OK, you're going to need to bear with me on this one because I absolutely know that a Slimming World Meatzza (which is essentially a pizza with a meat base rather than the usual dough base) doesn't necessarily sound the most appetizing meal in the world. Stay with me though because I made this last weekend and honestly, it was a huge success and even the kids enjoyed it which means it's a great family meal and not just a Slimming World meal. I add in lots of veggies to the base and as for the topping, that can be pretty much anything you want it to be just like a normal … [Read more...]
Slimming World Pizza Chips….
Slimming World Pizza Chips are literally life-changing if you're on Slimming World and you like a cheeky treat like me!This recipe is pretty vague for a couple of reasons - the main one being that no-one likes the same flavour pizza! The beauty of this amazing meal is that you can use whatever you fancy as a topping for your 'pizza'. Even pineapple, if you're that way inclined. ;-)Another reason, I'm not going to be specific is that this is a great way to use up your leftovers. Mine had some leftover shredded chicken, the last of the gammon from the day before and … [Read more...]
This Week’s Slimming World Meal Plan {6th January 2020}….
So here's the thing... Every January for the past three years, I've joined Slimming World and lost around a stone each time.I've been having a think about why I never seem to stick to it for longer than it takes me to lose a stone because I really want this January to be different and I've realised that I absolutely have a pattern.I get to the point where I'm a stone down and I'm starting to be able to see a difference in myself and feel good but I find excuses why I need a weekend or a week off of watching what I eat. Last year it was New York with the kids, the year before I was … [Read more...]
Homemade Nandos spicy rice recipe….
This homemade Nandos spicy rice recipe is my secret to recreating a Nandos style fakeaway meal at home for a fraction of the price!With an ever-improving-but-still-fussy-eater like Master Frugal to think about, eating out can sometimes be a bit of a challenge but one place he does love is Nandos. Since the first time we visited as a pre-cinema treat, Nandos has been his favourite place to eat and rather surprisingly, the Nandos spicy rice is his favourite dish on the menu.We enjoy going as a treat but don't go regularly because it can work our quite costly for the four of us … [Read more...]
#MealPlanningMonday – Fridge bottom gnocchi. ….
After the success of last week's #MealPlanningMonday post which featured my recipe for sausage and pesto pasta bake, I thought I'd share another quick and easy recipe with you along with this week's meals - fridge bottom gnocchi.Before I share the recipe (if you can call it that), let's go through the meal plan itself...Monday - Fridge bottom gnocchi is my new favourite meal but I won't go into too much detail here as you'll read more below. Tuesday - We haven't had tuna pasta bake in so long so I thought I'd have a go at teaching Miss Frugal to make it … [Read more...]
#MealPlanningMonday – Sausage and Pesto Pasta Bake….
For this week's #MealPlanningMonday, I thought I'd not only share our week's meals with you but also one of the meals we'll be having - Sausage and Pesto Pasta Bake.First up, let's go through the meal plan itself...Monday - I got a couple of packets of reduced price Heck chicken sausages last week (£1.42 per pack) and used one to make Sausage and Pesto Pasta which is what I'm making again tonight. It was so tasty that I couldn't wait to use the second pack of sausages to make it again. See below for the recipe. Tuesday - Chicken Shwarma with salad and … [Read more...]
