My mam said there is sugar free Coca Cola flavour jelly in Morrisons...I believe will be 1.5 syns? You could do those in a mould (jelly + extra gelatin for firmness) and coat in sweetner for coca cola bottles. Whole load for 1.5 syns! Could even use diet flat coke instead for syn free ones.

I've just ordered heart shape moulds (makes 55!) for £5. Once it comes, I'm giving this a go...then hiding the buggars away from the kids.

I made the haribos ages ago they're gooooood!

 

[Embo78]

Mmmmm haribo. I have to give those a try. Can't wait to hear how they turn out!

I forgot to update! I sts. I was a bit disappointed but I think my portions were too big throughout the week and I was underestimating on syns so hopefully now I've rectified that I'll get a good loss this week.
Having a good week so far. Tried the sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice this weekend and it was soooo good. The Fakeaway book has been a god send for me. We used to have 1-2 takeaways a week but since I joined SW we haven't had one!!!

I love the fakeaway book all the food looks great. We were the same Embo it's disgusting when I think back to the amount of £££ I used to spend on fast food and takeaways.

I feel like my family is healthier too - on Friday night me and LO shared baked apples with cinnamon with vanilla quark. Before it would have been pom bears or biscuits!

 

[lindseymw]

I will be attempting the syn free chinese chicken curry, egg fried rice and noodles at some point this week.

 

[Katerz]

Love the Fakeaway book one of my faaaavourites!

 

[Embo78]

The food is so authentic! Just like from a takeaway!! The chicken tikka masala was my fav

 

[lola_90]

Katerz - what other books would you recommend?

I made a lovely fish pie for lunch - white sauce was made with skimmed milk, corn flour and some bay leaves. The topping was half potato and the rest swede which I did in the microwave.

I really like the recipes in Extra Easy Express. We don't really have the time for long cooking processes, as it is we often eat really late as my OH doesn't want to eat with the kids just before 7pm.

 

[lola_90]

Thanks Angel will have a look on Thursday for it

 

[topsy]

I just bought extra easy meals in mins I think it called I want to make the chickpea burgers in it

xxx

 

[lola_90]

Ooh they sound yummy.I watched Jamie and Jimmy Friday night food programme on channel 4 and they always have lots of healthy recipes. They made a burger that looked amazing with green beans, peas and sweet corn as the burger with yummy salad.

 

[topsy]

Slimmingworld Pizza:

Make some SW chips, put in a cake tin (I have a silicone one), pour homemade pizza sauce (Passata with garlic & herbs simmered to thicken), add toppings, add grated light cheese and bung in the oven for 20mins.

Free for me as using cheese as part of HEA.

ETA: It's lush!

Yummy Lindsey! I did a cheats pizza last week on a chicken breast and added the toppings onto that
