understand. Shaz
    1. Cliona

      31/07/2018 at 1:07 pm

      Hi Shainaz, yes they are different. SP is an accelerated version of the normal Easy Extra Plan which will possibly speed up your weight loss. In terms of the Iceland meals, some will be marked as suitable for SP and some won't :)

  • Kim Chrissie

    22/07/2018 at 6:21 pm

    Malt is made from barley, which contains gluten. Barley enzymes, which are often used, make rice syrup that is not gluten free. However, if fungal enzymes are used, then the rice syrup is gluten free. ... Some companies note the use of barley or barley malt in their rice syrup, but the allergen labeling law does not require them to. So beware, if you have celiac disease, this is not a gluten-free recipe. If you are not gluten-sensitive or do not have celiac disease, this recipe would be fine as is. Otherwise, substitute with a gluten-free sweetener.

    I stumbled across this recipe this morning & decided to make it for my lunch as I adore macaroni cheese but I am dieting! I must admit that at times it didn't look particularly appetising & I feared another tasteless low fat lunch! How wrong was I, it was absolutely delicious & so easy to throw together. Will be eating this regularly on my Slimming World journey. So grateful that I found this recipe & looking forward to trying more.

    Hi cliona Read your blog all about wait loss and rheynwaynot forgive yourself, all my clothes are so tight at the moment and although I just want to get intonmymslimmingworld again but just really can't t get motivated, I have asked for your menu a couple of times but nothing has come through. I feel really in happy so any encouragement will help soo much, can't seem to get myself back to a class and seem to tell myself I can do it on my own but then I don't,,,,,HELP
    1. Cliona

      03/09/2018 at 10:12 am

      Hi Sally, thanks for reaching out! I can tell you now that I totally relate to what you're saying! I've struggled for some time with my motivation and it sucks big time....but trust me you can do it! Remember that you are worth so much more than feeling awful about yourself or your decisions and you deserve to feel positive and happy. Feeling happy should not come from your weight, but what will make all the difference is feeling in control. The minute you give yourself back control of your life you will automatically start to feel more powerful and that in turn will help you stick to plan and the weight loss will follow. Here is the link to my meal plan: https://basementbakehouse.com/2017/12/seven-day-slimming-world-meal-plan-3/ If you don't want to go back to class, be your own support instead. Schedule in your weekly weigh and follow it up with an hour of meal planning, recipe inspiration and self motivation. Carving out an hour or so to focus on you and be positive about your weight loss journey will be the first step in getting yourself back on track! Good luck!

    what a fabulous idea, I always roast vegetables but never made a quiche like this. I need to make this for Thanksgiving!
  • Helen of Fuss Free Flavours

    This sounds great - but I don’t know what Fry Light is - any idea what would be comparable in US? Or could we actually just put on a grill?
    1. Cliona

      22/10/2018 at 4:10 pm

      You could definitely do these on the grill! I'm not sure of any comparable brands but if you have any spray oils that are low calorie that's what you're looking for!

    Crustless quiche sounds like a great idea, so much less hassle! It's so full of veg too, I bet it makes delicious leftovers for the next day.

    17/10/2018 at 8:34 pm

    Hiya, do you have to use egg? I’m not a fan and wondered if there is an alternative. Thanks.
    1. Cliona

      22/10/2018 at 4:10 pm

      I do, I'm not entirely sure what you would use instead to be honest. It might be worth looking for egg alternatives online?
  • Hannah

    20/10/2018 at 7:34 am

    Hi! Thank you, that was so useful. I have been on the plan and gaining! So disheartening:( My usual red day consists of 2 eggs in fry light on 2 ryvitas, lunch tuna salad, carrot, egg, lime, activist fat free yoghurt, apple, tea - fish, chick peas, spinach, tomatoes, mushroom, little cous cous. My green day is eggs, beans, pasta, beans, cheese, jacket, quorn sausage, spaghetti etc, fat free yoghurt. Drinking tea and water. At weekend have a glass of wine or two. Weight is going up:( Please help! Thanks xx
    1. Cliona

      22/10/2018 at 4:12 pm

      Don't get disheartened! I didn't do the plan when they still had red days and green days, but it might be that your body needs a bit of a reboot? Have you considered switching to the Easy Extra plan for a change? Sometimes that's all you need to kick start things again!

