Roasted cheesey tomato salad , tasty and slimming world friendly

Slimming world

That word should be added to the swear jar in our house the amount of times it is muttered under my otherhalfs breath!!

Ive been doing slimming world on and off for 3 years now (as long as little man has been on the planet), being a mum I find my self reaching for the sweetie tin more times than I can count. Also since having a little person in the house we have way more snack food than I promised my pre-baby self I would ever buy!

The advantage of slimming world is that with a little planning you don't really feel like your on a diet, however I generally find my self reaching for the same trusty recipes time and time again. Today as I was grating some extra cheese for Zach pizza I decided to go out an experiment a little.

Behold!!

Roasted cheesey tomato salad

Ingredients

Mixed salad
30g of cheddar cheese - healthy extra A
60g wholemeal roll - healthy extra B
Tomatoes

1. Cut your tomatoes in half. I used cherry tomatoes for this as that all we had in the fridge but I would seriously suggest using normal tomatoes
2. Stuff your tomatoes with your cheese
3. Roast under the grill for approximately 5 minutes or until the cheese start to bubble
4. Wash your favourite SPEED vegetables or salad
5. Serve with as soon as the tomatoes are ready

Enjoy!!

The forbidden corner - North Yorkshire

Hi Guys We recently spent a weekend at our friends in North Yorkshire so I thought I would write a little review of The Forbidden Corner . Photocredit Firstly I will start out with a simple statement BOOK EARLY . When we were looking for things to do we talked about the forbidden corner and looked at the availability. At the time of looking all times were available however 5 days before we travelled down (when we booked I know, I know disorganised) the only morning slot available was 10am on the Sunday (i.e opening time). This was great for us as we were staying relatively local and have a young child so getting up at 6am was well normal. Don't think our friends though the same...sorry guys. So we headed off the attraction is accessed through a number of sleepy villages and winding rural roads, we even passed a set of race horse returning from a mornings run. This was great for us as we live relatively rural and Zach loves to watch animals however for all you city dwelle...

Easy gooey cookies: Baking with kids

Soft gooey cookies are a favourite in our house, however not only are they relatively expensive for what they are, the gooeyness just don't last once you bring them home. This simple recipe is a favourite in our house. Usually I encourage Zach to help pre-measure the ingredients into small bowls before mixing them to form the cookie dough. Ingredients 125g of butter 125g of caster sugar (regular table suger will do) 100g of brown sugar 1 beaten egg 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional) 225g of self-raising flour 200g of chocolate chips (a mixture of milk and white works best) Salt to taste (optional) 1. Measure all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 180 degrees. 2. Cream the butter and both sugars, it is easier for little hands if you partial cream with a electric mixer before allowing little hands to finish the process with their hands. 3. Add egg and vanilla. 4. Sift in the flour....

A sunny day at the beach

When the British Sun decides to make an appearance you have to make the most of it. We headed to South Shields yesterday for a fun filled family day relaxing by the sea. After handing over an astronomical amount of money for a bucket and spade we spent a lovely morning building sand castles, splashing in the sea and wandering along the pier. Before long we headed to the North East institution that is Colmans for a spot of middle class fish and chips. Sorry this post is so short I really just wanted to share the photos of our day with anyone reading this. Love Vicky x
