I tried asking this question in another place and somebody suggested I ask it in this thread...

I have been on a slimming world type diet since October last year I have lost about 4 stone (I say about because having left Slimming World where I was weighed in clothes I now weigh naked 18 -11 to 14 -7)
One of the treats that I particularly enjoy is a slice of couscous cake lovingly made by my already slender wife. Trouble is she does not like it, she hates cooking, I can't and she won't let me near the kitchen anyway. Is there a similar product that can be bought in any supermarket, that if not low syn, is not going to be detrimental to continued weight loss.
Thank You for any help

Hi All

I wanted to share a blog with you (not mine). I found it on Pinterest. Unfortunately as a new forum user I can't post links but if you Google vicki-kitchen you'll find it easily.

This lady has some fabulous SW friendly recipes either syn free or low syn.

I tried the syn free roast potatoes last night, expecting them to be horrible, and they were fantastic. Even hubby liked them and he's a roast spud connoisseur. I'm a complete convert and can't wait to try some of the other recipes.

Had my lunch out today, so wasn't able to determine the syns exactly. I chose a chicken, bacon and mushroom pasta dish that had lots of red onion and courgettes in so hopefully not too bad in the grand scheme. The closest thing I could find is Tagliatelle Carbonara at 12.5 Syns and I'm sure that mine wouldn't be that much, as it didn't have a sauce as such.

B: Yoghurt and Mixed Berries
L: Chicken, Bacon and Veg Pasta
Chicken Sandwich (HexB) with 1 tspn mayo and salad
Snack: Satsuma
HexA; Milk in Drinks
Syns: As well as mayo on my sandwich I had a tiny bit of Chocolate Brownie and who knows how many in my lunch.

Slept well last night so feeling slightly better.

EE Menu;

B: Fibre Filler & ff yoghurt. Tea with milk.
L: Speed Soup. Peach. Milk with tea.
2 BGYS Sausages (2), SW fried egg, Refried beans & SW chips. Tea with milk.

Snack: Cup of cocoa with 2 rich tea biscuits (4)
Syn Bank: 12

Just remembered DS got his AS results today so we may be eating out as a celebration.

Unfortunately i think these sorts of things are a little bit too specialist to be sold in "normal" shops. I've never seen anything like it being sold anywhere.

Well done on your loss though..

DS has opted for a takeaway so I've decided not to have one :A and just stick with the original menu. DS and DD2 will enjoy the takeaway together. I just really need to shift these pounds.

Cous Cous cake sounds interesting, is there a recipe anywhere?

JoeDenise thank you for the brownie recipe I think I will have those as one of our Christmas treats.

Sending you a big hug meg. Hope you're feeling calmer today. It would seem that the Robin Williams story is all done and dusted. Like you, I hate this sensational, voyeuristic type of lazy journalism. I heard one of the earliest news clips about his death where his wife specifically asked to 'focus on is life not his death'. :mad:

:rotfl:Sorry no real help. What I would suggest is that as couscous cake is so easily and quickly made you sneak into your wife's kitchen when she's out and don't make a mess!


Yesterday worked out marginally better than I hoped. We went out for the day, good to be together, enjoying sightseeing. Did eat a large piece of cake in teashop. Planned to stop for a meal on way home but decided to treat ourselves to a fish supper instead. Not had one since I was in Brighton at Easter. OK so loads of syns but pleased to report that I had a mug of tea with it and the planned wine is still unopened in the fridge!!:)


My EE plan for the day:
B: NAS Ribena, HEB porage, HEA milk
L: can't decide, either vegetable soup or eggs with asparagus
liver & onions, mash, carrots, cabbage, peas
Syns: squirt of syrup, gravy


I've still not ventured to a WI yet.:o