  • Jacqueline Debono

    30/10/2018 at 1:42 pm

    I love goat cheese and it's very popular here in Italy! But like you were, I'm a little wary of goats milk and yogurt because I'm worried it will taste too cheesy. Having read this great post, I'm ready to try the milk and yogurt now!
  • Pam

    30/10/2018 at 1:53 pm

    Very educational post and you got me thinking. I have been having some digestion issues myself recently and I think I'll give goat dairy products a try.
  • Traci

    30/10/2018 at 1:53 pm

      One slice is one portion and it makes 8 slices.
  • Claire

    01/11/2018 at 1:36 pm

    Made this today came out fab. When I tasted it, it seemed salty ( no idea why) ! I stuck to all the ingredients x
    1. Cliona

      02/11/2018 at 4:27 pm

      Hi Claire, that's very odd. None of the ingredients are salty, so I can only imagine that maybe some salt has migrated its way into your sweetener, or maybe that the oats somehow have salt in? Otherwise I really can't imagine why! I'm very glad it came out well anyway, maybe put a big dollop of sweetened yogurt on if its a little salty for some reason?
  • Katie

    02/11/2018 at 5:20 pm

    This recipe looks so delicious! I love the lemon and blueberry combination- so fresh andbright. And the use of yogurt keeps the cake nice and moist I'm sure. Yum!
  • Adriana Lopez Martin

    I can't seem to get enough or make enough soups lately. I'm constantly craving them, and this recipe is calling to me. Loving all of those hearty chunks in there. Now all I need is a nice toasted slice of bread. Perfect.
  • Ellen

    01/12/2018 at 11:57 am

    Wish I'd had this soup last week when it was in the 40's. Heading back to the 80's but will tuck away for our next cold spell. It looks delicious.

  • Carole Gronow

    05/12/2018 at 7:08 pm

    I made this for tasting session at SW today and followed all the instructions to the letter but it was very flat - didn’t rise at all. It was the thickness of a biscuit but it did taste okay and members did eat it. Ironically someone else had also made it and it looked identical to mine. What did we do wrong? Please - how do you get it to rise?
    1. Cliona

      05/12/2018 at 10:22 pm

      Hi Carole, that's very strange! Did you use the self raising flour and the baking soda? I can't imagine why else it would have been flat!
    2. Sue

      18/12/2018 at 6:31 pm

      I had the same experience - flat. However, after reading these comments I substituted bicarbonate of soda for the Baking powder and it worked!

    Looks so yummy, tempted to make these but im not a fan of dates, what could I use instead of that?
    1. Cliona

      16/12/2018 at 2:23 pm

      You can't really taste the dates at all my dear! They're more there to stick it all together :)

    I love orange chicken and this version looks delicious. You are right that it's so much healthier making these recipes at home than heading down to the local Chinese takeaway!
  • Kathi

    Agree that take out orange chicken is way too many calories for this chub-o! But this looks delicious and healthy! Pinned.

    I know what you mean, I'm not really one for eating a plain green salad (at least not unless it's with a really good main!). Asian salads are definitely a great option with so much flavor and crunch. This looks and sounds like a tasty meal.

    So do you take off the skins before you glaze? Otherwise I guess all the glaze would come off when you remove the skin?
    1. Cliona

      16/01/2019 at 8:40 pm

      If you want to make them syn free then yes :) or you can leave the skins on and count the syns for them!

    What a great recipe for a late lunch!! Expanded with a choice of veg., and it's a dinner meal, too. I have to try this! I'll be generous and use the mould to make a filo liner, too, so that I can kick the traces and have a few sins........

