Thank-you so much for your really nice comment, snOOk. That's so kind of you. 
I'm afraid you have to use your imagination as to what the end result looks like, as I'm so rubbish with technology! Made me laugh, how you got started on your cooking straight away! Lots of luck with your re-start.

CURRIED CHICKEN AND RICE ONE-POT - Serves 8
1.5 Syns per serving
8 bone-in chicken thigh fillets, skin removed
3 level tbsp. curry paste - 6 Syns (based on the highest Synned Patak's range)
1 tbsp. vegetable oil - 6 Syns
2 onions, finely chopped
300g basmati or long-grain rice, rinsed
2 large tomatoes, cut into 1cm pieces
700ml hot chicken stock
Pre-heat the oven to 220C/Gas 7.
Place the chicken and curry paste in a large bowl. Stir to coat the chicken in the paste.
Heat the oil in a large, frying pan over a medium-high heat. Brown the chicken in batches, turning for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
Add the onions to the pan. Saute for 3 minutes or until softened. Then, add the rice. Stir for 2 minutes, until the rice is coated in the pan juices.
Stir in the tomatoes. Transfer the mixture to a large, ovenproof dish. Arrange the chicken pieces over the rice, pressing down gently.
Carefully, pour over the hot stock and the juices from the chicken. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the thighs are cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes, covered.
Good garnished with fresh coriander leaves and served with FF Greek yoghurt.
Because of the two onions, I have included the oil, instead of the Frylight, as it cooks better.

12-15 cherry tomatoes, halved

Sprinkle of dried chilli flakes, to taste
Lots of basil, shredded

Pour in the cream and stir through. Keep on the heat for a minute or so, until piping hot.
Lovely with grated Parmesan (part HEX) and extra basil sprinkled over.
Also good with mushrooms, cooked, shredded chicken, half a tin of tuna, cooked prawns and fresh rocket, etc., stirred through.

TOMATO AND WHITE WINE PASTA SAUCE - Serves 2
2.5 - 3 Syns per serving
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp. chilli flakes, or to taste
150ml dry white wine - 4.5 - 6 Syns (depending on the wine)
400g can chopped tomatoes
Half tsp. dried oregano
Half tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. sweetener, or to taste
Small bunch of fresh basil, stalks discarded and leaves roughly chopped
Small bunch of fresh parsley, stalks discarded and leaves roughly chopped
Spray a pan well with Frylight and cook the onion until softened, stirring regularly so as not to let it stick or brown.
Add the garlic and the chilli flakes. Fry for a further few minutes, stirring.
Pour in the wine and allow to bubble for a minute or so, before adding the chopped tomatoes.
Add the oregano, thyme, sweetener and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir together.
Allow to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, with lid off, until desired thickness is reached, then stir through the basil and parsley, minus the stalks. This did take me quite a bit longer than 10 minutes - more like 20-25 but then, I do like my sauces quite thick.
Gorgeous served with pasta (spaghetti is good) and with some HEX Parmesan shaved over.
Try adding some Synned, cooked chorizo, cooked prawns, shredded, cooked chicken, thinly sliced mushrooms, etc.
Always make sure you use fresh herbs though!
This recipe is based on one by Amy Elizabeth.
Just had this for tea and it was really tasty, easy and quick. Used frozen onions and only quarter of a teaspoon of the dried chilli flakes (because we are spice wimps). Added shredded chicken and had HEX Cheddar grated over. Will definitely make again!

CHICKPEA PASTA - Serves 2
3 Syns per serving, if using oil, instead of Frylight
2 carrots, finely chopped

1 red onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
200g can chopped tomatoes
400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 vegetable stock cube
150g macaroni pasta
Fresh rosemary, to taste
Dried chilli flakes, to taste or could use half a green, deseeded chilli instead

Add the chickpeas, rosemary, tomatoes, stock cube, chilli and half a 400g can of water.

If you prefer, you can blitz half or all the sauce in a food processor. Obviously, add in other veg too, if liked - mushrooms, peppers, etc.

PORK, CHICKPEA AND CHORIZO STEW - Serves 4
Approx. 2 Syns per serving
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red or yellow pepper, deseeded and finely chopped/sliced
1 clove of garlic, crushed
400g pork tenderloin, all visible fat removed and cut into bite-sized pieces (could use chicken)
150g Sainsbury's diced chorizo - 7.5 Syns
1 tsp. smoked sweet paprika
400g chopped tomatoes
150ml hot chicken/veg stock
400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Spray a large, non-stick pan well with Frylight and cook the onion and peppers until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Add the pork and chorizo and brown quickly, over a high heat.
Turn the heat down and stir in the paprika, then add the tomatoes and stock. Season well.
Cover and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until the meat is tender and thoroughly cooked through.
Tip the chickpeas into the pan and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, to heat through.
Spoon into warmed bowls and serve with HEX crusty bread or also good served with mash and lots of veg.
When I make this, I use frozen onion and peppers and just drain the liquid off before adding the meat and chorizo. Much easier than trying to soften with Frylight!
This is based on a recipe by Aggie MacKenzie.
