Here we ate our cheesy leeks with trout and boiled potatoes. We got the trout from ASDA and had it in a packet that you put straight in the oven (we love a minimum effort meal)

 

The cheesy leeks were a bit inspired. This makes two big portions

Ingredients

Two big leeks/4 small leeks

30g Cheddar, grated (Healthy A)

2tbsp Creme Fraiche - low fat/fat free (1 syn)

Method

Fry the leeks in a bit of fry light. When they're nearly ready add a tablespoon of water to steam them slightly.

Add the cheese and mix for a few seconds to melt the cheese.

Take off the heat and stir in two tablespoons of creme Fraiche.

Serve straight away.

Our attempt at a Sunday roast always factors in minimal effort.

Here we cooked a joint of pork, (just following the instructions on the packet), some veg which we chopped and put in the actifry with a few squirts of fry light, and some leeks fried in fry light.

 

We had some slimming world gravy. To be completely honest it tasted like French onion soup 2/5. I think I'll try my own next time.

These are chocolate pots, which are simply quark mixed with two spoons of lite hot chocolate. They're ok, like the top of a cheesecake. They could do with a bit more flavour which I might look into a bit more but they do satisfy a craving!

On a Saturday night you really need a treat. Ours was always chip shop chips. We're having the same here but with a couple of tweaks.

Homemade chips: cut, soaked in water for an hour then cooked in our actifry for 45 minutes with a few sprays of frylight.

Sausages: Slimming World's own from Iceland.

 

Chip Shop Curry Sauce: Slimming World's own from Iceland.

 

I'm not sure about the sauce, my husband like it, but I like a Chinese curry and this is more of a fruity Curry. I might try and make my own next time.

This is another recipe from the slimming world book. This is a total winner! I think we'll be living on this. We love burgers and Subway salads as this is kinda inbetween the two. The sauce on it is also absolutely delicious. This made far more than we needed but we've saved it for later.

You can't beat a bit of steak and this couldn't be simpler.

We have an breville actifry, which is aweosome. We cut the potatoes up and left them to soak in a bowl of water until we're ready (we usually aim for an hours soak). Then we put them in the actifry with a few squirts of fry light for 30 minutes and then (and this is the ingenious part) we add seasoning and then cook for 15 more minutes. They come out beautifully.

For the steak, we heat the pan, and spray the steak with fry light and some black pepper, then we just fry it for one minute on each side. Once done we add a tiny splash of water to the pan to lift the meat juices and two tablespoons of creme fraiche the either some garlic, or some black pepper, whatever you're in the mood for. At 0.5 syns for a tablespoon of low fat creme fraiche you can't go wrong!

Tonight's special treat was one of the recipes from the member book - sweet chilli chicken. It was really good. We actually put in the time to strip the skin from the thighs and I think it was really worth it for the marinade to soak into the meat. Delicious!
