Salt & Pepper Crispy Tofu

So… I have to admit, I have never ever cooked tofu in my entire life. I have bought it a few times, seen it sit in my fridge, planned so many different things to do with it only for it to end in someone else’s fridge to avoid it going to waste – I just never seemed to be able to be brave enough to cook with something new.

However, it all changed yesterday. I’ve been wanting to make fried rice for quite a while and thought it would be the perfect time to have some tofu once and for all. I ended up with the best addition to my fried rice and wondering why on earth I waiting this long to add tofu into our diets.

This is fairly simple to make and the syns from the cornflour are totally worth it. It wouldn’t be crispy without it and, let’s face it, crispy make everything delicious. No?

Dairy Free Low Syn Creamy Salmon & Prawn Spaghetti | Slimming World

Creamy pasta is right at the top of my favourite things to eat – it’s just the ultimate comfort food for me. Finding a way to still be able to eat this dish without using dairy AND not breaking the syn bank has been something I’ve been thinking about for weeks.

Low Syn Oat Waffles with Cream Cheese Frosting | Slimming World

I think this is THE best SW breakfast I’ve had, ever. I’ve got quite the sweet tooth so I’m always looking out for sweet breakfast ideas that won’t break the Syn bank… This nails it.

This recipe uses the basic blitzed oats and yoghurt mix (syn free when using oats as your HEB) but I have decided to add a little treat with the frosting. I have to admit I’m not a massive fan a of quark for sweet recipes and, after giving a good go, I still go for real cream cheese – lightest, of course.

The yield is 2 waffles covered in a fair amount of cream cheese. I did have a tiny amount of batter left, enough for a little mini muffin that baked next to the waffles (waste not!).

Don’t forget to serve with lots of fresh speedy fruit!
