It’s a while since I’ve made any new desserts as I’ve been too busy enjoying those that are already on the website.  But I couldn’t resist trying this one – and what a yummy, chocolatey dessert it makes!  They are 1sp each on No Count or you can have two for 3sp.  If following WW Freestyle, they are 2sp each and two of them would be 5sp. Ingredients (makes 6): 60g oats, blitzed in a food processor (see note at the bottom of the page) 40g Flora light 2 eggs, lightly beaten 170g 0% Total yogurt 1 tsp vanilla extract an 11g sachet of Cadbury’s Highlights Sweet Freedom choc shot ..read more

Hi everyone! I made this on Monday – adapting a recipe in this month’s WW magazine – ‘Tomato and Parma Ham Pasta Bake’ – and it was absolutely delicious and well worth trying if you’re looking for something new to add to your menu.  It is really quick and easy to make so ideal if you’re having a busy day.  You can make it free on No Count by using 25g of grated Protein cheese per person, instead of the feta.  With the feta, it comes in at 1sp per portion on No Count and 10sp per portion if following WW Freestyle. Ingredients (serves 4): 280g wholewheat fusilli pasta 16 bacon m ..read more

I’ve adapted the recipe from the new WW Bakes book to make this cake just 2 points a slice on No Count (a slice is an eighth of the cake).  Altering the amount of flour used made the cake quite dense and it benefited from some of the blueberry juice to moisten it.  It was very tasty though! If following WW Freestyle, each slice would be 4 points. Ingredients (serves 8): 80g Flora Lightest (or other low fat spread that is 1sp for 10g) 1 tbsp olive oil 3 heaped tsp Sukrin Gold (or other NC sweetener) 3 eggs 100g low fat natural yogurt the grated zest of one lemon 1 tsp vanilla extrac ..read more

These muffins are so quick and easy to bake and make a great dessert served with 0% Yeo Valley creme fraiche and strawberries!  They are 1 point each on No Count and, if following WW Freestyle, they would be 3 points each.

Many thanks to Marie for letting me have this recipe yesterday. I thought I’d send out straight away for those of you who are vegans/vegetarians or those who just fancy a meat-free day. This is a lovely filling loaf which makes at least 6 portions and is free on No Count or WW Flex. Ingredients: 175g whole green or brown lentils 110g yellow split peas 570ml vegetable stock 1/2 tsp Herbes de Provence Frylight (or tbsp of healthy oil from daily allowance) a medium onion, peeled and chopped 1/2 green pepper, deseeded and chopped 2 carrots, peeled & chopped 2 sticks of celery, chopped 1 fat ..read more

This dessert combines two of my favourites which makes it doubly delicious – and perfect for summer!  They are 1 point each on No Count and 2 points each if following WW Flex.

Meanwhile, mix the yogurt with the P ..read more

I decided to make these a while ago and finally got around to doing so last night.  I love salmon and this recipe makes a fabulous dinner which is also extremely filling!  Hubby and mum gave them the thumbs up and couldn’t believe they were nearly No Count!  The whole recipe (all 4 of them) is 2 points on No Count so it’s up to you whether you use one of your weeklies or not for this meal.  On WW Flex, each enchilada would be 5 points. Ingredients (serves 4): 4 salmon fillets, cooked 4 WW wraps 1 tbsp olive oil (from daily allowance) use a calorie-controlled spray if follo ..read more

This new, delicious recipe comes from my Connect friend Mands (@mands5781).  It’s her third go at baking with beans: this time a light, fruity carrot cake which is as soft and squidgy as Blondies – hence the term “Carrotinies”.  They are 1 point each on No Count and WW Freestyle, or 2 pieces for 3sp.  I made these yesterday and they really are scrumptious – very light and fruity!  Thank you Mands for another fantastic recipe! (Photos courtesy of Mands.) Ingredients (makes 12): For the ‘Blondie’ base: 400g tin of cannellini beans, drained and washed 3 eggs 28g Lurpak lighte ..read more

This new recipe is from my Connect buddy Mands (@mands5781).  She decided to try and pimp up some chicken breast mince to make these burgers as chicken can be quite a bland mince and can go dry easily. This recipe really injects flavour and moisture into them so we hope you’ll like them – they were a real hit with her husband and son. The recipe makes 10 sizeable burgers that don’t shrink too much and, as you can see, fill a brioche bun properly!!!  You can have 1 for 0sp, 3 for 1sp, 5 for 2sp on #flex and they are 0sp each on #nocount.   Ingredients (makes 10): 600g chicken br ..read more
