Awesome fresh coleslaw

Hey peeps,
I have been meaning to post for ages but you know what this time of year is like, it is so busy just now and when I do have a spare minute I am normally vegging in front of the TV!
Now this recipe wasn’t created by me, don’t think I have ever created a recipe???? But anyway I have tweaked it slightly to make it more Slimming World friendly and I urge you to try it. It is so light and fresh, the last time we make it we couldn’t help but eat it right out of the bowl like the pigs that we are…….
Anyway here it goes and it makes alot and is best used straight away so just adjust the ingredients to suit the amount you need. I also make this using the shred blade on my food processor so it literally takes about 2 mins to put it all together.

You will find the original recipe here, and the picture at the bottom of the page is also from that website (Which I love by the way, their food is always great. Just a shame most of it isn’t SW friendly). I will update with my own when I make it next. I can promise you though that mine won’t look as pretty!

Syns per recipe: 4 1/2
Servings: 4-6 generous portions
Syns per serving: 1 to be safe

Ingredients:
180g finely shredded cabbage
180g finely shredded red cabbage
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
1 small onion, shredded
24g finely chopped spring onions
9 tbsp extra light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons (40ml) white vinegar
1-3 teaspoons sweetner – I would add a little and taste and add more if you need it
Salt

Method:
Stir mayonnaise, white vinegar, sweetner together in a small bowl. Cover bowl and refrigerate until required. Once needed taste and season accordingly.
Mix all the shredded/grated vegetables together in a large bowl and add the dressing when about to serve. If you mix the vegetables and dressing a while before serving it can make the vegetables go limp so only dress the coleslaw as you are going to serve it.
I urge you to make this, it is really worth it. Would be excellent with homemade burgers……
Now this isn’t my picture as you will notice straight away, my camera certainly isn’t good enough to take a picture like this. Come to think of it neither am I….

syn-free Blue Cheese and Caramelised Onion Pasta

I love cheese, and I really love blue cheese but it’s been all but absent from my diet since starting Slimming World. I was inspired to try it in this recipe after making the caramelised onions and I’m glad to report it worked! I’m happy to have found a way to enjoy blue cheese flavour without too many syns.

Serves 1 (but you can scale up as required)

Syn free on Extra Easy and Green (if using the cheese as a Healthy Extra, otherwise 6 syns)

Ingredients:

  • 100g dried pasta
  • 28g blue cheese (a strong one is good as you are using so little) (HEA or 6 syns)
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener
  • Fry Light

Method:

Gently cook the onions in Fry Light until they begin to soften, then add the balsamic, water and sweetener and contine to cook over a low heat until the liquid is gone and the onions are soft and caramelised (I cooked mine for at least 20 minutes in total)
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions
Drain the pasta and then crumble in the blue cheese and stir to melt it a bit. Mix in the caramelised onions and serve.

Slimming World scones

I used plain yoghurt in these scones, which create plain, savoury scones. But you could use a flavoured fat free yoghurt, like raspberry or toffee, to give a sweet flavour. You could also add some fruit (don’t forget to add Syns!) to create toffee apple scones.

Ingredients
170g self raising flour
1/2 salt
28g low fat spread
200g fat free yoghurt
1 tbsp skimmed milk
Method
Mix the flour and salt. Add the spread and rub in, until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the yoghurt and milk and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Turn mixture out onto a floured surface and knead – briefly – until cohesive. Roll or press out to 1cm thick. CUt into desired number of scones.

Place on baking paper (sprayed with a little Fry Light) on a baking tray. Spray tops of scones with Fry Light. Cook at gas mark 8 for 10 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

Slimming World Syns: about 35 Syns for the whole mix, so divide that up between the number of scones you create.

Slimming world friendly pizza

Hey guys,
Well after Vicky got the go ahead from SW that the wholemeal bread mix from Tesco can be used as a HE (well 57g worth can) here, I just had to make some pizza and rolls. The rolls were a little heavy but they certainly filled a hole and the pizza was absolutely awesome!! I used a fail proof pizza sauce recipe that you can find here.

The whole pizza came out at 7 syns as I had 2 HEB worth of base and used my HEA for the cheese, I do Extra Easy, and the base sauce recipe come out at 1 syn because I didn’t use any parmesan.
You can see the various stages of my pizza and ingredients below (The pepperoni isn’t mine):
