Slimming world recipe ideas please?

I am going to visit my friend on saturday night who has recently joined slimming world. Her first weigh in resulted in a 6lbs loss, but this week she says its will be harder due to legoland, visitors and other incidentals. However its my first night out in ages and we want to enjoy a few drinks (at her place) and relax.

I said as she has been so busy I would provide, bring or cook dinner that is within a slimming world limit. Ideally it needs to be a low sin meal as she would like to have a couple of measured vodka and diet cokes.

I don't mind eating s/w recipes, from what i can see its basic low fat, healthy eating. However I want to create something with a bit of a "wow, that was really tasty, can I have the recipe please?" factor to it. Stick a piece of protein, carb and veg on a plate isnt going to do that.

Any ideas please?
