I was planning on having scrambled egg on toast, but i came on here and saw Marions post about pancakes. Well I just tried them and they are FABULOUS!!! I had them like a stack with banana in between. They taste very panacakey lol. I expected them to be like sweet omlettes, but they werent. Thanks Marion I now have a new exciting brekkie.

BTW they would be perfect with some sort of syrup, but I didnt have any.

MB I whisked the eggs til stiff, not sure if that was right, but I tried to spread them as thin as possible in the pan. I also let them sit a minute before eating so they 'settled' if you know what I mean. I also had them all stacked up (3 of them) with the banana in between, They were lovely and sweet.yum

Thank you! I bought syrups at Aldi's when they were doing their American week, so I have blueberry, raspberry, strawberry and maple. 2 syns a tblsp, they are very thick so I mix with a tblsp of boiling water and drizzle over top of pancakes. I stacked mine as well but I didn't bother spreading the mixture thinly, just dolloped it into a small heavy nonstick pan and swirled it a little with the spoon to spread it at bit. They smell nice when they are cooking as well, don't they:j

Yum the syrups sound good. I love maple syrup with pancakes, ill try and get some. The pancakes do smell great when cooking, one jumped in my mouth before it hit the plate :rotfl:. They wold be great as part of a cooked brekkie with poached egg and smokey bacon. im drooling just thinking about that.

Can I ask a big favour off someone. Could anybody check for me what this particular ready meal is on the website please.

Its Tescos Light Choice Ready Meal Creamy Mushroom Pasta. I’m sure its 3 ½ on a green day. I left my password at home today and i have it for lunch. I have been so good I don’t want to ruin it just in case its too high.

Thanks. Hope everyone is enjoying the snow today J

Excellent thank you very much I’m even more happy now its only 1 ½ syns I’m going to add some chicken in for lunch and have an Extra Easy day.

I work right next to Tesco’s and I always try and have a ready meal for lunch. I also like the Salmon and Broccolie Pie that is only 1 syn on red or 1 syn on EE day.

Another one is the mozzarella and tomato pasta I think that’s 3 ½ syns.

Talking about ready meals (don't eat them anymore) I did notice that Icelands Sweet n Sour chicken and rice is only 4 syns on a green day! Nice one to keep for a quick meal sometime! Plus its only £1!

Good Morning all!! Snow here too, schools closed, so no work for me either, I'll make a big pot of syn free veggie soup later, to do for lunches this week.Hope everyone is well.
Looking forward to this evening, when all my flock are, hopefully, tucked back up in our nest.
