Extra Easy inspiration!

[Bernadette and mum]

Hiya I have been doing slimming world for about three months now, I'm a bit of a slow loser (only lost 10.5lbs so far) but none the less I am really loving it!! Although I haven't yet been very imaginative with what I've been cooking I have tried quite a lot of the recipes and I thought I would post recipes and pictures of what I've been trying out along with some of my own recipes for a bit of inspiration.

RECIPES:
Cottage pie
Fancy pea curry
Spaghetti bolognase
Chicken curry

Very fancy pea curry!
This recipe is basically just the slimming world pea curry, except it's more of a bean curry! I love the pea curry but I think it's a bit boring so I always try and bung in something else instead of just basic pea curry ingredients to make it more interesting.


Ingredients:
-1 tin baked beans in tomato sauce
-i tin chopped tomatoes
-1 tin kidney beans
-1 tin chickpeas
-tikka curry powder to taste (I would usually go for 2-3 big tablespoons)

1. Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan.
2. Heat until hot.
3. Serve with rice and veg or salad.
