It’s a hearty,
warm meal that fills me up, doesn’t feel especially ‘diet-y’ and won’t sabotage
my hard work.

As anyone that regularly
reads my blog knows, one of my aims is to have food that doesn’t make me feel
like I’m dieting, missing out or giving up things I love. For me, losing weight is a challenge that I
have to focus on every single day and it is a whole new way of life. I can’t eat and drink what I want, I have to
watch everything and will always have to, so sharing meals with people not on a
diet and having them enjoy it is really important to me.
For anyone on
Slimming World with me this recipe is syn free apart from a tiny amount of low
fat spread in the mash. I used ‘I can’t
believe it’s not Butter’ and for the whole lot added about 3 tsp which is 3
syns. These ingredients made 6 portions
so that’s ½ a syn per portion. The
cheese on the top was my healthy A for the day so for me that’s more than
acceptable plus my non-SW friends loved it.
Double bonus.

| Diet Shepherd's Pie |
I don't freeze Shepherd's Pie because I don't like the way mash defrosts, it seems runny to me but I do batch cook the mince and freeze that ready for a potato topping. My American friends tried this and used little croquettes cut upp on teh top and although it sounds amazing I'm not advocating that version as it most certainly is not a diet one!!!
