Syn Free Cheese Scones

Wow.

I was over the moon to come over this recipe.

I am a real lover of anything savoury, bread, crisps and yes, scones.

Working in a cafe, serving them daily is a very cruel task when trying to be good.

So, as soon as I found this recipe on PINTEREST I rushed out to get the ingredients to give them a go.

I was not disappointed :)

RECIPE:

Pack of smash

Three eggs

250g fat free cottage cheese

125g fat free natural yogurt

1tsp dyjon mustard

 1 tbsp mustard seeds

salt and pepper to taste.

30g low fat cheddar cheese (A option- count as 6 syns if not using as A)

Mix all ingredients in a bowl apart from the cheddar cheese. Add a little water if needed to bind together into the consistency of dough.

Roll and cut out. Wash with egg. Add a little cheese onto the top of each and bake in a 180/200' oven for aprox 20mins.

Enjoy.

Hunters chicken sw friendly recipe.

HUNTERS CHICKEN AND WEDGES WITH BEANS.

FREE on EE

To make the BBQ Sauce

1. 3 shallots
2. Half a teaspoon of chilli powder (or more, if you like it hot)
3. Half a carton of passata — about 250ml
4. 4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
5. 4 tablespoons of artificial sweetener

To make the chicken

1. The above BBQ sauce
2. 4 chicken breasts
3. 8 slices of bacon
4. 112g cheddar
5. Green veg, to serve

To make the sauce

1. Peel and finely chop the shallots. Put them in a frying pan, sprinkle the chilli powder over the top and fry them for about six minutes until they’re soft
2. Once the shallots have softened just add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Keep the sauce on a medium to high heat and stir it occasionally — it should thicken up nicely

For the chicken

1. Pre-heat the oven to about 210C. Spray a roasting tin/baking tray with Fry Light and lay the chicken breasts in them. Then slit the breast down the middle to make a pocket
2. When the sauce is ready, spread it in the slits and over the top of the chicken breasts
3. Take the bacon and either wrap it round the breast or lay it over the top. Then put the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes
4. Sprinkle an ounce of the cheese over the top of the breast and put back into the oven for another 10 minutes
5. Serve it with the vegetables

I got the recipe here.

We all enjoyed this, there was too much of the bbq style sauce left so I've popped it into the freezer for another night as we'll definitely be making it again.

I also made some home-made wedges, by cutting some potatoes into wedge shapes and par-boiling them, then spraying with oil and adding a sachet of mixed herbs and spices. We had baked beans with it too. Very filling. I know, technically, I should have had this with a side salad or veg to get in my 3rd superfree, however, there are totally onions in the sauce ;-)

Enjoy.

Saturday night's Fakeaway...

This weeks fake-away was pizza...

Of a sort, it was slimming-world friendly pizza.

Made using Cauliflower as a base, I was more than a little skeptical to start with but it was a definite hit and I will be using the recipe again.

It doesn't seem very inviting but is tastier than it looks!

CAULIFLOWER BASE PIZZA.

1/2 a head of cauliflower

1 egg

seasoning

1/2 a light mozerella (I used my A option for this)

toppings of your choice...

In a bowl, grate up the cauliflower, put into the microwave and keep checking every couple of minutes until it looks cooked and is soft, I think it took me aprox 6.5mins.

Add the egg and season, I added some paprika to the mix too.

On some baking parchment flatten the mixture and bake blind in a 200` oven for about 15-20mins.

Once it has a golden colour add your toppings to it.

I used, ham, tomato puree and mushrooms, some more paprika and my mozerella cheese.

I put it back into the oven for around 15 minutes.

It was delicious. You couldn't really tell it was cauliflower.

Enjoy.
