A slimmer Christmas is a-coming with Slimming World

wobblymummy

Hi there

I am joining SW this week. Can anyone tell me if there are any recipes for slow cookers that are allowed on Slimming World

Thanks

Most basic ingredients are allowed on slimming world, the big no-nos are high fat ingredients like cream and butter, high-fat meat products (so basic fat removed stuff is okay), sugar + processed white flour products. So there will be loads of slowcooker recipes that are absolutely fine on SW

I'm planning to make Lasagne for the first time since I joined SW. My white sauce is usually made with cornflour, butter & ss milk and I add some grated cheese into the sauce as well as on top! (more than would be allowed for a week's healthy A's & B's!!)
Can anyone suggest a white sauce with either no syns or very few?
Thanx!

Evening all! Hope the weekend fairies are behaving!! Tongiht I made some yummy pork ribs using the spicy buffalo sauce recipe that MrsM posted a while back. They were delish!! I cooked the ribs in the slow cooker all day with lots of veg that I turned into soup. I then coated the ribs with the sauce and finished them in the oven.....scrummy!!!

I'm feeling very pleased with myself this week.....I have exercised everyday except for Tuesday so far:

Monday - 50min walk
Wednesday - 45mins riding (afterwards I was so tired I could barely walk round morrisons to do my shopping!!!)
Thursday - lots of walking while out for the day with mum
Friday - 50 min walk
Saturday - 50 min walk

When I say about walking, it's VERY brisk!!! Tomorrow I may well go for a bike ride which is VERY brave for me as I hate riding a bike! I'd like to get into it a bit more as now the clocks are changing I might not have time to do the walk but I can whizz around the same route a bit faster on my treader!!

Survived my flexi syn day at the vegan festival - felt I'd stayed well in control.

Had 2 squares of a new dairy free choc, tasters of a new pate and a soft soya cheese then had soup for lunch with a slice of bread as the other options were all deep fried or wraps/burgers.

Chose one cake - went for a deep choc mud pie! I did not eat the biscuit base - just the mousse type topping that was made from tofu/cocoa powder and agarve syrup. Have no idea how to work out syns but back on track now:T

yup - all of 'em, as long as you remove visible fat from meat and don't add fat or oil when cooking (which you don't need in a slow cooker anyway)

And, except the things Lightisfading mentioned - sugar, cream etc.

I know I don't count weekends but this one is a complete write off. Have had chinese already with a jam doughnut for afters [didn't taste of anything and was a bit dry ] the ripple I had earlier was nice though. Feel so hungry still don't know why though.
Tomorrow we are going out for lunch, not sure where yet but I will probably have usual roast cos I love it

Good luck with the weekend all, hope its better than mine syn wise :rotfl:

How do you do this - do you boil & mash the potatoes, bake the quiche base, then add the filling and bake some more?

Yes, that's just about it,teecee46 . Doesn't need much baking the first time, I just fork it over a bit to give a rough surface and then bake just enough to dry it a bit so that egg mixture doesn't soak in.
