Morning everyone
Hi Tommy, I tend to just stock up on yoghurts (the M&S Count on Us ones are really creamy and don't have that weird aftertaste that you get with a lot of diet yoghurts). Also cherry tomatoes, beetroot and carrot sticks. If you have a HEb, the Ryvita wholemeal crackerbread is good as you can have seven of them! Nice with laughing cow light and maybe some cucumber or tomato on top. If you have some syns to spare, Cauldron's Sun-dried tomato and basil pate (can get it in sainsbury's) is really tasty on the crackerbread - 2 syns per 28g. I'm at home during the day too and I can be a terrible snacker..once I start I can't stop so I've started to head out for a walk or do something else to occupy my time to ward off the snack attacks.
Nappyaddict..thanks for taking the time to post those recipes. Will hopefully try out a quark and spinach cannelloni soon.
Furball, a half-pound is still ok...they all add up I'm sure you're itching to get back out for a run, glad you're feeling a bit better now. I'm heading out tomorrow morning to do 5k and will do a couple of shorter runs too over the bank holiday.
Lechuga, the syn-free recipe I do is a kind of throw-it-all together one of my own so it can change everytime I make it depending what food is in the house. The one I made this week was on a green day. Chicken (heb - so watch portion size!) fry-lighted with onions and garlic, add tin of chopped tomatoes, small tin of pineapple pieces in own juice (heb) and add curry powder and garam masala to taste. Simmer for at least an hour to let the flavours develop, even nicer done the day before. I used two chicken breasts and there was enough to do me for a two smaller portions (dinner then lunch following day) and one large portion for dh. If you have a few syns to spare it is really nice if you add in a few tbsp of branston pickle with the tomatoes etc (1 syn per tbsp)! Can also bulk it out with eg peppers, mushrooms, spinach.
Well done to everyone on their losses this week.
