Lemon Cheesecake Pudding (inspired by Slimming World)

I absolutely love lemon cheesecake, so for pud this evening I've made one inspired by Slimming World.
Crumble one Alpen light bar (I've used Double Chocolate) and place it into a dish. Mix some quark with one tbsp of sweetener and 2 tsp of lemon curd. (2 syns and half of my healthy extra b, if you don't use it as an healthy extra it will be 5 syns) decorate with a strawberry and enjoy!

Time for Brekkie!

I love porridge but since the weather is getting better I thought I'd try something different. 'Overnight Oats'

Weigh out 35g of porridge oats (Healthy extra B, if you are following the Slimming World plan) layer in a bowl with Mullerlight yoghurt and Frozen mixed fruits... then leave it in the fridge overnight... in the morning enjoy!!

Curry Night!

I fancied a curry for tea tonight, so cooked a Syn Free Chicken Curry with loads of vegetables. I also had a go at making Syn Free Onion Bhajis. I've added the recipe to the 'Favourite Recipes' section.

I baked this cake over the Christmas period... I know its a little late, but only just found the photo of it. It's very yummy and full of flavour.

Spanish Tortilla

Had tea cooked for me tonight! Using duck eggs from Croft 2a my Fiancé cooked Spanish Tortilla, served it with a side salad and cooked Macaroni pudding for dessert, YUM! ... I've been spoilt!



Battenburg Cake!

I had a look in the Co-operative Food magazine and spotted the recipe for a Battenburg Cake. Since my FiancĂ© loves Marzipan I thought I'd have a go at making one.  So, here is my attempt!
I used red food colouring to make pink which the batter was before baking, but it then turned a grey colour :(
A little disappointed with the presentation because of the dodgy colour but it tastes great! 

Got the Baking Bug again!!

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, been very busy at work and not had time to get in the kitchen to bake! I've got the baking bug again and made these White Chocolate Chip Cookies on Tuesday.
