From My Kitchen: Vegetarian Slimming World Meals
My vegetarian Slimming World journey is part of learning to care for myself through menopause and burnout.
I want to lose weight while enjoying satisfying food and treating myself with kindness.
Here, I share vegetarian recipes, meal ideas and honest reviews of food I’ve actually prepared. Alongside flavour, I consider the preparation, cooking and washing-up — and whether the result was worth my time and energy.
Nourishment With Nothing But Love💛
My Nothing But Love 💛 journal brings meal planning, shopping lists and personal reflection together.
Through my LOVE system — Listen, Own, Validate and Engage — I’m learning to notice my needs and make choices that respect my energy.
As I develop the journal for publication in 2027, I’ll share what I find helpful, including the recipes that become favourites and those that don’t quite work.
My Recipe Verdicts
Each recipe receives an honest, personal verdict:
- Kiss: I enjoyed it, although it hasn’t yet become a dependable favourite.
- Marry: A reliable favourite I will happily make again and again.
- Date Again: This attempt didn’t work, but deserves another try. I’ll explain what went wrong and what I would change.
- Avoid: It wasn’t for me, and I wouldn’t make it again.
Cooking When You’re Tired
Where I can assess it from experience, I’ll describe the effort as low, medium or high, explaining the preparation, attention and washing-up involved.
These are my personal assessments, rather than promises about how you will feel. A delicious meal may still take more energy than you want to spend that day.
I’ll include confirmed timings and servings, useful tips and relevant storage guidance. Swips values will only be included when verified for the ingredients and portions used.
Real Food, Honestly Shared
All food photographs in these recipe posts are my own, showing meals I’ve actually made. I share the changes, mistakes and discoveries along the way, without AI-generated food photographs.
Browse the recipes below and find something that suits your taste and the energy you have today.
Your verdict may be different from mine — and that’s welcome too.
