Cloud bread

The new phenomenon, i wish i had thought of this as this is the basic way i make a slimming world syn free cake, just adding sweetener and vanilla! you can toast this 'bread' lightly if you want to make it a little more durable but is good for burgers or even sandwiches and the best thing? ITS SP FRIENDLY!!

3 large eggs seperated
2 tbsp quark
pinch of salt
(any flavourings you wish to add e.g garlic or italian herbs)

Preheat your oven to 180oC

Add the salt to the egg whites and whisk until stiff peak.

Add the quark to the egg yolks and whisk until creamy and well incorporated.

Fold in 1/3 of the egg whites and continue until you have a light mixture.

Spoon mixtures onto a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes until lightly browned, just keep an eye on them.

I will suggest not to make a huge batch of them as they go stale quite quickly! If adding seasoning, add them to the egg yolk and quark before adding the egg white.

BBQ sides

So, people get stuck with what to have along with their grilled meat or fish, at least thats what i hear when i go to my slimming world group, so here is a few ideas.

Grilled corn on the cob

Mixed veggie skewers then push them off a skewer into a bowl or oven bake some Mediterranean style veggies.

My BBQ style baked beans (on my blog)

Boiled or baked potatoes or even slimming world chips.

Rice salad (or plain rice)

Pasta salad (or buy a passatta that has garlic and herbs in, add some salt and pepper and you have a syn free sauce)

Slimming world coleslaw recipe (also on my blog)

fruit skewers (obviously not for the BBQ but for dessert)

Salsa (roughly chop 3 large tomatoes, 1 small red onion finely chopped, pinch of salt and pepper, juice of half a lime, some roughly chopped coriander)

Boiled eggs

mexican salsa; 1 large can drained corn, 1 cn drained and washed black beans, 2 large spring onions finely chopped, 1/4 cucumber deseeded and finely chopped, handful of coriander OR parsely, finely chopped, juice of half a lime, generous pinch of cumin, salt and pepper.

Asparagus; 1 packet of aspargus trimmed coated in 1 tsp olive oil (2 syns) pinch of salt and pepper. You can either cook them in a foil packet or grill them straight on the BBQ.

Gherkins

A big bowl of fresh green lettuce or even the bagged stuff washed if you are short for time with slices of cucumber and a punnet of cherry tomatoes.

And of course, cloud bread! if you haven't heard of this phenomenon you can have it on an SP day it is literally eggs, a pinch of salt and quark! you seperate the eggs, whisk up the whites and well i am going to do another blog on that later!

I hope you liked this short blog on a few ideas to go alongside a BBQ or even just as side dishes!
