My ideal Valentines menu (on Extra Easy):
Starters: Sticky chicken bites, side of grilled asparagus and shredded spring onion - 1.5 SYNS per person
To make the sticky chicken, cut 1 large chicken breast into cubes. Put in a bowl, and coat with 1 tbsp honey (1 SYN), 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (1 SYN), 1 tbsp dark soy sauce (1 SYN). Leave for 3 hours (or over night). Fry with fry light and serve immediately.
Mains: Steak, roasted baby potatoes with sea salt, grilled courgette, carrot batons and pea's - FREE
Scrub baby pots, and slice thinly,
without cutting all the way through. Blanch in hot water for 3-5 mins, drain, dry, and sprinkle over sea salt. Roast for 20-30 mins, until brown and crispy on top. For the courgette, slice thinly using a grater or potato pealer. Season, and cook on a high griddle or grill for 4-6 mins.
Desert: Desert is always a problem in my house. My fiance is lactose intollerant, but all the SW recipes that are health call for fromage fraise, or quark, which he can't have. This means that deserts are always either jelly, fruit, or high syn! To make matters all the more entertaining, he is also quite fussy
So... probably a slice of freshly baked Spanish Orange Cake (3.5 SYNS per portion) with a scoop of low fat icecream for me (2 SYNS) and lactose free icecream for him (4 SYNS) (
Spanish orange cake - Recipes - Slimming World)
Drinks: White 'wine' spritzer using Sorelles Alcohol free chardonay - 2.5 SYNS
Total syns per person: 9.5
