Ok I’m not going to lie to you guys but I have been far from on plan over the last few weeks. If I’m being honest I’d say I have barely been on plan 40% of the time, which is rubbish and it is showing in my total lack of weightloss. But…I know if I can just get myself past this total lack of motivation and push myself to get back on plan properly then I know slimming world diet works for me and I can lose the weight I want.
So with that in mind I have been trying to ease me and Jon back into eating Slimming World friendly meals by having them at least 4-5 evenings a week. And I am enjoying experimenting and cooking in the kitchen again, I just know if I want to get back on plan and stay there then I need to find, easy and quick to cook meals that Jon, me and the baby can all eat and enjoy.
I find that when I am on plan I very quickly get bored of passata sauce with everything (you know I’m right, everything seems to be made with it as its free!) and I really don’t fancy a tomato based sauce every night of the week That’s why I have been trying out some creamy sauce recipes instead, because to be honest I would always have chosen a cream or cheese sauce on my pasta over a tomato based one before I was on SW anyway. This Slimming World creamy pasta sauce recipe is one of my favourites at the moment and is totally syn free (plus you can add a sprinkling of grated cheese to it if you have your Healthy Extra A left!)
Slimming World Creamy Chicken and Red Pepper Pasta Recipe

- 4 chicken breasts remove any visible fat and dice into chunks
- 1 whole red pepper de-seeded and diced

Instructions
- Place your pasta on to boil and spray a frying pan with frylight add the chicken and pepper to the pan and cook until the chicken cooked through (usually around 10 minutes)
- Remove from the heat and allow to sit for a few minutes to allow it to cool and to release any final red pepper juices (there is a reason I promise)
- Add the peas to your pasta pot so they can cook for the last 2 minutes or so
- In a bowl mix together your quark, yogurt, garlic salt, parsley and cheese if using any
- Add the chicken and peppers and all the juice that has come off them, mixing well into your creamy sauce mix
