Ok it's over for another year (yippee!). Unsurprisingly I went off plan, it could have been worse but it's still a big refined carb hit. WI on Weds so tomorrow Extra Easy SP. Not done before, any easy suggestions for a vegetarian please? Thank you.Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).0

Hope you've all had an amazing Christmas Day.Ok it's over for another year (yippee!). Unsurprisingly I went off plan, it could have been worse but it's still a big refined carb hit. WI on Weds so tomorrow Extra Easy SP. Not done before, any easy suggestions for a vegetarian please? Thank you.
I've used a mixed bean goulash recipe from thegirlcalledjack website (now cookingonabootstrap) suitably made SW friendly which you could have. Just serve with some stir fried cabbage and other veg.
There is a similar type of bean casserole on the SW website (https://group.slimmingworld.co.uk/recipes/vegetarian-spicy-bean-casserole.aspx) which comes from the EESP recipe page. Well worth a look at the menu plan there for some other ideas - although most of the recipes do tend to be for non-vegetarians.
If you look at the "Features" tab and search for Vegan you may also find some suitable recipes there which you could use to make some other meals.
Hope those ideas are useful Caterina.
Greentiger - if you've only had a 0.6lb gain from Christmas day you have done amazingly well! I haven't actually weighed but I'm sure my gain will much more. Not actually weighing this week as I'm off on holiday for a month next week and was in target range before Christmas so no need (thankfully!).
We were at DD2s yesterday and it was definitely an off plan day for me yesterday, although I didn't have any of the gravy which was made with the beef juices! I probably ended up on about 60 or 70 syns, although I didn't keep count.
More or less back on plan now until we go away.
Today's plan:
B - Fry up
L - cold meats; boiled potatoes & beans; pickles for speed
D - Steak, chips, onions
HEA - milk in drinks as usual
HEB - crackers
Syns - butter & cheese on crackers
Oops that turned into a bit of an essay.

Glad to have been of help Caterina. Hope you've found some additional ideas as well.
Jack Monroe's website is pretty good for vegetarian recipes.
