**Happy New Slimming World Year**

I have adapted this Baked Upside down cheesecake recipe:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/05/baked-upside-down-cheesecake-recipe
I have it cooking in the oven right now and it smells divine. Very good baked cheesecake smell!
If it tastes as good as it smells I will post the adapted recipe. Can't wait to try it....

Wow, it is absolutely delicious. Tastes like a very decadent dessert but is 4.5 syns for a big portion (if you don't syn the fruit, which I know isn't the official SW line).

Hi all :wave: I'm just making a whistle-stop as I've not had chance to get anywhere near the 'puter for ages. We've had a couple of small trips away, my elderly Mum is not at all well at the moment. The washing and ironing at home has been mounting to Titanic proportions and is now threatening to leave us naked unless sorted. I've had had little or no spare time for 'surfing' and have missed you and the chat

Having seen this post, I wanted to mention that there is already a Sw recipe thread tacked onto the end of a slimming recipes thread here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=1948340&postcount=3.

Perhaps someone could collate the recipes and add them to the new thread - or is that all a lot of unnecessary work???

Anyways, it's great to see so many newbies joining us and there seems to have been some impressive losses lately. Hopefully, within the next couple of weeks things will sort themselves out a bit and I can get back on an even keel and try to be a useful member of the thread again.

I hope all the poorly ones are on the mend and the fairies can't find you :rotfl::rotfl:

I have just got some feta and onion filo tarts out of the oven, look really good. My SIL is putting on a meal tonight for us all, as I am vegetarian I usually take my own dish so that helps with SW!
The original recipe is here:

I only made a tiny amount of the onion marmalade and subbed the goats cheese with 42g Feta (HEA). They look nice enough to be served in a restaurant...!

Hope your mum gets better soon, and hope the ironing pile gets smaller (mine never does at the moment ....ive been fighting with it ever since our hols)

If you bought the Mail on a Sunday today then there is an interesting article in the You magazine (on pages 52/53/54) headed 20 simple ways to lose that stubborn extra weight :j made for an interesting read. its online here

Following my mad day last week, I'd be interested to know what plans you prefer to follow red / green / extra easy and what you typically spend your syns on ?

I've been wondering about trying to work out a lower syn recipe for cheesecake but am vegan - silken tofu works well in a vegan cheesecake but need to get a recipe and work out syns - know a lot of recipes use golden syrup and cornflour. I cant use quark/eggs and dont use artificial sweetners so might not work!

I've made blueberry muffins today to take to family meet up this afternoon - showed restraint as sat by them all afternoon and did not have one (raided the grapes in Aunt's fridge instead!) There are only 2 left now - hoping I can avoid them, have managed to avoid a choc cake that Mum brought for my Dad - a week ago. If there was ever vegan cake in the house I always had a good slice daily so am glad I have trained myself to ignore it!

Well done to the losers, you are all doing fab...

I have just been mediocre, I haven't been completely blowing it, but let's just say I haven't been 100% either! The main problm is I am utterly skint and so have been having to eat whatever is in the freezer and just buying cheap food to feed the family:(

Hopefully things will be a little better this coming week.

Redmel: sorry it's tough at the mo. You could buy pasta (get 2 different shapes/colours and your children might not notice it's the same meal each night!) and cook down tinned tomatoes with onions and garlic, add some chilli some days, vary the vegetables depending on what you can get cheaply. You should be able to get a good few SW and healthy meals from

I can beat you there dizzy I put on 10lbs in 2 weeks (Nov 2010).

I had beakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner and finally a midnight snack on the way back to our room. All inclusive of course.

Looking to go to Borneo in March (to celebrate my 50th year on this planet). There isn't an all inclusive option in any of the hotels. :eek:

they probably leave you to choose the person you want, Jill. Or don't they eat people in Borneo any more. Long Pig they used to call it. Anyway, choose a skinny one if you do have to

DO you have a slow cooker? they are great for chucking it all in in the morning, then it's ready by the time you get home.
Pre preparing things is a good idea too, I do this on Mondays as my eldest has swimming lessons and we dont get home until after 5.30pm, its usually a quick pasta dish.

A tip for pasta is, putting dried pasta in the saucepan of water at least an hour or so before you want to cook it, it rehydrates it then only takes a couple of mins to heat up

fab tip thanks! I wonder if one could rehydrate quite a bit, then freeze in portions, it might still be quicker than cooking from scratch. Though one portion (for me) in the microwave doesn't take more than a few minutes, it might be worth it for families.

Ooh chat lines - mind me asking about these, and how much money you can make? Or was that a joke?! I need a sitting-down part time job for the next 6 months or so; before I broke my leg my friends were joking (or at least I think they were joking...!) that I should be a dominatrix (:o:o:o) but the broken leg has put paid to that So a chat line should be tame! :rotfl:

Oooh an exworkmate and I got back in touch after 20 years, and she said she had been doing chatline work. She is the most unlikely person to do it. Anyway, she was good, they made her into a hirer and she travelled the world hiring other chatline staff! She thought it was fab. I might take it up when I retire ) I tried it on a male friend and there was a long silence on the end of the line, then he said, anxiously ..."Blackers?...." as if someone else was on the line by mistake I guess I need practice. Or a willing listener.

Anyway in the fruit section there was a big tray of little bobbly fruit on offer had no idea what they were so bought a few to test. They look like mini pine cones and are a pinkish colour, they are a little bigger than acorns and the same sort of shape. I've cut one in half and they have a big stone in the middle and whiteish flesh round the edge that looks a bit like an eyeball. ANY IDEAS WHAT THEY ARE?????

Oooh lychees, fab. And kind of sexy to peel and to suck the flesh off the stone. Are you going to plant a couple of the stones and see if anything grows?

Consultant, it's good to see you, and I do hope your mother's health improves. If you lived closer to me I'd come and sort out your ironing pile for you. I am quite possibly the only person in the world to love ironing.

I do EE but in the last 2 weeks have chucked a couple of green days in, but this week I am just going to do all EE and see how I get on.
I mainly use syns in my meals, condiments, sauces etc although I do sometimes have the shape delight caramel desserts which are 5 syns, and I have discovered caramel freddos 5 syns, lush!

Possibly, but then you would need to take it out and defrost it, or maybe it would defrost and cook quicker? lol
