Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken & Pearl Barley Risotto

It is no secret that I am a true lover of all types of risotto and this Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken & Pearl Barley Risotto is a great way to have a fantastic risotto dish with a pearl barley twist. Using pearl barley is much healthier than using traditional risotto rice types such as Arborio rice, Carnaroli or the shorter-grain risotto rice, Vialone Niro but luckily, as the barley requires a longer cooking time than traditional risotto rice, the slow…

Slim-Friendly Mushroom Risotto

When eating a good risotto, it is very easy to feel like it’s a very indulgent dish and usually, it’s with good reason too as risotto is generally made with the finest olive oils, lashings of butter and of course, let’s not forget that good splash or two of good quality white wine.

Mighty Beef & Mixed Pepper Meatzza

This is my take on the SlimmingWorld Mighty Meatzza. It is an absolutely fantastic little twist on a classic pizza but without the dough base making this a delicious and healthy twist on a classic takeaway dish. By using minced beef that is 5% fat or less, this is a low-fat cross between a 100% beef burger and a classic pizza. It's a much healthier takeaway alternative to classic pizza and with a side of SlimmingWorld syn-free fries something the…
