  • Hi everyone,
    well i decided to have a green day today as i read a recipe on some other SW forum for using pasta n sauce and brocoli,

    pack of cheese and brocoli pasta n sauce made up with water, blanched brocoli and cauliflower, 42gm low fat cheddar,

    cook everything, place brocoli and cauli in a casserole dish cover with the pasta and top with the cheese, bake in the oven until cheese bubbleas and goes brown,

    it was delicious and i served it with sliced potatoes cooked like SW chips, fed 3 of us with some to spare, will deffo do it again, maybe the chicken pasta with quorn, cauli and sweetcorn.

    well done to all who have lost, i love that feeling.

    I wish I had done that instead of that broccolli bake i did today, it took about an hour and a half including prep!! Gonna try that this weekend. Thanks.

    I've now lost two stone four and a half pounds since starting Slimming World on Sept 9th. So I'm pretty impressed with that.

    But I'm still huge...I need to lose the same again really, and that will be much harder.

    Wow thats an amazing loss Dux:T

    I had a lovely meal tonight on red day of baked salmon steak with lemon and pepper with a big veg stir fry with garlic and chilli..........yum.

    I have 14lbs to loose and really want to tone up my play-doh tummy and thighs at the same time:rolleyes:

    I definitely dont want to loose any weight off the boobage but I bet thats where it goes from first.:mad:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Evenin all :wave:

    Well got joint slimer of the week despite only loosing 1lb , but that also gave me my 1 stone loss award (lost 1 and a half before going to the group) and took me awhisker under my next stone landmark :j:j

    Well done to everyone else who has lost :T:beer::beer:

    I amde the Baked Bean Lasagne last night - half portions from the recipe - used THREE cloves of Garlic :D:D:p and several splashes of hot chilli sauce - made SW chips (used Chalotte spuds - Yummy) and the whole thing was delicious.

    Also been for a walk every night this week straight from work - so a tad dissapointed it was just 1 lb - but happy with the landmark achievements aspect of it :j:j:T:T

    Where did you get the recipe for baked bean lasagne and what hot chili sauce do you use? I could eat the encona sweet chilli sauce till it was coming out my ears but hot version sounds intriguing !!!

    Baked bean lasagne

    8 oz cheese - value cheese is absolutely fine
    1 large onion, chopped
    garlic - about two cloves
    2 tins of beans (value ofcourse)
    about 12 lasagne sheets (value)
    cheese sauce

    Heat the oven to about gas mark five. Cook the onion and garlic and then mix with the beans. Layer up the beans, lasagne and cheese sauce like a normal lasagne and put grated cheese on the top. Bake for about 30 mins.


    This is the one I use and its yummy!

    Been to Swansea for four days, just got back now off to FIL's this weekend. Been trying to make good choices and haven't put on more than a lb or so, but still struggling to lose!

    Someone had quark to use up!

    Uses for Quark

    Add very low fat fromage frais to quark with some herbs & garlic to make a lovely dip.

    Add garlic puree (you don’t need very much) to a tub of quark, mix together and keep in the fridge to add to almost anything! Try dipping slimming world chips into it or use as a topping for jacket potatoes.
    Mix with a tin of tuna, chopped spring onion, red pepper and a tsp of paprika for a sandwich filling or jacket potato topping.
    Mix salmon with a tub of quark place on a bed of rocket leaves and top with asparagus and black pepper. (Lovely as a starter)
    Mix quark with cooked leeks, mushrooms, fat free fromage frais or yoghurt and stir through pasta. It makes a really nice creamy sauce.
    Quark is a good alternative to cottage cheese when making quiche, just whisk it into the eggs and pour over the base mixture.
    Make a sugar free jelly up as the packet says and set aside to cool (2 sins). Mix a matching flavoured Muller light with a pot of quark. Carefully stir in jelly and allow to set in the fridge over night.
    Mix equal parts quark and Mullerlight (any flavour). Add a little sweetener and put into ice cream maker - delicious!
    Add sweetener, mix well and use as a free topping on fruit.

    Well done you brilliant losers :T :T :T .
    My turn too today lost 3lb, really pleased.

    I just sat down to have Cottage cheese and ryvita minis for lunch and I bought the Asda GFY Red Pepper cottage cheese - thinking it would be better than the pineapple one (which is 3 sys per tub) and its not listed on SW site , so I calculated the syns (whilst eating it):o and it told me it was 13 syns per tub!!! :eek: I have just put the lid back on i'm not wasting 13 syns on cottage cheese i could have a bar of chocolate for that!!!:EasterBun
