I tried to make the creamy tomato and mushroom pasta sauce out of one of the magazines recently and it was disgusting. I think it would have been nice but the recipe asked you to put sweetener in. Will try it without next time. I also made the fairy cakes from the same magazine - they were good. I am going to try the filo cherry pies too.

Anybody got any good recipes that they can share?

The ones I got from the net are in the sticky thread at the top if anyone wants to see them. Just go to the last but one post I think.

hi well my fav thing on slimming world is asda instant noodles there free and quite tasty i take them to work for lunch thus saving a healthy option on bread which i can have later. i started slimming world in jan 3 and so far have lost 2stone 10 pounds, which i feel is slow as i have a lot to lose lost 3 this week so iam very pleased , hope every one eles is doing well

We don't have an Asda near here which is a shame as I love Asda. Hopefully they will build one soon.

Hi Angie I love asda's healthy eating range it's the tops.

Have just finished making free foods for the week ahead - lol. Thought if I get on top of it and make some things that I can eat for free on either day and keep it in the fridge (will freeze any left over) then it would at least be a start.

I have made quorn tikka masala - adapted recipe from Slimming World booklet - free on either day but best on a green day when you can have it with loads of rice.

I have also made creamy tomato and mushroom sauce (the same one that I made before but I left out the sweetener this time and it is lovely). Going to have it with pasta.

Still haven't got round to the filo cherry pies - probably just as well as they are not free and I would have probably eaten the lot - lol.

I need to get back into habit of actually making things. The only free foods I have are fruit and veg. That pasta sauce sounds nice.

hi, yes wish i could get in to the habbit of makeing stuff before hand the qorn tika sounds nice, which days do you find better, iam not that keen on meat so tend to stick to green days do you think haveing red day would speed my weight lose up?as i cant remember the last time i had a red day, which do you do ??

I tend to stick mainly to green days as I find them easier and more filling. I have started to have the occasional red day as I have heard that you lose weight quicker by combining them. I believe that you lose quicker by having all red days but it is not advised.

Have you got the 50 best ever recipe booklet? I got the recipe for quorn tikka out of there (it was originally for chicken). As most of the ingredients are bried herbs/spices it is great for a last minute dinner.

yes i keep meaning to have more red days but green are so much easier,
hope your all doing ok
