Slimming World Spicy Beef Stir Fry

I have been trying out a couple of recipes from my Slimming World Magazine

Firstly, I made Spicy Beef Stir Fry

it was lovely and I will definitely make it again. So easy to make and on a Slimming World Orginial day (red) it is free!

Heat a wok and spray with fry light.  Brown 1 lb (454g) of extra lean minced beef. Add 3 tbsp of mild curry powder and cook for 10 - 12 minutes. Add 11oz (312g) stir fry veggies and 3 - 4 tomatoes, chopped. Season and cook for another 10 - 12 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander and serve.

The next day I made Slimming World Stuffed Courgettes by simply halving 3 courgettes and scooping out the seeds with a teaspoon.  Fill generously with the leftover Spicy Beef Stir fry and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.  I was surprised at how tasty this was.  The courgettes were perfect.

I started doing the Slimming World diet and it is my second weigh in tomorrow.  I lost 6lb last week and was very happy with that.  I can't get my head around why it works but I certainly ate plenty of free foods, didn't feel hungry at all and still lost a good amount.  I will be happy with the usual 1 - 2 pounds a week from now on.  Hopefully I can stick at this for a couple of months (at least!)

Yesterday I had a Green SW Day (you have to choose red or green each day) so I made a quiche using some free food.  You can eat as much as you like of this on a Green Day.

Slimming World Green Day Quiche

Packet of Savoury Rice, cooked and cooled, mix in a tub of low fat cottage cheese and 3 eggs.  Put in a quiche dish and bake for 30 mins until golden brown.  How simple is that? It can be varied by using different flavoured rice or instead you could use Pasta n Sauce.  I thought I might add some onions, mushrooms or tomatos too.  It was a life saver yesterday as I was having one of those days where I just needed to eat.
