♥ Cheese & Onion Mini Quiches ♥

They work out at 0.5 syns per quiche

Ingredients:
112g Kerry Low Low Full Flavoured Mature Cheddar Spread (this is 3 syns per 28g)
250g of low fat cottage cheese
3 eggs
1 red onion
2 spring onions
Salt & pepper
Garlic granules

Method:
Melt the Kerry Low low cheese spread in the microwave for 40 seconds.
Add the 3 eggs & cottage cheese to a mixing bowl, chop up the onions and mix altogether.
Add the melted cheese, mix well & season.
Add some garlic granules for extra flavour.
Cook on gas mark 6 for around 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.

DELICIOUS!

The quiches look lovely! I made one with Quark but wasn't keen on the texture. Using cottage cheese and spread sounds nicer :) I think I'll try Quark in something sweet next time seeing as I'm constantly craving sweet things at the mo :(.

I managed to get to target too :)
But now its just nice to swap and share recipes and inspiration etc.

So feel free to post any recipes or ideas here that we can share.
Love Stacey x

Howdey! :)p
Yes!
I'm a member of Slimming World and I also reached my target! (congrats to you for reaching yours! :rose )

Those cheese and onion mini quices look DELISH! :(|)
Might try them out! xx>>>

I love the Slimming World chips (mmmmm) They are quite nice with a bit of crushed garlic on them!

I love getting HUGE mushrooms and stuffing them with low low cheese and putting LOADS of peppers in them too, you have to bake them of course. 8)

Iv gone off plan these last few days, my heart just isnt in it.
I found my 10 month old hammy Kit had died in her sleep and when checking on my dwarf hammy she is missing.
When I weighed myself I had only lost 2 oz so at the moment I dont think I could feel any lower. Doesnt help my partners away so I'm sat in the house by myself.
Oh and my piggy Ollie is looking unwell but vet cant find anything wrong.

Having an ok week this week, did overdo my sins yesterday (I'm going to blame PMT i NEEDED a choclate fix :)) ) i'm going away on holiday on saturday to north wales, me and OH are staying in Bangor and will be off exploring Snowdonia, we will be eating out most of the time and i'm quite worried :{ i will be taking alpen bars, fruit etc to take when we set out for the day but its going to be a bad week i can just feel it @) :^-
 
I have the same worries about my Birthday weekend at the end of Feb, not going away but will have meals out 3 days running and alcohol:{

I'm determined not to go over the top just as it's a birthday - can eat free foods all day then going for an Indian meal with parents - the restaurant do my meals with no oil so not too bad, then the following day going out for a boozy night with friends and a Chinese but this one does low fat meals, then seeing family the following day and there will be birthday cake.

Am really hoping I dont get given lots of chocolate - always nice people buying me gifts but I had so much chocolate at Christmas it got silly and everyone knows I am on a diet! Will have to give it away like at Christmas:(

I will put on for sure as going to a different meeting the week before - a morning weigh in and I'm always lighter in the morningrolleyes

Having a good week this week - done tons of walking, Zumba last night and only snacks are fruit/salad/vege this week, Still bet I only lose 1lb max tomorrow as am in a pattern but guess 1lb a week is still ok.
 
1lb off today got my 1 stone award :)) need to lose 4 and half lb for club ten so hoping to do that this week if I'm 100% on plan and upping my exercise if not i'll get it next week. I welcome any tips

Well done:) I lost 1lb this week too - same now past 3 weeks am in a 1lb loss pattern - wish it would speed up! I've paid my deposit for Zumba next Mon and plan to do some walking Sat. Am wondering if I could cope with 1.5 hrs gym then 1 hour Zumba Friday after work but with the working week I'm having I think I'll just want to go home and crash:{
 
I don't think there's any point in over doing it, i am hoping to up my exercise but not on the same day as something else, i also have to keep it different as i get bored so i go gym mon zumba tues have now signed up for another zumba friday weds is sw and i never feel like doing anything after( i bike there and back which is just over a mile each way) do you have any dvd's? i have pump it up from last year and thats a killer and i also have zumba dvd collection tho i have only managed to do the first tutorial dvd once i do the dvds or dance central a couple times a week.
 
I have so many dvds but no motivation to do them:(

That quiche recipe was so delicious! My OH said it tasted like a shop bought quiche. SO much nicer than the quark one I made :{ Thanks for posting the recipe xx
 
Theres a code going around at the moment for Holland and Barretts online, and they sell scan bran. They're on offer for 2 packs for £2.03 but if you place an order over £5.01 and use the code 'HB1122E' you get £5 off. Postage is £1.99 which you do have to pay for. Valid till 15th Feb.

I just used it and it worked, 6 packs of Scan bran for £3.07 inc postage. Obviously I don't go to class so I don't know how this compares to their prices.

Just hoping they get delivered ok :)
 
another 2 lb off this week so thats 8 1/2 lbs in 3 weeks sooo happy i was having a bad day but this has really cheered me up :(|) got my 1/2 stone award too :)
 
4 and half off this week need point 15 of a pound for club ten lol but did get slimmer of the week:))
 
Well done:) that's great!

