Thanks to my lovely friend Mel Booth for this recipe

♥ Syn free on all plans if using the cheese as a healthy extra a choice ♥

8 Large Flat Field Mushrooms
Fry Light
Salt and Pepper
4 Garlic Cloves
3 Large Tomatoes
6oz/170g Mozzarella Cheese
11oz/312g Baby Spinach
Pinch of Grated Nutmeg

Method:
Clean the mushrooms and remove the stalks. Spray with fry light and place on grill rack. Grill gently for 5 minutes the turn the over. Season well and grill for another 5 minutes until they start to weep. Remove them from the grill and set aside.

Meanwhile, peel and crush the garlic, cut the tomatoes into 8 slices and grate the mozzarella. Spray a pan with fry light and place over a high heat. Add the garlic and spinach and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until just wilted. Add the nutmeg and season well.

Hello everyone
I am new to the forum and just wondered if anyone on here follows the Slimming World eating plan?
I have been a member of Slimming World since April 2009, I joined as I wanted to lose weight for my wedding which was April 2010.
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

Well done - that is fantastic!

I started Slimming World at end of June 2010 and have lost 2 stone exactly so far. It's an amazing healthy eatting plan. Wish I'd went there years ago - wasted so much money with Weigh****chers.

Hi ladies. Can I join you in this little club?
I joined SW 3 weeks ago, got a very nasty shock on the scales, then have been ill ever since (and I eat when I'm ill!). The one thing that seems as though its going to be a problem for me is that the OH and I run 2 youth football teams. When we get home from training, which can be about 9pm, the last thing I feel like doing is cooking. And yet it is too early to eat before we go. The easiest option is the chip shop! LOL. Any good ideas?

I would try and make a stack of food when you have the time and freeze them. Then you just need to take them out on the day you need them and they'll be defrosted by the time you get home. There's always Batchelor's dried pasta 'n sauces - most of them are free syns. And there's the dried savoury rices too. They just need boiling water and put in the microwave.

Thanks weekend was good - made £82 for dog rescue, I avoided eating any cake despite being stood by vegan cupcakes! Had a vege rogan josh takeaway Sat eve with rice - lower syns than original idea of Pizza Express.

Braved the gym yesterday - did an hour but was hard work I'm unfit, first visit since they opened - I use to go years ago until it shut. No one else there had place to myself - no staff to be seen so could not pay either!

Our chippy smells vile to me - but it wins awards in top 10 UK chippy - I dont eat from any chip shop since going vegan as they usually fry fish in same fat as chips:{

Hope your flu goes soon.
 
Nice one on making the cash at the weekend :)
And going to the gym too thats fab. Ive just done 15 minutes on the exercise bike even though I feel like I'm dying lol.. With this horrible flu.

Just had my dinner and now ready to settle down and watch tv for a while.
I hope you have a good week hun x
 
Hope you feel better soon.

Just got a butternut squash soup cooking smells good, also made a baked bean and potato pie ready for tea tomorrow - added mushrooms/onions too and some tomato slices on top - if i added some vege sausage it would be a cooked veggie breakfast pie:))
 
For Devonbelle

Just a message for Devonbelle who runs the youth teams and has difficulty sorting out late food...

I use a slow cooker for loads of recipes. You can fill it up the night before and put the crock pot in the fridge. Then just get it going the next day and leave it on - wonderful and seriously healthy cooked food in the evening whenever you need it. Don't be fooled by the cooking times given in the recipes, slow cookers can just keep going for over twelve hours on low. It's really old fashioned farmhouse cooking in the cool part of the aga!

Tonight we had sausage, (precooked into bite sized pieces without skin on) leeks, beans (three bean mix), courgettes, chicken stock, garlic, black pepper, mushrooms. Fantastic. Eaten with bread with no butter so you can soak up the sauce. Dead easy and totally wonderful when you come home to that smell!

If you do decide to get one and want recipe ideas then please pm me.

mmmmm that sounds lush lol, i have a slow cooker but never use it as i am out at work all day and i was finding stuff cooked far too much in it.
 
Must dig my slow cooker out but I also find the veggie meals cook too quick in it if I pout it on before work at 8am. Could ask parents to put it on a lunch though.
