Since starting Slimming World, I've put together a range of internet places where I know I can get workable, economical, sensible and adaptable recipes.
I though it would be a good idea to share them with you although I expect you already know about most of them.
Happy browsing!
Pinch of Nom
Kay and Kate are two chefs who went to Slimming World and developed their own recipes to support their 'journey'.
The site is overloaded with adverts and scrolling through them can be a bit of a pain but, believe me, it's worth it for the excellent recipes near the bottom which are generally practical, down to earth and delicious.
It has quite a good search function and an index to help you find appropriate recipes; some recipes detail different methods, e.g. Instant Pot, slow cooker, stove top and even a few Thermomix recipes. Very varied and I find I'm spoilt for choice!
The recipes are no longer valued for Slimming World but, even so, they are SW friendly and easily valuedlued.
Kay and Kate also have a very popular and busy Facebook page and several books/food diaries which I would thoroughly recommend (See Amazon but you can find them in many bookshops and supermarkets)
Slimming Eats
This site belongs to Siobhan, born in London and now living in Ontario. She discovered Slimming World online after various ups and downs and started her blog, gradually developing it into the fantastic resource it is today.
The site is simply loaded with fantastic, delicious recipes with full nutritional information. They are practical, sensible and very varied.
Siobhan is also a fan of her Instant Pot and a number of her recipes reflect that.
A minus is that it is loaded with adverts, like Pinch of Nom, and one has to scroll down to find the actual recipe itself but, once found, there's a button for printing off the recipe - very handy. There's also a good search function under the 'recipes' tab.
Like the Pinch of Nom, she no longer values to Slimming World but they are easily worked out.
Thrifty Lesley
Have you come across Thrifty Lesley?
She's had a very frugal blog for ages now and her ideas and recipes really do work. I've used a number of them myself, She is also a presence on Facebook.
Lesley is doing Slimming World and has been working on a brilliant resource, a month of low syn budget meals. It covers everything - main meals and snacks. The lot (as it says).
Here's the link to that page

and while you're there, click around and get to know the place. There's so much there.
Here's the link to her facebook SW group too.

Two Chubby(ish) Cubs
Another site with adverts but really nothing anywhere near as blatant as some and nowhere near as intrusive.
This one is a bit different as the main body of the text is a blog - rather rude in places, quite earthy language, sometimes very funny . . . it's not totally my cuppa but, big but, the SW friendly recipes are fantastic. They're pretty casual about some of the less sensible SW rules (as I am) but the proof of the pudding is that they both lost huge amounts of weight in a year , more or less following SW.
The site is laden with recipes and I think it's a fantastic resource for anyone who likes healthy cooking. And, like Pinch of Nom, you can always just scroll down to the recipe at the foot of each entry, you don't have to read through everything if you don't want to (I usually do).
Like Slimming Eats and Pinch of Nom, there's a 'print' button for the actual recipe, making it simple to get yourself a hard copy.
