‘I’ve found me again – now I’m helping others do the same ❤️!’

As a busy mum, Charlie often put herself at the bottom of her own priority list ⬇️. After her son’s first birthday, she joined her local Slimming World group – and everything changed 🤗. With support from her Consultant Amanda, Charlie built healthier habits and discovered why she’d struggled before 💪. Now 8st (50.8kg) lighter, she’s found a happier, healthier version of herself – and a new career that fits perfectly around family life 🥰.

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

🍲Chicken and leek baked risotto🍲

Some nights, you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen… Step forward our low-effort risotto. It’s baked rather than simmered on the hob, so there’s hardly any stirring. And you only use one pan, which means minimal washing-up!

🤩Ingredients🤩

⭐️Low-calorie cooking spray
⭐️2 large leeks, finely sliced
⭐️500g courgettes, coarsely grated
⭐️2 garlic cloves, crushed
⭐️250g dried risotto rice
⭐️700ml hot chicken stock
⭐️4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
⭐️3 tbsp fat-free natural Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
⭐️Small pack fresh basil, leaves picked

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.

⭐️Spray a wide flameproof non-stick casserole dish with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the leeks and courgettes, and fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, or until they have softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice starts to look translucent.

⭐️Increase the heat and add the stock, stirring everything together. Bring to a simmer, add the chicken and season lightly. Bring back to a simmer, stir, cover and transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes.

⭐️Remove the risotto from the oven, give it another stir and return to the oven, uncovered, for a final 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and almost all of the stock has been absorbed. Remove from the oven, stir through the yogurt, lemon juice to taste, and the basil. Top with a twist of freshly ground black pepper and serve hot.

Last year a member of our community felt that our poppy pins were ‘English’ because they had 2 petals and a leaf. They advised that Scottish poppies had 4 petals.
We designed our poppy pins to be unique to Linwood and our tiny gold pin is intended to complement any other poppy you choose to purchase from Poppy Scotland, British Legion or elsewhere. Our red poppy pins and wreath poppy pins bear the LWMA branding.
However, we have listened and have a beautiful and unique handmade, 4 petal poppy pin available in our online shop from Monday 3 November 2025. These will be limited until we see how well they sell, if successful, they will be added to our future product list.

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

🫚Steamed ginger pudding🫚

These gorgeous little puddings are wonderfully warming on a cold day. Rich with the flavours of ginger and spice, there’s pleasure in every spoonful!

🤩Ingredients 🤩

⭐️Low-calorie cooking spray
⭐️4 level tbsp reduced-sugar apricot jam
⭐️2 eggs, separated
⭐️25g golden caster sugar
⭐️4 level tbsp sweetener granules
⭐️75g self-raising flour
⭐️3 tsp ground ginger
⭐️½ tsp ground allspice
⭐️1 level tbsp finely chopped stem ginger

🤩Method 🤩

⭐️Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Spray 4 individual pudding basins with low-calorie cooking spray and place in a deep roasting dish. Spoon 1 tbsp jam into each of the basins.
⭐️Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and sweetener until pale and fluffy. Sieve in the flour, ground ginger and allspice and stir to mix well.
⭐️Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form and fold into the egg mixture with the stem ginger. Spoon this into the prepared basins, cover with baking parchment and foil and pour boiling hot water into the roasting dish to come halfway up the sides of the basins.
⭐️Place in the oven and steam for 20-25 minutes or until just firm and springy to the touch.
⭐️Put a plate over each basin and invert to turn out the puddings.
