What are your favourite Slimming World recipes?

[TuttiFrutti]

My dh joined SW a few weeks ago and I am trying to cook our evening meals from their recipes, but family-friendly stuff that everyone will eat. So far:

spag bol - very good, have made several times
cottage pie - good
macaroni cheese - disgusting
chicken korma - not great, but may have been the type of korma powder I used, will have another go
couscous with peppers, courgettes and feta - nice
omelette with mushrooms and ham - good (but hardly a recipe as such)

Anyone got any other ideas?

I love the Chicken Jambalaya and Spanish Chicken, which I have with rice. The pulled pork is amazing too!

I love he sweet chilli chicken, although I use less Harissa powder than it says (about half the amount) otherwise it is overpowering. It's so lush with rice and spinach, say. And also lovely leftovers go well with a salad for work lunches.

I love the jambalaya too. Slimming world chips with homemade burger is gorgeous. The hot pot is a favourite here as is the tikka masala

Google 'The Slimming Foodie'. She has lots of amazing recipes that are for foodies doing Slimming World. I love it!

Thanks for all your recommendations - I will try the chicken jambalaya this week. I love the idea of SW chips and homemade burger - thanks pieceofpurplesky, I will investigate that one!

Will also check out the Slimming Foodie recipes. I need more ideas!

Jambalaya is lovely. The SW nacho feast is a firm favourite in our house. I use a lasagne recipe from the philli website using Philly lightest as my hea.

Chicken jalfrezi is fab, and there's a new one from King Pao chicken which we love! There's a prawn special fried rice recipe which is amaze!

Oh and the she cooks she eats website has the best hunters chicken recipe. And her others are delicious !!

We love ( this includes kids too) fish and wedges with pea guacamole a la SW, Singapore noodles, meatballs in tomato sauce but by far the favorite at the momen tis diet coke chicken.

Carbonara and chilli con carne are favourites here.

I use a Philadelphia carbonara recipe so get the lightest one and syn it or use it as your healthy extra. Cook some mushrooms and bacon and then mix a spoon of Philly, some vegetable stock and an egg yolk in with it -delicious! The stock makes most of the sauce so you don't need much cheese at all.

Chilli con carne is beef mince and any speed veg + cayenne pepper, paprika, cumin & coriander. The slimming world recipe says to use chillis but I find its too hot for us so I leave them out.

I put so much veg into the sauce (extra onions, mushrooms, grated carrots, peppers) that a pack of mince will do us 2 meals now instead of one so we tend to have spaghetti bolognese and chilli con carne in the same week.

Will check out that blog!

Forgot to say, plus a carton of passata for the chilli!

Have a look at Slimming Eats, some amazing recipes. The only curry I ever make now is her chicken, sweet potato and red lentil, the whole family love it so much they would eat it for breakfast !

Oh yes slimming eats is one of my go to sites too.

Wow I love the Slimming Eats blog! Thank you so much for the recommendations.

Just had a look at slimming eats, some lovely recipes. Does anyone know what American cup sizes work out in grams and ounces?

Thank you, some great ideas here.

I love that blog!

Re: cups, I don't convert but just use same size cup for everything. A small teacup or beaker. I think 1/4 cup is a tblsp but don't quote me on that!

Everyonesmom thanks for the website. I made the chicken, sweet potato and lentil curry for tea this evening and it was absolutely delicious.

Discovered this syn free version of KFC a few weeks ago at a taster night and have lost count of how many people I've recommended it to since. Well worth a try.

My DD loves korma - it can vary massively according to which brand of korma powder you use (Sainsburys own was our fave but they seem to have stopped doing it). I stir in quark at the very end instead of using yoghurt/fromage frais which makes it creamier.

I think this is SW friendly and free, but is just an old fave. If someone can confirm it is then i will be v happy as its really tasty!

Fry 1 x chopped onion, 1 x chopped green pepper and 2 x chopped green chillis in fry light until soft
Add 6 x bacon medallions (no fat), cut into small pieces
Fry the mixture until bacon is cooked
Add 1 x tin Tesco mixed bean salad (drained)
Add 1 x tin chopped tomatos

Simmer for 15 mins, serve with rice.
(You can also top with a bit of grated cheese as a HEA)

I love the SW Chicken Tikka Masala. I use loads of smoked paprika to give it that Tandoori flavour.

I also make banana pancakes: mash a banana and mix with two eggs. Fry in Fry light like pancakes. They are delicious. I serve them with 2 tbs of low sugar jam ( 2 syns) and it stops me craving cakes and cream teas.

I also love a plain chicken breast and roasted veg in balsamic vinegar. It's free on SP and so tasty. I roast carrots, cherry tomatoes, onions, peppers and courgettes.

Just on this note .... What the hell does one use Quark for?

Homity pie. It is nice if you like herbs!! Luckily I do and it is delicious.

stone I used quark last night to make a pepper sauce for my steak.

In fry light, done tomatoes, mushrooms, pepper. Sprinkled over veg oxo, loads of pepper. Took it off the heat and added quark. It made a delicious sauce, but you have to take it off the heat before adding, or it goes bitty if you know what I mean.

I've never made it, but apparently you can add 2 teaspoons of options and a bit of sweetner if desired (2 syns), to quark and it make it kind of like chocolate cheescake topping.

I use quark with chopped spring onions on jacket spuds instead of sour cream

Will be having a look at the websites

A lot of the meals I cooked already are syn free or low syns

I tried the lasagne recipe. IT wasn't brilliant (my normal one is not low syns) and DS refused to eat it. I did look at a macaroni cheese recipes but was put off by th fact it uses cottage cheese. Is that the one you tried Tutti