I lost 1.5lb this week - 2lb off losing 2.5 stone now! Hope I get there next week as it will be another target met in time for my birthday.

I doubt I'll speed up anymore than 1.5lb loss now as I can't get low fat versions of some of my foods like yoghurt as I get the dairy free ones and there is not a fat/sugar free soya version of yoghurt or cheese! I also avoid the artificial sweetners and hate spray oils!

After my birthday I want to look at having more superfrees and up the excercise more:)

Am pleased how it's going, really think I can be at target by summer and am looking forward to a nice slimmer summer - can't remember one of those before!
 
Well done, i know my losses will get slower closer to target but a loss is better tha a gain, are you allowed primula cheese i just know its free on ee but might be good for you too. I want to do more exercise but I'm not sure what to do i like spinning but my gym is fully booked for the next 4 weeks!


Stacey, what was that low syn beer someone was moaning about how high they were in group today and i couldn't remember anything about it just that you had found one i'd like to be able to give them the name of it
 
Hi no can't have primula cheese as its a dairy one and I only have vegan ones - but there are not many vegan low fat cheese spreads out there - Gap in the market there me thinks!

I love Zumba but classes round here are getting booked up as its the new craze at the mo. I also struggle to get home from evening classes, not driving but wish I could go to more excercise classes.

That beer was from Sainsburys think it's 1 syn? I've got some which is nice. Its a Czech beer. Stacy will have more info, I'm sure.
 
only 1/2 lb for me this week, although i did go on holiday and eat cake, chocolate and burgers etc :red :x mallethead its suprising how sluggish i felt after eating junk food @) just shows how bad it is for you
 
yea i ate a load of **** yesterday and felt yucky and now feel bad about it but have planned this weeks meals and went shopping and have 2 and half pound in my head so am trying to be positive
 
If I eat junk food or mega high fat food now I feel awful - had a fab massive slice of choc pud last weekend and felt so sluggish for the next 24 hours and had really bad stomach ache:{

I do have a lot more energy these days - only get about 6 hours sleep a night but am not normally tired at work, had a massive plate of pasta/vege/salad tonight as off out to the pub tonight and want to avoid crisps! As we only had white pasta in I'm now tired.

I'm also missing my walk as got a lift home today, but did play an hour of badminton with students today.

Will just have a couple of vodka/diet cokes tonight and then water need to stay pretty sober as aim to get the train home.

Am so excited that a new Zumba class is starting in the village about a 8-10 min walk from my house:) so that's my Thursday night from March:)) They might have a Sat am one too if popular. Might try body tone on a Monday too.

This weekend will be testing food wise - drinks tonight, cousins 40th tomorrow - Chinese, Christening Sunday. But will be watching what I eat/drink.
 
There was a great item in the paper tonight - the lady who does the weighing at my SW class was in the paper - I never realised she has lost 8 stone - down from a size 26 to a 12-14 and looks great. She is a Zumba addict too:) so nice to read it really motivating!
 
i've added you (I'm tanya titchmarsh btw) :)

Alison - can i ask what Zumba is? :red i've been told to steer clear of the gym and things like that by my doctor as i have an illness that affects my muscles and makes me feel half dead most of the time :( she said walking would be the best excercise for me :)

:o i think if i jigged around like that for than 5 minutes i would pass out :)) looks like fun though, might see if there are any classes in my area :)


i thought about buying some exercise dvds (dance type ones) these maybe the better option as i work evenings frequently, and noone can see me looking like a fool :red:))

My Zumba class is a bit like that too - except the instructor is a very fit, muscle man type who has the humour of Mr Motivator and Lenny Henry:)) I could watch him dance for hours:))

I do feel it in my knees the next day until about lunchtime - but do love Zumba - mainly for the feel good/fun factor it contains, I've 2 left feet and can't pick up all the routines but no one seems to mind and we all smile away! I'm looking at moving to the new class in my village as the other class means 2 trains home after. Will see how that goes as think it will be hard to beat that instructor.

I also find walking great excercise - last week I walked home 3 miles from work I put my music on loud and power walk it home in about 45 mins - I'd go on what your GP advises - build it up slowly as it will take time for your muscles to get use to the excercise by the sound of it? Hopefully we will have some sunny days soon, nicer for walking in:)

I'm considering trying a different excercise class tomorrow - body tone - there is a class at 7.30pm in the village so only a 10 min walk each way and Zumba's not on until March there.
 
Also I'm finding I'm getting so fed up with meetings now - just find the time is used for the consultant to go round the group and say what everyone's lost/gained, there is the raffle and that is usually it. Think this is the pattern but don't find it's for me really.

It's great how it helps people and motivates them but I'm finding I just go to the group by work just for Weigh in now, I struggle find the motiation to go out to an evening class after a full on day at work - and now Zumba's starting in my village same time/day as my original class I think that will help me more.

I'll keep going to WI but part of me does wonder if I could now do it myself and use the £5 on a Zumba class instead. If I do 2 classes and SW in a week it's £15:{ think I'll keep going until Easter and review it then. Maybe I'll start going every other week instead?