    When do you add the lemon juice? 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time and partner just asked when does it get added hahaha whoopsie
    1. Cliona

      21/01/2019 at 8:04 pm

      Oh dear! My bad! It goes in with the coconut milk and passata but you can add it in now if you want. It shouldn't make too much difference, although it's helpful for the flavour!Sorry about that!
      1. Thomas

        22/01/2019 at 5:27 pm

        Thanks. We popped it in at the end. It was lovely. We’re cooking it again tonight to use up the rest of the lemon! Any excuse. It was really tasty. Great recipe. Well done and thanks for sharing it.

    Thanks for this recipe, it looks great but do you know if I can swap the cheese for more quark or thick yogurt? The only cheese I can handle is quark as I don’t like cheese. Thank you x

    Hi, I don’t have any black treacle... would this work without? Also would vegetable oil work instead of sunflower oil? (Don’t really fancy a trip to the supermarket for two items I don’t normally use) ?
    1. Cliona

      11/07/2019 at 7:08 pm

      It would work but you wouldn't get so much of that gingerbread taste from it is all! Also I believe that vegetable oil is different syn value to sunflower oil!

  • Larissa

    I love this recipe but I have one question. Is it not 40g of oats as a Healthy extra B choice? You've stated 240g is 4x B choices but actually it's 6x, which would adjust the syn value of each piece if you still cut it into 8.
    1. Cliona

      Hi Larissa, I'm so glad you like the recipe! You're totally right! So these would actually be lower syn. My mistake!

    1. Cliona

      04/10/2019 at 7:58 am

      Hi Julie, I would definitely let the sauce cool down before freezing. You can also keep the sauce chilled. I can't give you an exact fridge life for the sauce but I've kept it in the fridge for up to a week before and used it still. Hope that helps!

    Kind of wish you had mentioned that they're 7.5 syns if not in the healthy b . As I already had my b today and calculated how many I can have as it said 1.5 syns and now I have had 4 . Other then that they are really nice. Just kind of wished that was mentioned at the top

      04/10/2019 at 7:57 am

    Made this cake today to take to a garden party and it was an absolute hit. Not a huge fan of sweetener, so I replaced the 5tbsp with 3tbsp of Honey instead, though I know I’ll need to adjust the syns per serving accordingly. This is definitely now my go-to Carrot Cake recipe.

Have to say though didn't use BBQ seasoning used 2 tblsp of honey BBQ sauce. Chicken took longer on gas mark 6 but they were large breast fillets (that's where the instant read thermometer comes in handy). Thank you very much will defo make this time and time again. x

    I have tried this 3 times but the jelly won’t set. It appears cloudy, and turns to mush. Not sure if I’m not stirring long enough. I find the powder jelly and gelatine goes very lumpy also. Please could you advise? Ps, I use vegetarian gelatine.

      04/10/2019 at 7:55 am

      Hi there, Sorry to hear that this isn't working for you. Unfortunately, I've never used vegetarian gelatine and I, therefore, can't confirm that the recipe will work using it. It may be that you need to adjust the amount of gelatin according to the change.

      18/11/2019 at 1:37 pm

      Hi Nicole, I'm so glad you like it! I'd add some time on to the cooking length but can't advise exactly how much. Maybe try 10 minutes extra and then check to see if they're cooked through. It might take some trial end error to find the perfect length of time in the oven though, so checking as they bake is the best option. Enjoy!

      Hi Rob, my recipes are written using the syn information that was correct at the time of writing but syn values should always be checked when making a recipe. Since writing this the syn information has changed and therefore the total syn value of this is now higher if you choose to syn smash based on the new Slimming World rules.

    Hi, I'm leaving a comment again as my first one hasn't come through it seems from a few wks ago. Thank you for the recipe. I wanted to ask, would you say these are dunkable? I'm really missing dunking hobnobs & digestives! The healthier biscuit/cookie recipes I've tried have all been too soft. Hope you can help!
    1. Cliona

      16/02/2020 at 10:22 pm

      I would say that these were on the softer side too. The kind you're describing are usually made with lots of butter and sugar which makes them automatically less healthy.

