Our menu tonight - homemade Slimming World Chips, panfried chicken and bacon, big bowl of mango salsa.

Dessert will be fresh raspberries, a meringue nest and a blob of low fat creme fraiche.

Pennyfarthing - how do you make slimming world chips?? PN

Peel potatoes, cut into chips.  Preheat oven to 220C and heat roasting tin.  Bring large pan of slightly salted water to boil.  Drop chips in and simmer for 4 mins.  No longer or they'll go mushy!  Drain immediately.  If you've got time, leave them for about 5 mins.

Spray your hot roasting tin with frylight . Put chips in and give them a spray too.  Cook for approx 25-30 mins, giving them a shake every so often so they're evenly browned.

Serve with vinegar and S & P to taste. 

We have been having these instead of shop chips or oven chips since I started at SW in mid-May and all my lot love them.    Hubby and I have both lost weight .....  me - 1st 3.5 lbs and him 1st 5 lbs.  :)

I like the sound of those too. Presume it's ok to use a small amount of "normal" oil - or is "frylight" so, something special?  ???

Thanks. Must admit that I do oven chips - thin, french fry ones - or fry wedges that I've made out of microwaved whole potatoes. I'm just trying to think of ways to cut down on the calories a bit - for the sake OH's expanding midriff and my thunder thighs!  ;D

I guess you could - it's just that Frylite is very low in calories.  In SW language it's FREE. ;)

We had take away Indian tonight, not very good for the healthy eating plan but delicious!  Had vegetable pakora with yummy sauces, red onion and my fave lamb rogan josh with pilau rice.  Yum! Very full and that's with me and OH sharing! ;D
