I first created and posted my slimming friendly Philly Cheesesteak Fries recipe way back in 2015, and it is still one of my most popular recipes to this day.

Crispy chips layered with succulent steak, peppers and cheese. It was of course based on the American classic sandwich, but minus the bread!

I have seen quite a few Philly Cheesesteak Pasta bakes on Insta, although not healthy versions, so wanted to give it a go myself.

I served it with a tasty salad, and this dish would also go really well with my Garlic Bread.

Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Bake Recipe

This is a really tasty recipe, that I made using leftover pulled pork that I had. It is a great way of making use of leftovers, and is very delicious as well!

If you don't have leftover pulled pork or pulled brisket, then you could always buy one of the pre-made kits that you get in super markets, and obviously adjust the syns/calories.

You can kind of throw in the ingredients, and this recipe would also come out great in a slow cooker.

I love anything BBQ flavour, and this is so tasty that you won't even know that it is relatively healthy!

Scroll down for the daily meal plan

The key to keeping on plan and on track, for me, is to make and stick to a meal plan. Sure, it can take time, but in the long run it saves so much time.

There's nothing worse than coming home from work and having to work out what to have for dinner and how many calories or diet points you have left etc.

I have created a meal plan that is super tasty and easy to follow. It is always recommended to check that these meal plans fit in with your specific diet plan.

Some of the meals have a recipe, and some of the meals are simple enough to put together without one! There are some read made meals as well.

The overall ingredients come to £42.96, but there are always more savings to be had depending on what deals are on offer.

2 large Chicken Breasts

1 large onions

2 Garlic Cloves

Ginger (1 inch piece)

400ml Chicken Stock

Handful of Frozen Peas

Low Calorie Spray 

2 tbsp corn flour 

1 tsp Sweetener

Spicentice Chinese Curry Mix
Order your Spicentice kit using code SPF20 to get 20% off!

Spray a saucepan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft. Add the chicken and peas and cook until the chicken is cooked through. 

Add the ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Make up the stock, then add the Spicentice Chinese Curry Mix and cornflour and mix well.

Add this to the chicken mix and add all the rest of the ingredients. 

Leave to simmer until thickened.

Notes:

You either love pickled gherkins, or you hate them. I personally absolutely adore them! One of my favourite ways to have them is the American Fried Pickles style.

They are usually made with breadcrumbs and a batter, and of course are normally deep fried.

Removing the paddle means it doesn't have the full rotation, but means you can 'fry' lot's of breaded items in there, like KFC fakeaway. This opens up a whole new world of items that can be cooked in there!

 Air Fried Pickles Recipe

The humble coffee bean is the addictive plant behind an industry worth somewhere in the region of $100 billion. If you’re a coffee aficionado, you might think you know a thing or two about this powerhouse of a drink, but bet you didn’t know some of these weird coffee facts.

The story goes that  coffee originally came from Ethiopia and was discovered by goat farmers sometime in the ninth century after they noticed the weird and wonderful effects the plants would have on their goats.  Reports that the goats preferred tall, skinny lattes with a caramel drizzle to all other types of coffee though, are probably not true. 

Coffee was considered such a vice at one time that it was banned by both Catholicism and Islam. It seems that leaders of both faiths worried that coffee’s stimulating properties would have an undesirable effect on their faithful, although it’s not entirely clear what they thought might happen. Of course, these bans were later reversed and now you’re just as likely to see a priest or an Imam drinking coffee as the next person.

The world’s most expensive coffee is called Kopi Luwak, and at around £25 a cup, you may need to have your credit card handy if you develop a taste for it. Fortunately for your credit card however, while you can buy many delicious types of coffee beans from Spiller and Tait, Kopi Luwak isn’t one of them. Mind you, when you find out that its flavor is partly due to it being eaten and then excreted out by civets (a nocturnal mammal found in tropical forests, in case you’re wondering), you may not be so keen on the idea of drinking it anyway. 

Legend has it that coffee gained its popularity in the USA mainly due to the treacherous - or freedom-loving (depending on your nationality) - colonialists of America. After dropping the tea into the Boston harbour, it became ‘unAmerican’ to drink tea, so everyone turned to coffee. Whether this is true is open to debate but considering recent history, it certainly seems plausible.

In London, coffee houses became fashionable as places for men to talk about the ideas of the day, exchange the latest news, and to gossip about anything and everything. Now, we have the internet. Women were banned from them which may be the reason why they tried to get coffee banned in the 17th century. Charles II also attempted to close down coffee houses because of the spread of ‘subversive ideas’. He failed miserably too.

For a long time, coffee was considered bad for you, but in recent years, this has been found to be entirely without merit. Coffee stimulates your brain, making you more active, both physically and mentally. It can help you lose weight and even has some very beneficial nutrients. Plus, it may lower your risk of getting diabetes, Alzheimer’s and dementia. However, don’t overdo it. Believe it or not, 70 cups of coffee in one day could actually kill you!

Six surprising facts about coffee. Who would have thought that a bean could have such an effect on the entire world?
