Steak night! Done with slimming world chips and veg in garlic. Feels like a treat even though it's syn free. Try to have it once a week on a day when I feel like i'm going to cave.

Love these too.Would never have even thought to try quorn before & as for mushypea curry,just sounds too weird,has to be made & tasted to be believed?

My faves are chicken cacciatore, Petes peanut butter curry and lentil bologneise

I LOVE chicken cacciatore! Is there a slimming world version?!!

Ratatouille! I do mine in the slowcooker (but could do it on the hob). Sliced aubergene, peppers, garlic, onion and whatever else (try mushrooms or courgettes).

Add seasoning, oregano and tin of tomatoes/puree.

Leave in slowcooker for 4 hours et viola. I make a huge batch and keep in the fridge, because it really makes a quick meal of simple foods. You can serve it with a pork chop, over a jacket, add pasta, grate cheese over top (HEa) and turn into pasta bake, blitz for soup, add couscous for quick micro work lunch. I love it!

Ratatouille is gorgeous!

I made the cheesecake today & it was so lovely. The only downsides was that the cereal bars set rock hard & I couldn't prise the base from the dish! The cream cheese & Options was lush - just like real cheesecake. Nom nom!

Also made the banana loaf, that has to be my all time favourite SW recipe.

Where's the recipe for the banana loaf?

I have lots of favourite 'meals' that I do but a favourite VERY SIMPLE and easy dessert is the quicky cheescake:

quark with 2 white choc options mixed into it - 2 alpen light bars slightly warmed and mashed into a small dish and spread the quark mixture over the top - to me this is JUST LIKE a new york style cheesecake and is ONLY 10 syns for the whole cheesecake or just 4 syns if you use the alpen lights as a heb.

Half of course is 2 syns or 5 syns.

Lovely.

do you have to bake this cheesecake ??

Sorry only just seen this. There is indeed!

Serves 2:

2 cloves chopped garlic
1 onion, chopped
Few sticks of celery, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
5 rashers bacon, chopped and fat removed
2 chicken breasts
Tinned chopped tomatoes
250ml chicken stock dissolved in water
Knorr herb stock pot
1 tea spoon mixed herbs
Half a tea spoon of oregano
Half a tea spoon of basil
1 bay leaf

Fry the chicken breasts (whole) in fry light until white on the outside but not cooked fully and set aside. in the same pan, fry the onions until starting to go soft and add the chopped celery carrots garlic and bacon and fry for a further 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf, chopped tomatoes, mixed herbs, oregano basil and some cracked black pepper. Leave for 5 minutes and then place the chicken breasts into the mix, as well as adding the knorr stock pot and stirring it through (it takes a while to melt). Place the lid on the pan and cook for 30-45minutes, stirring every now and then and perhaps adding more made up chicken stock if you find it too thick. And then... Serve! Lovely with some sw egg fried rice and white cabbage.

Enjoy! I believe pete also has a few variations if this in his recipe thread.

Definitely need a "cheesecake" in my life right now it sounds amazing! Anyone know which Quark is better to use though, Asda or Tesco's? Have heard there is a difference in texture?

Also heard a lot about Pete's.peanut butter curry, could someone point me into the direction of the recipe please?
