Mince Bites

I love a mince pie: they are one of my favourite treats of the festive season but, given the number of calories in a single one, they aren’t something I can indulge in as much as I’d like to. This low-calorie alternative is the perfect …

Kickin’ Chicken Kebabs – 8sp

I’ve had skewers in my kitchen drawer for months now so thought this weekend I would get them out. I decided to change up a recipe I previously posted (my Sticky Chicken Wings) and change it up, lowering the propoints even further. The result was …

Basil, Mozzarella and Tomato Salad – 4sp

This little beauty is exactly what the title suggests. A salad which consists largely of basil, tomatoes and mozzarella. Whilst it may sound a bit dull or boring it is actually a delicious and fresh salad which is both low in propoints and so, so …

Sizzling Beef with Spring Onions & Black Bean Sauce – Only 12sp!

This was a recipe made for me by my lovely best mate’s OH and it was so nice I bought the recipe book to make myself a smart point friendly version. It’s from Jaime’s Ministry of Food (original recipe here) and comes in at a …

Chicken Katsu

I’ve seen katsu curry on the menu a few times at our local Japanese but it’s known for being rather high in points. Having been craving it for a while, this week I thought I would see if I rustle up a low point version …

Gorgeous Green Fusilli with Bacon

This delight of a dish involves hardly any cooking and the sauce is so quick and easy (it takes around the same length of time to prepare as the pasta takes to cook). This is one of my favourite recipes as usually when you are trying to find …

Spicy Szechuan Chicken Stir Fry – 8sp

I usually make stir fries from scratch (sauce and all) but there are some nights when I get home and frankly I can’t be bothered. I have been searching for something quick and easy to fix this for a while now and not found anything …

Chorizo and Red Lentil Soup – 2sp

Now the weather has got a bit colder and I’m starting to think about investing in my yearly pair of ear muffs (I somehow manage to snap them at the end of every winter) I thought it was about time I whipped up my first …

Sticky Five Spice Pork Stir Fry – Only 10sp!

Me and the OH were planning on having a lovely pork stew the other night but, as they do, plans change quickly and I ended up having to cook something up fairly quickly so we could head out earlier than anticipated! I’ve been wanting to …

Aubergine Bake – 7sp

I love lasagne but there are times when I’ve had a particularly carby few days when I just can’t hack more pasta/carbs. This recipe is therefore a perfect way of having a gorgeous, filling meal with no carbs and for hardly any points. The aubergines …
