Ever feel like a week is slipping away from you? That someone somewhere is determined to try your nerve and lead you to fall off plan?? I'm having a week like that!
I'm a bit of a stickler for routine and when my routine is put out (as it inevitably is 95% of the time with two kids around) I tend to go to pot! However....not this week! The old Mrs B might have given in and reached for chocolate but the apparent new Mrs B is sticking firm and hasn't slipped off plan once! Both my girlies have been struck with this nasty mean virus so all my plans to train this week have been scuppered, my Asda delivery didn't turn up on Monday forcing me to actually GO to the shops (cue much eye rolling) with two ill kids in tow, plus a few more appointments that were out of the norm. All in all, its shaping up to be a funny ol' week! Plus its only Wednesday when it feels like it should surely be Friday afternoon by now (cue more eye rolling). Hey ho, I digress....
I saw this in my Slimming World Meals for One book ages ago and have been wanting to give it a go. I finally did on Monday and it did not disappoint!
Super easy to do as I had left over potato in the fridge from the girls Sunday dinner (sans any butter or milk!) tuna in the cupboard and sweetcorn in the freezer!
Tuna Fishcakes
2 syns
200g potatoes, boiled and mashed
50g frozen sweetcorn
160g can tuna, drained
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp extra light mayo (0.5 syns)
10g golden breadcrumbs (3 syns)
What to do....(so easy I'm not sure it needs an explanation!)
- Mix together the mashed potatoes, tuna and extra light mayo.
- Defrost the frozen sweetcorn in the microwave and add to the mixture
- Put the beaten egg into a shallow dish and the breadcrumbs into another
- Once slightly cooled shape the tuna mixture into four small patty shapes
- Dip each one, both sides into the egg then the breadcrumbs
- Place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Alternatively, you could fry in fry light for the same result
- Serve with salad and/or slimming world syn free chips!
They're easy peasy to do and so filling. I only ate two of mine and had the other two later in the afternoon as a snack. They taste just as lush cold! If you didn't have any tuna you could use any left over fish, I'm fancying salmon fishcakes next as I love salmon and this would make a really tasty dinner!
Thanks for reading!
Love Mrs B xx
