Slimming world friendly healthy vegetarian and vegan recipes
I’m going to start a series on this blog where I share my batch cooked meals, and this week was a Mexican buddha bowl. I am huge fan of batch cooking for a few days at a time, particularly on a Sunday afternoon. Not only does it save me precious time during the working week,…
Lasagne is one of those truly indulgent dishes that is always guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. I was recently reminded that I haven’t cooked a lasagne for years and I think that’s largely down to it traditionally not being very slimming world friendly. It is quite difficult to find a way to make a…
This creamy vegan high protein salad dressing is made with just a few ingredients. It is much healthier than store-bought dressing and is ready in 5 minutes. I have become a bit obsessed with experimenting with high protein sauce recipes to create something delicious, creamy and with zero syns – all very slimming world friendly….
I can give or take loaded fries as a side dish, but as a complete meal, when home made? Sign. Me. Up. There’s something about freshly cooked loaded fries, before the chips at the bottom have a chance to become soggy that really appeals to me. I’m not a fan of loaded fries on the…

I came across these gochujang tofu fries on instagram and knew I had to make them immediately! As luck would have it, I had all of the ingredients at home so got to work right away, only tweaking the recipe slightly to make it more slimming world friendly. These are so simple to make, especially…
I cannot believe this recipe for a syn free pizza actually worked. Not only did it work, it tasted absolutely incredible – bit of a faff to make, but something I will DEFINITELY be making again. Italians, please look away now! Now I’m not really one for a fancy pizza. To me, pizza is just…
I went through a phase of buying the M&S tarka daal weekly, when I was home alone and couldn’t be bothered to cook for one. This was obviously well before my slimming world journey started and let me tell you, as an Indian person.. that is a huge compliment to M&S! I’ve never been one…
Red cabbage is one of those vegetables I buy for something specific and then have no other use for it. So it sits around in my fridge for weeks on end, until I get to the point of wondering whether to bin it, or stir-fry it. I love red cabbage fried noodles, simply for the…
