I am not a big fan of over complicated cooking and much prefer fuss free food. As I am still busy getting my home office organised and prepping for our holiday, I want to keep this week clear.
I am still following Slimming World and hit my first half stone award this week. I was ridiculously pleased about this!
So, keeping it low fat and uncomplicated, here is this week’s easy meal plan.
Fuss free food for a busy week
Saturday
We are at a wedding, which is incidentally serving some homely, fuss free food! Mr S has opted for beef wellington, whist I am having a vegetable pie. Hopefully, I won’t eat too many syns!
Sunday
Eating out again! This is not going to be good for my waistline, but it is my daughter’s birthday so what can we do?
We are going back to our favourite Gurkha pub. Lovely food at great prices. The staff are fantastically helpful and polite too.
Monday
Jacket potatoes, tuna (with a tiny bit of mayo and fat free natural yogurt), a sprinkling of lower fat cheddar and a very large salad. Back on track!
Tuesday
Chick pea curry (made using Frylight rather than oil) and rice. Such an easy recipe and a favourite of mine.
Wednesday
Mediterranean fish stew with mashed potatoes. I love this!
Thursday
With one thing and another, I never got round to using the Simply Cook spices to make spicy Iranian stew. It does look nice! I have bought a butternut squash for this so need to do it.
Friday
Same! There should be enough stew for leftovers so a night off cooking for me.
Hopefully my fuss free food plan will give me time to do all the other things I want to do. There is quite a bit to do on the veggie patch, the office to finish and lots of eBay stock to organise.
What are you eating this week? Please share in the comments.

Well done, it’s lovely getting those certificates. I stopped using Frylight as I ruined so many pans where it sticks and burns at the temperatures needed. I now use a rapeseed spray oil called Sizzola or Tesco make their own and cheaper than Frylight. 1 cal per squirt and you really don’t need a lot.

Good luck with your meal plan, and try not to worry about your syn count. I’ve been there and it used to ruin weekends! If a few pounds are gained they are easily gone again once you get back on plan next week xx

Well done with the weight loss. That’s fantastic.
I hope your daughter had a great birthday.
I love the sound of the Iranian stew x

Mediterranean fish stew – Yum! It’s such a summer feeling dish too, isn’t it? Congratulations on your 1/2 stone award!

Sounds a lovely week and I do love a jacket potato and have fun at the wedding
Katy Stevens says
The wedding food sounds perfect. NIce homestyle food instead of fancy everything! Hope you have had a great time x Thanks for linking up, as always!

You have to treat yourself and can’t help it if you have a wedding and your daughters birthday next to each other. The food for the wedding does sound amazing rather than too posh
