Welcome to my blog...

Thank you for clicking in to my kitchen!

Having started Slimming World in June of this year, I have been so excited about a diet that allows me to indulge my love of cooking and eating and have been inspired to create some simple recipes in the kitchen which shouldn’t cost too much in time, effort or Syns.

My excitement has continued to grow and so, 17lbs lighter, I felt it was time that I shared some of these recipes with other Slimming World members or anyone who wants to enjoy cooking and eating food that tastes good and happens to be good for your body, health and waistline (or the sight of any other lumps and bumps) at the same time.

If a recipe has Syns in it, I will include the Syn value at the beginning of the ingredient list. If no value is given, there are no Syns. I have tried to make the recipes simple and easy but if any seasoned cooks are reading, please forgive any overly detailed explanations and/or tips you don’t need and just skim over these.

I hope that this blog will grow into a useful resource full of ideas for anyone interested in cooking and staying slim at the same time. Please feel free to add any comments and/or suggestions on the recipes or anything else featured (constructive criticisms also welcome!).

Finally, being a lover of baking, I do reserve the right to add the occasional Synful cake/biscuit/baked goody recipe but I shall endeavour to include only Synful recipes I have eaten myself along with the results these cake fests produced that week at weigh-in!
