The chilli bowl looks amazing! Bought some wraps earlier so I'm going to have a go at it later, I doubt it'll look as nice as that though! 
Here are a few meals I've had over the last few weeks:
Soo.. we have smash chicken and beef savoury rice, tuna pasta salad, mango and chilli chicken with golden savoury rice, chicken, bacon and cheese salad and onion and bacon stuffed jacket potato with reduced fat sour cream!

It was the best diet tea I've made!! So delish!!
Here is the link for the hairy dieters. The difference I made was I added half a tin of washed baked beans to the chilli and some peppers and mushrooms.
If you need me to email the recipe give me a shout

And the salt and pepper chicken too!!
I can't believe that I've steered clear of Slimmers World diet for so long (always been a WW girl) but I absolutely adore the food I'm eating. I have been on the diet for nearly 6 weeks and have barely repeated a meal as there are so many tempting recipes to try.
Today it is fish and chips with mushy pea curry, tomorrow I'm trying out Pete's Peanut Curry and as I am off work this week I'm going to try making SW KFC chicken and Pete's Pasties for packed lunches for my oh. I have taken photos of some of the meals I've had but as a newbie I can't post them yet.

hi thanks for pointing that out, what a wombat- thats what happens when you 'cut and paste' lol. sorry, thats what ginos recipe says but im sure i probably used a bit more. just keep adding until its cooked .
now then the salt and pepper chicken - that was fab too.
so,
SALT AND PEPPER CHICKEN - can also be done with quorn, or just make the recipe up to the chicken bit and stir the chips in.
recipe courtesy of MADAME LAMINX
serves 4
4 chicken breasts chopped into strips
2 onions sliced
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
a bunch of spring onions top tailed and chopped into small bits
3 green or red chillis ( i used a teaspoon of red lazy chilli and it was plenty hot enough for us)
a green pepper - i didnt have green so used red chopped into small chunks
sea salt and pepper
fry a pan with lots frylight, add onions and green pepper fry over medium heat to soften
add garlic, spring onions, chilli to pan fry for a further minute
add chicken strips, throw in several pinches of sea salt - i used about 4 pinches. then several pinches of pepper - now the recipe didnt state ground or freshly ground so i added 2 pinches of ground black pepper, then stir fry the whole lot together until chicken cooked through. once cooked i tried it and added another 2 pinches of sea salt and some freshly ground pepper about 5 turns of the grinder and it was perfect.
let me know how you get on. im dying to try petes peanut curry too. x

Really easy Emsie - instant potato (I used tesco value), paprika and fresh lemon thyme, mixed well, dip chicken in egg and then into the smash mixture. Cook for about 25 mins, then top with a bit of cheese and pop back in oven for another 5 mins
