Slimming World Creamy Coleslaw

In my humble opinion nothing beats a great dollop of coleslaw to add a bit extra to a meal, but on Slimming World coleslaw is about a bazillion syns and to be honest I need all my syns for chocolate! So I have created and now perfected my own gorgeous creamy coleslaw and better yet its packed with speed food, crammed with vitamins and fibre and low in syns  fact its only 5 for the lot and it will serve about 6!

• Half a Red Cabbage
• Half a White Cabbage
• 2 Large Onion (I prefer red but white will works too)
• 4 large Carrots washed but I don't peel 
• 5 Table Spoons Quark or fat free greek yoghurt
• 5 Table Spoons Mayonaise
• 1 Teaspoon mustard powder
• a tablespoon white wine vinegar

I use my food processor to grate all the ingredients but you can use a grater or mandolin (which is what I used before I got my processor).

• Grate or shred all the veg into a bowl

It gets messy!

• Mix in Quark mayonaise vinegar and mustard powder
• Stir well

Refrigerate covered until ready to eat, if you can make this in the morning for use at dinner time the flavour have a change to develop and its lush, but still yummy if you cant wait and need to scoff it asap!

Serve with anything you like, here it is with my rainbow rice and chicken kiev

A Salad Is Not Just For Summer

You all know we've been trying to make healthy changes in Monkeyfeet HQ and I'm embarking on my #mummymakeover to try to lose some weight and trim and tone. So I was really pleased to have the opportunity to work with Florette who have just launched a fab new website. They sent me out a lovely goody bag with a brill sports bottle to help me out when Im back to my running, some vouchers for thier lovely salad (of course) 'A Salad For All Seasons' recipe book by Harry Eastwood.

The book is full of scrummy ideas for salads all year round, and I was really inspired to make up my own Healthy Salad recipes, but ones that are suitable for winter time. So here's my current favourite lunchtime treat..

.

Winter Warmer Salad
1/2 bag of Rocket
1/2 courgette peeled into ribbons
6 Cubes Feta
1/2 chicken breast, cubed (leftovers from previous dinner_
6 pistachio nuts halved
1/2 small sweet potato cubed and baked (we used leftovers from the evening before)
Chilli and Garlic to taste

Heat a tiny drizzle of oil in a pan and throw in your courgette chilli and garlic and fry gently for a few minutes

Toss in the nuts sweet potato and chicken and allow to warm through.

Add the feta and stir heat for a further 2 minute then add the rocket, put a lid on the pan and toss all the ingredients to mix, serve immediately.

This is so moreish I promise you will love it
