Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff - Can Be Made Vegetarian

Stroganoff is a great dish and can easily be adapted to vegetarian by simply omitting the chicken or for a more meaty recipe the chicken can be substituted with beef or pork. It goes well with most side dishes too, from mash potatoes and red cabbage to pasta and a side salad.

Chicken and Chorizo Paella

I love Mediterranaen cuisine and also one-pot dishes, so to me Paella is perfect. This version is low in syns but still retains the wonderful flavours you would expect. It also has a little extra speed vegetables in there too.

Chicken Bean Soup

This tasty soup is a twist on classic Cock-a-Leekie. It's wonderfully for a starter, lunch or supper. Having the additional protein of the beans it helps to keep you fuller for longer. It freezes well too, so can be portioned up and put in the freezer.

Sea Bass With Chorizo Bean Stew

This dish was inspired by a recipe James Martin cooked on one of his programs. I looked it up and worked out how to make it Slimming World friendly. Full of Mediterranean flavours that whisks you back to your summer holidays.

When The Going Gets Tough

There are times in everyone's life when things happen that cause us to loose control of are eating. Some of these situations can be very emotional and stressful such as bereavement, serious illness, relationships, work or financial worries. Other situations could be short lived like a party with a buffet, kids on school leave or holidays. There are a few things you can do to help you get back in control. Even if only a little bit. Something doable when times are testing but they can help give you a lift.
