🌶 Flaming fajita traybake 🌶Satisfying, spicy chicken fajita mix is so easy to make with the traybake method. Simply chuck in all of the ingredients and then it’s hands off until they are ready! Serve in wraps or with rice and black beans.Make this dish vegetarian by replacing the chicken with butternut squash or sweet potato. You can bulk it out by stirring in some drained canned beans, such as black bean or pinto beans, 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time.Find the recipe here 👉👉 https://www.theslimmingfoodie.com/chicken-fajita-traybake/Photo credit: @christerryphoto Props styling: @tamsinweston Food styling: @henriettaclancy #fajitas #traybake #recipes #easyrecipes #healthyrecipes

⭐️beef & Guinness stew⭐️A classic winter warmer, I love the depth of flavour and colour that you get from the Guinness in this.Usually I just use casserole steak but yesterday I cooked a small brisket joint in the sauce and then chopped it up once it was tender.

⭐️sweet potato baked onion bhajis⭐️Soft, sweet onions are encased in a light, Indian-inspired, spiced sweet potato batter, then baked in the oven to reduce the amount of oil that would be needed if you were deep frying them.The oven baking also gives them a satisfying crunch on the outside. Serve these alongside a curry or a dhal, or simply have them as a delicious healthy snack.These are one of the most popular recipes on The Slimming Foodie blog, and are also on p.169 of my cookbook!Find the recipe here👉👉 https://www.theslimmingfoodie.com/the-best-healthy-baked-onion-bhajis/@octopus_books_ Photo credit @christerryphoto Props styling @tamsinweston Food styling @henriettaclancy #Slimmingworld #caloriecounting #theslimmingfoodie #slimmingfoodie #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes #food #foodie #foodblogger #familyrecipes

⭐️Cover reveal ⭐️This is the cover of my new book, The Slimming Foodie In One 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻I spent the first part of this year writing and recipe testing this book, then had the photoshoot in August/ September, then the team at Octopus Publishing Group did everything else to whip it into shape.I am really proud of this- one thing I LOVE about it is that I have a photo for EVERY SINGLE RECIPE, which, if you look through most cookbooks just isn’t the case. It was really important to me and I think it just makes it so much better because I always want to see what the final dish should look like!It’s out on the 14th April next year, which I know is a bit of a wait but now it has to go to print and if you want to pre-order it then you can do so here: https://amzn.to/3FgGR55@octopus_books_ Photography: @christerryphoto Props styling: @tamsinweston Food styling: @henriettaclancy @octaviaskitchen Assistant food styling @sophdoingfood

Hi 👋 I just thought I’d introduce myself here as 99% of my photos are of food! I’m Pip, and I live in South Devon (right on the edge of Dartmoor) with my husband Darren (who is a filmmaker and shoots my recipe videos for me through @roarfilmsfood but also does drone filming via @arcadeaerials ), my 2 daughters who are 11 and 9, and my dog, Lupin.I’ve always loved to cook (and eat!), and I started The Slimming Foodie blog in 2015, when I joined Slimming World and was struggling to find recipes for the sorts of meals that I wanted to make.Prior to working full-time on the blog I worked in Human Resources for a magazine publisher in London, but I have had all sorts of jobs including ice-cream van driver, casino waitress and water park lifeguard! Now I work on the blog full time, I work with brands on sponsored posts (and thank-you so much to everyone who shows support on those!), I create branded recipe videos alongside my husband (we even built a set kitchen in our house to film in, because our actual kitchen is falling apart 😆), and in 2020 I wrote my first cookbook! I have just finished writing my 2nd cookbook, which is just one-pot recipes and will be released in April 2022!For fun I love spending time on the beach and walking on the moor, visiting new places and finding hidden food gems with my family, and nattering with friends over a cup of tea. I LOVE shopping too, so on occasional trips back to London for work I usually manage to squeeze in a little bit of retail therapy. That’s me in a nutshell, thanks so much for following and engaging with the content you see appearing on Facebook and Instagram, and remember that there are over 400 recipes on my blog (http://www.theslimmingfoodie.com) which are free to access!Pip x#healthyfood #caloriecounting #slimmingworlduk #recipes #easyrecipes #familyrecipes

⭐️fry-up⭐️ reduced fat sausages, beans, fried egg, bacon, mushrooms and chipped potatoes- that’s my favourite combo- what’s yours?Last year threw us right out of our little Saturday routine of taking the girls swimming followed by a brunch fry-up!It works for my family because I can tailor the plate to everyone’s individual taste without cooking different meals… no beans for child one, no bacon or sausage for child 2 🙄😆.I think a fry-up also just makes me feel ‘weekend-ey’ which is really important when my husband and I both work from home!Happy weekend!#fryup #brunch #comfortfood

