Slimming World Choco-Mint Mousse.

I love chocolate! That's all I really need to say, I saw this dessert in an old Slimming World magazine of my mums and I just had to make it, it was a little tricky, and next time I shall use a little bit of green food colouring, just to make the mint sections stand out even more.

Information:
Serves 6 People.
Preparation Time: 25minutes.
Chilling Time: 30minutes.
Syns Per Serving: 3.5

Ingredients.
♥ 85g plain chocolate
♥ 4 large eggs (separated)
♥ 4 tbsp artificial sweetener
♥ 1 tsp pepper extract
♥ 142g fat free natural fromage frais
♥ fresh mint

How to make Choco-Mint Mousse:
1) Melt the chocolate in a small bowl over a pan of simmering water. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the egg yolks, half of the artificial sweetener and half the peppermint extract.   

2) Place the fromage frais, the remaining sweetener, remaining peppermint extract and a handful of mint leaves in a food processor. Whizz together until the mint is finally chopped, then transfer the mixture into a bowl.

3) Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Divide the egg whites between the two bowls and gently fold into the mixtures.

4) Divide the chocolate mixture between six glass serving dishes. Top with the fromage frais mixture, using a teaspoon, lightly fold through the mixture a few times to create a marbling effect.

5) Refrigerate for 30minutes or longer before serving with a mint leaf on top to decorate.





Now I know how to do this and how amazing it tastes, I am going to try it with orange, to create a choco-orange mousse :)

01/04/2013 - Second Weigh In

Well, I did it, I got on those scales again, for the second time, to be weighed, and I lost 1lb :D I was so pleased because this week, on Friday I pigged out a little, had lots of chocolate at work as it was my last day and then had wine when I got home, and it's been Easter weekend, so I was super pleased. If you have seen my food diary for today then you would have notice I hardly had anything, that is because I haven't documented on there what I had for my treat after being weighed. I had a small thin crust pizza from Pizza Hut (ham, chicken, peppers, onions, bbq sauce + double cheese), a side order of nachos, a small bag of Rowntrees randoms, a tube of smarties and practically all of my Hello Kitty Easter Egg.

Slimming World Lasagne.

Now, I love Lasagne, Lasagne is my most favourite Italian meal, I have eaten it out at so many restaurants and I have even made my own, although my own consisted of cream, white sauce, cheese sauce and full fat cheese, which in my defense is absolutely gorgeous, so so yummy,  but I can't bare to think of the syn content on that, so whilst I was trailing through the Slimming World website, I can across a Lasagne recipe, so I got all the ingredients and made it :)

Information:
Serves 4 People.
Preparation Time: 30minutes.
Cooking Time: 25-30minutes.
Syns Per Serving: 1.5 (although you have to add 6 syns if your not using extra lean minced beef)

Ingredients:
♥ 380g extra lean minced beef (less than 5% fat)
♥ 1 courgette (cut into small slices
♥ 1 red pepper (de-seeded and cut into small chunks)  
♥ 1 onion (peeled and cut into pieces)
♥ 400g can of chopped tomatoes
♥ 400g of pasatta
♥ 4 garlic cloves (peeled and crushed)
♥ 2 tsp of dried mixed herbs
♥ 500g fat free natural yoghurt
♥ 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
♥ lasagne sheets
 ♥ 4 level tbsp of grated parmesan     
♥ salt and pepper
♥ mixed salad

How To Cook Lasagne:
1) Pre heat your oven to 200oc/Gas Mark 6. Get a large non stick frying pan and place it over a high heat. Add the minced beef, red pepper, courgette, onion, garlic and stir fry for 6-8 minutes. Then add the tomatoes, passatta and mixed herbs. Season well, continue to the stir the ingredients and cook for another 12-15 minutes.

2) In a separate bowl, mix together to yoghurt and the eggs, until their really smooth.

3) Spoon half the meat mixture into a dish and then place lasagne sheets on top. Coat the lasagne sheets with half of the yoghurt mixture and then place the remaining meat mixture on top. Add the final lasagne sheets, cover with the remaining yoghurt mixture and top with grated parmesan.

4) Bake in the oven for 25-30minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve on plates with your mixed salad.

 It is so so simple, and I must say it tasted so nice, the only that was different was the sauce, because it was yoghurt and egg, it was a different texture and didn't hold so well when I cut the first piece, it's also a different texture, its like the topping of a moussaka, that soft, light mousse style sauce.
I also made my own salad with little gem lettuces and cherry tomatoes, because I prefer that to bags of mixed salad.

Welcome...

On Monday 18th March, I joined Slimming World, with my mum, we recently moved house and through researching online, found out that their was a local Slimming World literally 5minutes from our new house. So we took a dive into the unknown water and went along to join. Now I new a little about Slimming World through my parents following it before but I never joined in. Now I have a cruise coming up in July, and also I am off to Borneo in September to help look after the Orangutans and explore the island through jungle trekking and trip on long boats, therefore I really want to lose some weight and improve my fitness.


So, this page on my blog is going to be 100% dedicated to my Slimming World journey, I shall be posting recipes to meals I cook, my food diary to show what I have been eating, little snippets into how I am feeling and it's only fair that I show how I get on at each weigh in.
