Chicken and chorizo paella- this is a total cheat’s paella, and not endorsed by Spain but honestly it’s totally delicious, and reminiscent of holidays in the sunshine and happiness! If you need something to cheer you up this week I thoroughly recommend trying it for dinner one night! The beauty of chorizo if that it has SO much flavour you don’t need to use a huge amount for it to really shine through. Find the recipe by searching ‘paella’ on the blog (https://www.theslimmingfoodie.com/chicken-and-chorizo-paella/)#Slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #sw #swuk #slimmingworldjourney #slimmingworldfamily #swinsta #swusa #slimmingworldusa #slimmingfoodie #weightloss #healthy #healthyrecipes #food #foodie

✨This was the moment, in August last year, that I finished writing my cookbook! ✨After months of recipe testing/ feeding all of my neighbours I was finally happy with all 100 recipes in here! I cannot WAIT to be able to share these recipes with you! With chapters including one-pot wonders, easy mid-week meals, savoury traybakes, family favourites and Friday specials, there are recipes for every single day- definitely a chance to throw off that lockdown cooking fatigue!✨The book is coming out on April 29th but you can already pre-order it from several retailers- in fact if you pre-order it now from Amazon (the link is in my bio and here: https://amzn.to/3otzBdU), they will apply their price guarantee, which means that if the price decreases between now and the release date, you will only be charged the lowest price- PLUS you won’t be charged until it is dispatched! Pre-orders help HUGELY as hopefully they will help it to be stocked in more places when it is released!✨Thank-you so much for all of the lovely support and especially if you have already pre-ordered! Please do let me know if you do!Pip xxx#cookbook #theslimmingfoodie #authorsofinstagram #authorssupportingauthors #mumsinbusiness #foodblogger #easyrecipes #slimmingworld #healthyrecipes #newbook @octopus_books_ @hhbagencyltd thank-you to @roarfilmsfood for providing the motion graphics for the social posts!

Anyone suffering from cooking fatigue yet?! I think having the kids at home all the time means that constantly producing lunches and dinners just exhausts me some days! That’s when I like to have something nice and easy up my sleeve which is quick to do and doesn’t really involve any preparation.This chicken pizzaiola is one of those meals- it’s so quick and easy to make, it’s really delicious and it just takes the pressure off mealtime. I also find that everyone in the family will eat it (have to make sure there’s no cheese on one portion) so one meal for all!What are your go-to easy-peasy meals?

Chicken fajita traybakeThis was my lazy solution to making a takeaway style dinner without having to stand over the pan! I LOVE chicken fajitas, and they are also a great fakeaway because they are so easy to keep healthy. Of course they are pretty quick to cook even in a pan, but this way you just need to do the chopping, throw it in the tray and then you can forget about it while it cooks!I love chicken fajita mix in wraps, but it's also lovely in a bowl- I serve it with basmati rice (fresh lime juice squeezed over the top), crunchy shredded little gem lettuce, refried beans (sometimes I make them, sometimes I buy them), and then sometimes guacamole too.If you've followed my blog for a while you'll know how much I love a good spice mix, and I always make my spice mixes up in batches so that I have it ready for a quicker meal next time. You can find my fajita spice mix recipe by typing 'fajita spice mix' into the search bar on the blog (https://www.theslimmingfoodie.com/fajita-spice-mix/).Find this chicken fajita traybake recipe by searching on the blog, or swipingup in today's stories.#chickenfajita #mexicanfood #fakeaway #slimmingworld #slimmingworldrecipes #healthyfood #theslimmingfoodie #easymeals

I’m reaching that point where I REALLY need to go shopping, so I’m trying to use up all the bits and pieces lying around! I’m finding soup the best option for lunches at the moment because it means I’m not overindulging in bread and it’s such a good way to get a few portions of veg in. I also find that if I blend it enough the kids will eat it too so I’m not trying to make everyone different lunches which is what usually happens! I’ve just made a huge pot of this soup which is loosely based on a Tuscan chicken and bean soup! I started with homemade chicken stock, so I already had cooked carrots and onions to blend in, but you could easily fry the onions first and cook the carrots in a bought chicken stock. I added a tin of butter beans, a tin of cannellini beans, about a tsp each of salt, pepper, dried basil, dried thyme and oregano- some frozen green veg (broccoli, kale and courgette), but fresh spinach or kale would be great- and then some leftover roast chicken. I pureed it to thicken it, but ended up pureeing everything which worked fine but I only meant to half purée it really! Finished off with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It’s made a huge pot so I’ve got some for the freezer and some for lunches this week. #soup #lockdowncooking #slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #sw #swuk #slimmingworldjourney #slimmingworldfamily #swinsta #swusa #slimmingworldusa #slimmingfoodie #weightloss #healthy #healthyrecipes #food #foodie

Do you use a slow-cooker? I love the hands-off approach of slow-cooking. This honey garlic chicken is always a winner as it’s very quick to throw together but goes with lots of different things- have it with rice, stir-fried veg, noodles, salad (grated carrot/ crispy shredded cabbage and spring onions is perfect!).

Getting back into the swing of things today so I made a HUGE batch of bolognese to see us through a few meals!

🥣 Rich leftover turkey soup 🥣 (save this post!)Anyone else starting to need something a bit more veg packed than a sandwich?! I really fancied some soup tonight, and this is a soup I often do with leftover chicken, but it’s also perfect for using up turkey! It’s simple but delicious, all you need is:1 large onion, finely chopped1 leek, trimmed and finely chopped2 large cloves garlic, diced1 large carrot, peeled and diced2 small (or 1 large) sweet potato, peeled and diced1 litre chicken stock (or turkey stock if you’ve made it!)A handful fresh parsleySalt and pepperLeftover turkey, diced up smallLow calorie cooking spray or spray oil1. Fry the onion in low calorie cooking spray for 5 minutes and then add the leek.2. Fry the onion and leek gentlyfor a further 10 minutes, and then stir in the garlic and fry for 2 minutes.3. Add in the carrot, sweet potato and chicken stock and simmer for 30 minutes.4. Add in the parsley and seasoning, and then blitz with a hand blender or in a food processor.5. Add in the diced turkey, simmer for 10 minutes and serve.If I don’t have much meat left, I also dice up a large white potato and add in with the turkey, simmering for a bit longer (about 15 minutes) until the potato is cooked through, this adds great texture and filling power! #turkeysoup #christmasleftovers #slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #sw #swuk #slimmingworldjourney #slimmingworldfamily #swinsta #swusa #slimmingworldusa #slimmingfoodie #weightloss #healthy #healthyrecipes #food #foodie