      Hi Naz, it is except you would need to use vegetarian gelatin which I haven't done myself. Because I haven't tried it I can't advise on how you would swap between the two but I'm sure there are handy guides out online to help. Let me know if you do!

    Loved being able to make this cake although I couldn’t taste the sweetener at all so I added an extra tbsp of syrup and 6 tbsp of sweetener instead of 2 and it was gorgeous! ? makes it 3 syns instead of 2.5 if you still cut it into 10 pieces but I went for 6 slices and counted it as 5 syns a slice (30 for the whole cake). Thanks so much for the recipe!!

    1. Cliona

      17/06/2020 at 4:53 pm

      Hi Angela, thank you for your comment and I'm very glad you like my content. Regarding your complaint about the ads, I hope you can understand that I create totally free content and recipes for people. I don't put them behind a paywall and I don't create any restrictions for people to enjoy them easily at home. However, it costs money to run a website like this, before you even factor in the ingredient costs and my time for making, photographing, videoing, editing and writing recipes and therefore I deserve to be compensated for all of that expense. The way I do this is by hosting on-site adverts on the website, which not only cover those costs but allow me to pay my mortgage, bills and other life expenses. If you do not want to use the site because of the adverts then that is absolutely your right and I encourage you to purchase one of the many recipe books out there instead of using free content online. Thank you again for your comment and feedback, it is definitely noted and appreciated, I hope this explanation helps clarify for you.

    Hi, I've been loosing 1.5lbs a week and wanted to try and increase it and was thinking where have I been going wrong? Can you please advise if you need to have the full amount of HEA & HEB daily? I don't think I have been... Thx
    1. Cliona

      12/07/2020 at 7:58 pm

      First off, well done on that weight loss! That is a really good consistent amount of weight to be losing. If you aim to lose between 1 and 2 pounds per week that is maintainable whereas a larger amount might mean more drastic changes and be harder to keep up. That being said, you could try and up your exercise and drink more water as both of those things help a lot! Make sure you have your full HexA and B and use at least five syns per day too. Hope that helps!

    I think the oven set at 180 degrees can’t be Fahrenheit which is why some are not cooked thoroughly. It would be helpful to specify that in the recipe. It’s probably close to around 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

      I think it would work for sure, but it will affect the taste somewhat. I'd love to know how it goes if you try it! Also, if you'd prefer a more smooth consistency then I'd definitely suggest blending the sauce. Enjoy!
  • I was wondering the same thing.

    Really love this recipe. The creme fraiche curdled so ended up putting the sauce through the blender. No idea where the Worcester sauce and lemon were supposed to be used so didn't add it. Despite that the dish was amazing.

    Hi there, looking for something to nibble that are low syn so these sound perfect. I don’t use sweeteners as I hate the flavour that it gives . Have you ever used honey as an alternative to the sweetener of banana for example?
    1. Cliona

      14/05/2021 at 9:22 pm

      You could definitely use honey instead, if you are following Slimming World you would just need to account for it in the syns.

    Really great Tomato Soup Recipe, Thank you. I used a teaspoon and a half of garlic granules, as I didn't have fresh garlic on me. Turned out fine! Maybe only needed 1 teaspoon, as garlic granules are quite strong. I also added in a couple of teaspoons of tomato puree, just to give it a richer tomato taste. Any sides you'd recommend to have instead of bread? I had a thick slice of sourdough with it which was very nice, but not very diet friendly of course!

    Hi Guys, Just made this tonight for tea halved the recipe just in case it was not a hit. It would have made 3 portions but my husband wanted seconds and he scrapped the pan clean. This does not happen often. So easy to make and so yummy and from items that are a staple in my home. This is going to be saved in my favourites and best ever it was syn free. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe.

    I make this on a regular basis, and my husband loves it!! Though last night I found that I had run out of BBQ Seasoning, so a quick think and I used Moroccan Seasoning instead. Equally yummy. And half the sauce has gone into the freezer for the next time. An easy, quick, tasty and versatile recipe. Yum!!

Would you have any knowledge of a group that would be easy to understand as far as meal prepping? Thank you in advance and thank you for all your information!
