Move over Zinger Burger there is a new kid on the block the Thai Zingy burger!! This was amazing the flavours were sooooooo good an absolute winner!
I used chicken breast but you can use whatever part of the bird you like i made 6 burgers out of the mix i used 3 to eat 3 for the freezer……….winning at life woohoo!
How many packets of crisps you use depends on how thick you like the coating i used 2 for 3 burgers but you could get away with one the choice is yours.
My top tip is dont over blend the chicken in the food processor or it will go to slop and make the burgers difficult to handle – they need to resemble a “rough chop”

Slow Cooker Chinese Pork
You will not believe how easy this one is to make but trust me it is and it tastes amazing and in my book that is definitely a win\win.
The key to this recipe is get the taste to how you want it we all have different tastes so its important to get the sauce the way you like it. You can either cook the recipe as it is and taste the sauce at the end of cooking – if you need to make any adjustments pop it in a pan add more of whatever you like …. probably honey and 5 spice then heat through or taste it before you start cooking and adjust. Its a very hardy sauce an you cannot ruin it so dont worry and if you want a really thick sauce just reduce it down in a pan on the hob, i didn’t need to do this but as i always say all slow cookers are different.
Onion Bhaji
These were a real treat and went really well alongside the curry i made – they are really easy to make i think my top tip is just not to get stressed about them, i know that sounds stupid but trust me the less faffing with them the better they turn out and if they fall apart dont worry just reshape them they will still be perfectly ok.
You can either use a muffin tin to cook them in or shape them by hand and cook them i have do it both ways as you will see in the video – both ways work.
These need to be cook slowly in the beginning then turn the heat up for the last ten minutes to get the tops crispy

Mini Egg Quiches
Definitely on a roll with getting some summer cooking together, these were lovely and worked really well using cottage cheese. They make a perfect grab and go snack and will also be fab at lunchtime as they can be eaten hot or cold.
These will last in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days
Egg Muffins
Perfect grab and go snack and they work really well with a salad eat hot or cold choice is yours. These will last in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days and they are a fab way of using up all the bits lurking at the bottom of the fridge the flavour combinations are endless.
Steak Pasty
Here is another one i can tick off my list! These were really good and will definitely be making them again, you can use any wrap you like and any tinned steak i used a weight watchers wrap as my HEb and the tinned steak was 4.5 syns which made each pasty 1.5 syns …….and totally worth it.
Scotch Eggs 2 Ways
I love scotch eggs and especially when the weather is warmer they make a fab snack or part of a pack lunch. In this video i have made them 2 ways as in the past i have always used sausages to cover the egg with but this time i decided to also try 5% fat free pork mince also – whichever way you cook them they are both syn free.
Note: i always eat mine with a little salad and never as a snack 2 or 3 at a time 🙈
Caramelised Onion Hummus
Another recipe i have wanted to make for an age, hummus can be so high in syns if following slimming world so making it yourself really does help save on syns especially during the summer months when dips are used more frequently. The key to this one is to have patience to soften down the onions it really will pay dividends and give you a fantastic flavour.
The hummus will last in the fridge easily 4 days in an airtight container, its also syn free and SP friendly.
Falafel
This is another recipe that has been on my “to do list” forever! Im slowing working my way through them lol….. such a simple recipe but it really does work well and im really happy with how these turned out.
If following slimming world these are syn free and they are also SP friendly and also make a great snack.
Cheese & Onion Potato Waffles
I absolutely love waffles sweet and savoury and now i have fallen in love with my electric waffle maker the world is my oyster lol. These can be made in any flavour you like its just as you know i love cheese!
If following slimming world these are syn free – but if your using cheese remember to either syn it or use it as your HEa
NOTE 28th December 2019 ……..If you are following slimming world SMASH or Potato Flakes now carry syns so they best way to get a syn free waffle is by microwaving potatoes scooping out the flesh and adding any flavours you like then use an egg to bind the mixture.
Southern Style Chicken (KFC) Using Spicentice
As you will see i have not made this one since 2018 lol its so easy to miss some fantastic recipes when you get stuck in a rut and especially changing seasons from Winter into Summer. In this version i used cornflakes as i find they give a better crunch but you can use breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs or anything else you like.
Spice kits are available from https://www.spicentice.com/ use code JULES20 for 20% off any order (AFFILIATE)
Live Cooking video making a KFC Style Meal.
Now this was such a treat and well worth making and to be really honest it was super simple it looks like a lot of work has gone into the meal from the finished picture but trust me its all about cheating lol.
You can swap out the panko breadcrumbs for a slice of bread blitzed up if you wish and if following slimming world this can then be your HEb. The gravy mix i used was from Home Bargains but you can buy it from B&M also.
