Thread for easy quick SW Meal Ideas?

[PartyFops]

This is perhaps rather cheaky of me to start this thread .

However, I was hoping it could help others too. I am starting my new years diet this week and am hoping for peoples help and advice to make easy quick meals and recipes that can help me with weight loss.

I have no self control at all! I need as much help as I can get to plan meals, I shop online so can plan my shopping well. I often don't get home until 6pm at which point I then need to bath and bed my 2 year old DD. At this point I really really dont fancy starting a new recipe.

Any ideas please? I am hoping to get together a list of about 20/30 meals that I can use.

I will start with the following.

Ham, eggs SW chips and beans.
Beans on Brown toast.

Spaghetti bolaignaise
Chilli and rice

• both served with a third of a plate of salad for super free and made in batches on the slow cooker to just warm through.

your meals dont show any superfree with them. things like veggie or minestrone soup can be loaded with veg. with your ham egg and chips have a salad with it. try mushrooms with your beans on toast.

ive found hsving a drawer of the freezer full of chopped peppers, frozen broccoli, carrots, diced onion etc so helpful as I can just add a handful to my food to add superfree.
also consider quorn. it cooks quicker than meat and I find its cheaper if you only want a small quantity

Pasta or rice dishes can be really quick and easy. I do:

Linguine pasta cooked and chuck in plenty of courgettes sliced into ribbons for the last few minutes of cooking. While the pasta cooks cook some fresh garlic in half a carton of passata and reduce slightly, stir into the cooked pasta/courgette.

Pasta sauce made from peppers, garlic, cooked chicken, passata and chilli.

Chinese fried rice: loads of veg (peppers, peas, sweetcorn, onions, carrots, mushrooms etc. stir fried with cooked rice, garlic and ginger. Towards the end of cooking add a couple of beaten eggs and soy sauce to taste. You can also add cooked chicken and/or prawns if you like.

Prawn noodle soup

In fry light, stir fry

• 1 leek sliced
• 2 sping onions sliced
• 1 chilli
• small piece of grated ginger
• small clove of grated garlic. (Can stop here and freeze in batches)

• add small handful of frozen prawns
• one oxo cube
• half pint of boiling water
• crumble in some fine egg noodles add heat until noodles are cooked

Thank you for the ideas, I been on the SW website and got some ideas.

I am going to do some batch cooking, i am going to make the Beef bourginon, chicken curry and Lemon and garic chicken. I'm planning on doubling up the recipe and shoving loads in the freezer.

The problem I have is that although generally I am a perfectly intelligent human being I can't seem to get my head around SW! However, I know I like the SW recipes as they are filling and I don't have to think about points all day. So, I generaly just try and eat healthily and use SW recipes to help out.

I have also just downloaded Davina McCalls 15 minute work out DVD!!!!

Veggie chilli
Jacket spud, baked beans, cottage cheese, salad
Sausage (quorn) and mash (milk from HEX list, No butter)
Baked tortilla (eggs, boiled spuds, veg)

Hi Party,

Here's my Extra Easy slimming world explanation. ...

Each day meals are made up of:

• Superfree food - most none starchy fruit and veg (onions, carrots, apples, pears) At least One third of each meal should be from this section.

• Free food - other veg (potato, beans, sweetcorn), lean meat, eggs, pasta, rice, couscous. Most of the rest of the meal should cone from here.

Plus in the course of the day...
1 x healthy extra a for calcium (milk, cheese...)
1 x healthy extra b for fibre (bread, oats...)
10-15 syns (oil, mayo, sausages, pate, cheese and bread above allowance, chocolate, wine...)

There are different allowances if pregnant/breastfeeding and other more complex plans (e.g. superspeeding and success express) but I would leave them until you're confident with tge basics.

Here's how I'm working it today

breakfast

• fruit salad (superfree)
• yoghurt (free)
• tea (free) + milk (from allowance)

Mid morning

• tea and milk

Lunch

• prawn noodle soup (recipe above)

• leeks and spring onion (superfree)
• prawns, noodles, oxo and spices (free)

mid afternoon

• toast (healthy extra) + butter (syns)
• tea and milk

dinner

• steak (free)
• sw chips (free)
• grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, and side salad (Superfree)
• wine (syns)
