SLOW COOKER RICE PUDDING!
Preheat slow cooker on high while you sort the ingredients:
• 400ml Alpro Almond Milk, Unroasted/unsweetened (1 HeA or 2.5 syns)
• 200g rice pudding
• 3 tbs Granulated Sweetener
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 tsp Grated nutmeg (or less, it's strong)
• 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
• Toppings when finished: eg lower sugar jam (1.5 per tbsp), fruit (pomegranate here)
Directions:
Bung all in the slow cooker and stir to make a homogeneous mixture. set your alarm (unless you've a fancypants slowcooker) mine took 80-90 mins on high. Plate, add toppings, and serve!
Things to consider:
- This makes 3 good servings so you can scale the amounts of rice/milk.
- The bowl below is 3 syns total as I left it on a little long, so added another 100ml of milk to re-sludgify it.
- Recommend not washing the rice to keep the starch, so it's more sticky.
- Almond milk has been greatly reduced by the 2019 Slimming World plan - used to be 1L as HeA, now it's 400ml as your HeA. (Still 6 syns for 1L) Up to yourself if you're using your second HeA the day you make this

SW Speed/Free Soup!
Hardly groundbreaking stuff, but it's what I have when going for a big loss! I have this at lunch for a couple days of the week:
Bung the soup mix into boiling water, I've added 100g Pearl Barley (free) to thicken, add your spices, bring to the boil, and leave simmering for an hour (makes it more soupy!).
Spice-wise I've used 1 chicken stock, 1 herb infusion stock, pinch of salt & pepper, bay leaves, sprinkling of marjoram.
It's syn free; and calorie-wise it's 430 for the entire pot, and you'd be hard pressed to eat a quarter of it in a sitting! So around 107 cals for a meal, kaboom!

Is that a frozen soup mix? It’s not showing on my Tesco app.
I haven’t had soup in a while so I think I’ll give this a bash. I also read a recommendation for veg patties for dipping instead of bread so might give them a go. I’d really like to hit a maintain this week although it’s unlikely as I had an awful week last week and missed weigh in with hospital0 -

Not frozen, it's fresh (it's just diced carrot, swede, onion, potato, parsley iirc) found near the carrot batons and fresh-cut chips! If you try out these veg patties please me know how u get on 0 -

KIM'S NO-FLOUR CAKE!
TWO slices for 1.5 syn!
You will need:
• A baking tray
• Whisk (electric helps enormously)
• Pre-heated oven at 180
Cake:
• 6 Eggs separate into whites and yolk
• 60g Cocoa Powder
• 70g Granulated Sweetener
• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tbsp Water
• Frylight
Topping:
• Quark,
• whip in flavouring to suit (we used caramel)
• Sweetener if desired
• then top with fruit (eg strawberry slices)
Method:
• Separate the eggs into yolks and whites.
• Mix all of the ingredients EXCEPT THE WHITES together.
• Whisk egg whites separately until stiff peaks are formed
• Gently fold in the egg whites a bit at a time (to keep the air in the egg whites)
• Fry light a baking tray, add mixture
• Add to 180 oven for 25 minutes
• Allow cake to cool, then remove from tin
• Add topping and voila!
Things to note:
• Mixing all the ingredients except the egg white - This will be really thick and hard to mix, but that's perfectly fine! (it'll get fluffy with the egg whites)
• To check if the cake is ready, put a toothpick in the middle, it's ready when it comes out clean (no crumbs)!
• The entire cake is 12 syns (9.6 for the 60g cocoa powder, 2.333 for the sweetener) so depending on how you divide it and what toppings you have determines the syns! Dividing it into 16 is 0.75 syns each. Or if you eat the entire cake it's only 12 syns AWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHH

½ SYN PASTA CARBONARA!
INGREDIENTS (FOR 2 PEOPLE)
- 75g of macaroni pasta each (we had ¼ leftover)
- 340g gammon, diced (ie 2 gammon steaks, minus the fat) consider adding chorizo sausage
- 4 tbsp of cheese mix - perfect, used ~3 tbsp of water to turn into a paste. (I found this in Holland & Barrett "free and easy Cheese Flavour Sauce Mix" - white and yellow tub)
- added 5-10g of Pecarino cheese to taste (larger Tescos)
- 1 Brown Onion diced (or 2 red onions)
- 2 packs Button (or 1 chestnut) Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 Eggs
- 4 tbsp Quark
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- Handful Fresh Parsley chopped
- 200ml boiling water + veg stock
- Low Calorie Cooking Spray
- 1 tsp Mustard Powder (omit depending on taste of pepper added)
- Speed as a side-dish (I use salad or boiled veg w/stock pot)
METHOD:
- Boil the kettle and heat the pan(s)
- Dice gammon, mushrooms and onion, and fry. may need 2 pans as it's a large volume.
- cook pasta.
- Add the water/vegetable stock to the frying pan(s), stir frequently until stock reduces to a little fluid.
- Separately, whisk eggs, black pepper, quark and mustard in a bowl.
- Drain pasta and put into a large bowl. Add the cooked onions, mushrooms, stock and gammon to the bowl and stir well.
- Slowly add eggs, cheese and Quark mix to the bowl while stirring constantly. Do not do this on the heat otherwise you'll end up with scrambled egg!!
- Add parsley, plate up, sprinkle with more Pecarino cheese. Enjoy!0
