the only thing i find hard is cooking for the family my 2 yr old cant eat the same as me my other half is trying to put on weight so cooking in our house is 3 different meals bloody tiring and the meals take ages to cook

Why............. i have a skinny daughter to put weight on (2.5), a baby of 15mths and a son of 5. We all eat sw meals. If i do quorn bolognese i add a tsp of olive oil and extra cheese to daughters, just extra cheese to babies and son has same as me (28g HEA cheese) - with the sw quiche i cut cubes of cheese for daughter on the side as well as her cucumber and we have beans with it which is an extra fruit/veg portion.....


If you need any tips let me know as i would never cook 4 seperate meals! Even when we have sausages i have joe's they have normal and they have mash, broccoli and beans whereas i have a jacket and broccoli - it becomes habit if you do it long enough!

I haven't got a picture but this is definately worth a try and free on a green day by using chicken and breadcrumbs as a HEb and cheese as a HEa my partner and kids love it:
Motzarella Chicken
Take a chicken fillet and flatten it with a cleaver until it is the same width all the way through then coat in flour, egg and then breadcrumbs.
Dry fry quickly to crisp the breadcrumbs until golden.
Transfer the chicken onto a baking tray.
Meanwhile chop some tomatoes and garlic and cook with a little spray oil in a pan (just use same pan) and add a little basil or any other herbs you fancy until tomatoes are softened.
Pile tomatoes ontop of the chicken.
Slice some reduced fat motzarella and put ontop of chicken.
If you have any cheese allowance left put a little grated parmasen ontop as well.
Place chicken in the oven for approx 8 - 10 mins until cooked though and cheese has melted.

It is lovely with either baby potatoes or chips and veg.
Hope you like.

I agree - I have a 2 yr old and she eats SW stuff all the time! One of her faves is Quorn bolognese!

If you're worried about it though, do like Natalie suggested and just add some more fat to hubby's and child's end dish.

I agree too! Let hubby have extra bread and potatoes/carbs/meat etc and a few more treats. Bigger portions for him and he should be happy! I try to cook family friendly meals for us all, makes life so much easier.

[Kim&Leah]

i am that greedy i just made another plate of chips hehehe

 

[sanicholl]

Kim&Leah, I tried the chips last night and they were so yummy. I had left them in the fridge over night and when I got home they were ok and nice and dry so cooked them. They were so crispy (I had left the skin on so this helped) and I think I have converted my two kids as well although my youngest (18 months) will eat anything anyway! Will definately be doing this again! xx

Could you please let me have the recipe for the syn free panacakes, thanks.

 

[*angie*]

Syn free pancakes;

Separate an egg into two bowls - white and yolk.

Whisk the white and add 3 tsp sweetner (or to taste), whisking til white and meringue-ish
Add some vanilla essence to the yolk.

Add the yolk to the white and fold together - this is your batter.

frylight a pan and add all of the batter, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon.

be gentle - this pancake is fragile! leave completely alone until you can slide a fish slice (etc) underneath, carefully turn it over to cook the second side. again, leave it alone until done, then lift it out onto your plate and add your toppings and enjoy!

good with fruit and yog (like I had) or lemon and sweetner for a more trad pancake

NO SYNS!!!
