Quick meals! Cant take any more pasta!

[Helen2444]

I am on my 3rd week now doing ee! I am finding myself eating loads of pasta because its quick and easy but it's boring me now I've tried different pasta bakes and other stuff! Any ideas on quick meals?

Any help would be appreciated!

I think omelettes are good for a quick SW friendly meal. I also have jacket potatoes quite often for a quick dinner.

Maybe you could try cooking extra when you do cook, and freezing a portion for a SW friendly ready meal?

Know what you mean Helen 2444, Im sick of scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast for breakfast

 

[Helen2444]

Umm didn't think of that! I need to look at some recipes and try some different stuff and freeze them would be good!! I no i struggle with breakfast too as have to be in work for 5am and i never get up in time for breakfast so usually just a banana! Thanks!!

Rice takes just the same amount of time as pasta! Noodles are even quicker! There is no reason to eat pasta!

I never use to have a breakfast, but now i make myself. I know sw only works if you make sure you eat all allowances. thats where I went wrong last time. I didn't eat enough !!!!!

There are thousands of meals over in the recipe subforum so take a look there, there is also a recipe section on the SW website and you have access to the SW magazine and lots of SW recipe books.

A good blog is Slimming World Recipes - Slimming Eats so go browsing

And really any "normal" recipes can be adapted to be SW friendly so dig out any recipe books and get googling.A favourite site of mine is BBC Good Food - Recipes and cooking tips

There is no reason for being bored hun

Baked to perfection salmon (freezer to plate in 5 minutes) stab a bag of spinach and throw in the microwave - fridge to plate in 2 minutes (top) This is really healthy, free and quick! x
