Hands up - who loves a good curry! I know I do! However it isnt just the curry I love, its the bits that go with it - the poppadoms, the nan bread and my favourite of all - the onion bhajis. When mum said we were going to try the curry in the new slimming world book I brought I decided to take to good old pinterest to see if I could find a syn free recipe for my beloved onion bhajis. This is when I came across a little beauty.
Onion, sweet potato and chickpea bhajis!!!
Ingredients:
Onion, sweet potato and chickpea bhajis!!!
Ingredients:
- 1 Tin of chickpeas
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 onion (white or red)
- Spices - we used curry powder which you can alter for how spicy you like it
- 1 egg
Cook the sweet potato. When cooked add into a bowl with the chick peas and mash. Fry the onions in fry light and mix in. Add to bowl along with the egg and spice. Mix together and shape into balls. Spray with fry light and cook.
If you follow me on Instagram (if you dont there is a link of the left) - you will see I have been posting lost of pictures recently of my slimming world meals which I have been making. Back on Sunday I posted the below picture and I promised on Instagram I would share the recipe with you.
Potato Scones
You will need:
- Packet of Smash (I used Cheddar and Onion one)
- Tub of Cottage Cheese
- 2 eggs
- Spring Onions
- Fry Light
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl (except the fry light) so it goes like a dough. Mould the dough into small balls and spray with fry light, putting them on to a baking sheet or tin foil on a baking tray and into the oven on gas mark 4 for about 10 minutes.
As you can see I used these as a alternative to using bread to dip into soup, however I am planning on experimenting with them to see if you could make sweet scones with them (i'll let you know what I come up with). Obviously you could use the different kinds of smash (plain or the onion one) or you could add in any flavours that you wanted to. I will keep you updated with any other flavour experiments that I come up with!
I have decided that Fridays are now going to be Foodie Friday - I know that I have been throwing a lot of posts in there about Slimming World and my weight loss and I have been mooching about on Pinterest and Instagram for new ideas to spice up my weight loss. So I thought I would share some of the recipes that I have found, tested and loved with you.
So to start things off I wanted to share with you something I have been absolutely LOVING! I have made these about 3 or 4 times since I saw the recipe on Instagram.

A few weeks ago she posted a picture of some Oatmeal Pancakes she had make. I did a bit of tweaking (just using less porridge oaks) to make it slimming world friendly.

35g Porridge Oats
1 egg
1 egg white
50ml of Milk
I served these up with Total Greek yoghurt with 1tbsp of Maple Syrup stirred in for 2 syns and blueberries and strawberries.
I cannot even begin to tell you how lovely these are! I have been having these as a (still on plan) treat for my breakfast either on a Saturday or a Sunday. And for 2 syns (which you could omit if you wanted) they are a lovely breakfast treat.
Have you tried these??? What did you think???
If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen by foodie posts I have been posting recently. On Monday I should have been going out with the girls from work, but it got cancelled at the last minute as one of the girls could make it. If you have been reading posts you will have seen my picture of the planning board we have been using to plan our meals. Original post HERE
This week with me going to go out on Monday, mum planned to have something which I didn't like, Orange and Tarragon Chicken. I dont know what it is, there is just some something about Chicken and fruit which I don't like. Anyway with me not going out, and mum having the stuff in, I offered to cook my own tea. She had some extra chicken so I decided to knock up some Chicken Fried Rice as I also had some Brown rice we brought when we went shopping this week which I wanted to try.

It was SO easy to do. Basically I cooked the rice, I did half white, half brown with some peas. While that was cooking I fried some spring onions, onions and a garlic cube (frozen ones form Sainsburys are absolutely ace for putting in things like this). I then added the chicken and let it cook. When it was done I whisked up 2 eggs, chucked them in and stirred in the rice! It was absolutely gorgeous! You could obviously do it without the chicken if you are vegetarian and it would just be egg fried rice but I thought since we had the chicken anyway.
It was seriously tasty and such a cheap and easy meal - and best of all it was syn free on the slimming world plan!!!!
