Turkish Delight – 1 syn for 10!

I LOVE Turkish Delight and was missing their chocolate-y goodness the other day so I decided to make a version of my fake Haribos that would do the trick. 

Slimming World friendly, low syn Turkish Delights

 

They’re really good, and 10 is only 1 syn so definitely much better if you’re on plan and will help with the chocolate cravings.  I often make a bowl full to nibble on when it’s movie time

Syn free chicken adobo

Having eaten Slimming World friendly food for years now I sometimes find myself in a totally boring cycle of the same stuff, so when I found this Asian inspired meal with a combination of flavours I’ve never tried I adjusted it to be SW friendly and gave it a go.

The result was a deeply flavourful, easy to make slower cooker meal which comes in at one syn for all.  That’s in the optional teaspoon of honey in the sauce so, as I did not eat all 12 pieces and all the sauce I discounted and went with syn free as it would be 1 syn for all the sauce and none for the chicken…negligible

I’d really recommend giving it a try.  No marinating and something different for dinner.  

Obviously SW suggest you have speed food with every meal and this contains one.  If you would like to add a side of stir fried veggies that would be perfect, in this instance I was true to the original dish and went without.

Greek Inspired Dinner

My parents recently came over for a visit which is always great as it challenges me to put together something a little different for our meal. 

Same issues as most of us have, everyone has different tastes and requirements; I eat Slimming World friendly food, my Mum is a vegetarian (who occasionally has a bacon butty and chicken!!) and Dad loves lamb but doesn’t have it at home as Mum hates the smell.

Challenge accepted!

Slimming World friendly Greek inspired meal

Ignore the fact that this is all shoved on the side in the kitchen, the weather was beautiful and we had a party outside in the garden but for my Greek inspired dinner I served these dishes, links to the recipes are added in case you want to try anything:

Shop bought low fat hummous

Greek inspired wild rice salad

Halloumi fries

Doner kebab

Seekh kebabs

Chicken skewers (no they are not Greek, but I added oregano and lemon and winged it!!!)

Needless to say, it was all really well received and we all enjoyed different parts of the dinner.  

More than anything I just want to share that you can have beautiful food that tastes great as well as caters for all different food requirements whist still eating healthily

Enjoy!