⭐️9th birthday⭐️It’s my youngest daughter’s 9th birthday today, and she requested a hedgehog cake (for 4 years of her 9 she has asked for a 🦔!).My cakes are always pretty haphazard and never polished but the kids are never worried about the ‘homemade’ look 😆.I use a round cake tin (the same you would use for a football cake) to bake a chocolate cake (I always use the Brooklyn blackout cake recipe from the @hummingbbakery cookbook), I then covered in melted chocolate with honeycomb pieces mixed in and sprinkled with flake, with a few spiky bits sticking up.Usually I use edible eyes but this year I recycled the eyes from an uneaten M&S Ombles Easter egg 👀!To make the toadstools I just made mini muffins and covered in red icing and Pearl sprinkles. I also used a muffin for the hedgehog’s nose and ears! #birthdaycake #baking #hedgehog #kidscake

⭐️American style fluffy pancakes⭐️These are always the birthday/ special occasion breakfast of choice in our household. I love them with bacon and maple syrup, my 11 year old loves them with white chocolate spread and raspberries, and my 8 year old loves them plain or with peanut butter! Sometimes I bake blueberries or blackcurrants into the batter.If I’m doing pancakes just for me I will do the healthier version with oats, but here’s my recipe for the special occasion ones: My fluffy pancake recipe (makes 12)150g plain flour1.5 tsp baking powder35g caster sugar1 egg200ml milk Whisk the ingredients together until you have no lumps, then heat a good non-stick frying pan with a little butter brushed over the bottom of the pan. On a high heat, spoon in 2 tbsp mixture per pancake, sizzle for approx 15 seconds and then bring down the heat to cook through the mixture without burning the bottom. Flip the pancake over with a spatula after about 30 seconds, and bring the heat up again to cook the other side. I usually fit in 3 pancakes per batch! #pancakes #pancakerecipe #brunch

⭐️chilli con carne ⭐️We often used to have chilli on a Saturday night but it’s ages since we have! I’ve made a big batch today (recipe here: https://www.theslimmingfoodie.com/chilli-con-carne/) - I haven’t added the chilli powder/flakes yet as I’ll put these in once I’ve taken out a couple of portions for the girls. I’ve actually realised I like black beans/pinto beans much more than kidney beans so I am adding in a ton of each to this batch! For a Saturday night treat I serve this up with rice, homemade guacamole, cheese and a handful of tortilla chips 😋. #chilli #autumncooking #healthyfood #chilliconcarne

#ad ⭐️Creamy paprika turkey spaghetti⭐️A creamy sweet paprika sauce with garlicky fried tomatoes, lemon, basil and flavoursome turkey mince make this a tasty and easy family favourite, with al dente spaghetti and ribbons of fresh courgette. This is a great meal to feed the whole family, the kids love the subtle flavours and creamy consistency, and turkey mince is a great option for us as my youngest daughter often finds red meat too chewy. I love the fresh flavours, and the fact that it’s super quick and easy to throw together, with less than 10 minutes of prep time, and only 20 minutes of hands on cooking time- it’s always a bonus to find a meal that everyone will eat and enjoy!Turkey mince is now a regular on my shopping list, it’s a low-fat and protein packed alternative to red meat, & has its own unique flavour which works so well in many dishes.500g turkey breast mince (only 2% fat) is currently available in @sainsburys with a ‘save 40p’ promotion.Here’s the recipe (serves 4):Spray oil300g cherry tomatoes, halved2 shallots, finely diced2 cloves of garlic, crushed500g turkey mince150ml hot chicken stock1 lemon, zested1 tablespoon sweet paprikaSalt and pepper250g spaghetti1 large courgette, ribboned with a potato peeler100g light cream cheese60g Red leicester cheese, gratedFresh basil, torn (to serve)Prepare the ingredientsGently fry the tomatoes, garlic & shallots in spray oil for 5 minutes.Add the turkey mince & stir-fry for 3 minutes, breaking up any clumps as it cooks.Add the chicken stock, lemon zest & paprika, season with salt and pepper, & leave to simmer gently.Put the spaghetti on to cookWhen the spaghetti has 2 minutes left to cook, stir the cream cheese into the turkey sauce until it is melted & the sauce is creamy.Drain the spaghetti, reserving a little of the cooking water.Add the spaghetti into the sauce, along with the ribboned courgette, sprinkle over the grated red leicester, and mix everything together thoroughly, coating the spaghetti and courgette in the sauce, and melting the grated cheese.Scatter the torn basil leaves over the top, & serve. Season with extra black pepper, or chilli flakes.

⭐️peri-peri chicken⭐️Find the recipe here: https://www.theslimmingfoodie.com/cheeky-nandos-style-peri-peri-chicken/One of my favourite fakeaways is a Nando’s-style platter- peri-peri chicken which I cook in a griddle pan just to get the nice charred lines over it. I make fries in the ActiFry, some corn cobs and some griddles courgette, then serve up with some of the bought Nando’s chilli sauce, and occasionally garlic bread too 😋What’s your favourite weekend fakeaway?#periperi #nandos #fakeaway #comfortfood
