Sweet, you beat me to it on the cheery tomatoes :rotfl:

Alias, where did you get those chocs
Cant say i blame you for buying them

Buttonmoons, :rotfl: at drinking the fat too. yuk

I have found you a recipe for lc tacos, have to say, they look a bit fiddly but soo nice, i might give them a go in the week.

I used tesco value pasta sauce as it was quite lc but was minging, is nicer to make the pasta sauce as in the lasagne recipe.
What are these mikado chocs and how big are they?
We (on here) use 85% dark choc.
I sometimes have a lc shake (from avidlite) for breakfast, tis just something to keep me ticking over til lunch.

Also for something sweet you could make the pancakes and have with da-vinci syrups, i keep meaning to order some but the postage really puts me off.
Must indulge tho, will be worth it if it keeps me on the straight and narrow, oh and the flavours available are quite unbelievable.
(Google them to find a supplier)

OMG alias!! I sooooo want to know what £58 worth of belgian chocolate looks (and tastes) like!! :drool:

I was in Home Bargains yesterday & they had a big bag of Thornton's rejects for 99p - I thought about buying some for hubby (yeah, right :rolleyes:) but knew I would end up scoffing the lot - I know myself too well!!

I'm struggling today tbh, haven't been naughty but have just felt sooooooo hungry & generally peed off!! :mad:

Had roast chicken & cauli/broc mash for dins - was out & it was soooo much easier, and quicker, to buy a ready-cooked chick instead of coming home & waiting for bolognaise to cook!! Sometimes you just need food now!! Well, I do!!

Just debating whether to have a hot chocolate now?? Got a jar of Cadbury's highlights yesterday - it's 4.6g carbs (of which sugars 3.7g) per serving, made with hot water, which I don't think is that bad actually. Was thinking of adding some double cream to it as well. Mmmmmmmm!!

Debate over. I'm off to make hot chocolate!! [STRIKE]Shame[/STRIKE] Just as well I don't have any marshmallows!!

My cheesy sauce is just double cream with grated cheese in it and brought up to simmer til the cheese melts, very rich tho, you dont need much.

Aah, have just googled those mikado chocs, tis the ones they all eat in work, not much to them and i'm sure a whole box would be needed :rolleyes:

Not tried them though.

Would rather have my raspberry concoction.
In fact, i just did.. scrummy.

Gotta disagree with that!! ^ :rotfl: But there again, my AE is Miss Piggy!!

Can also be made with creme fraiche if you prefer.

Try different flavour cheeses as well, smoked applewood cheddar is really nice.

Now that's weird, I posted earlier ...as a reply to Button..and it's not there. Not the first time that's happened. Very strange.

Anyway, chocolate was bought from a garden centre of all places. And it's in date, lol. I only went in for a bag of compost. :rolleyes:

Re: those Mikado choc things...don't buy them. :rolleyes: They are seriously, seriously, seriously, moreish. You will NOT be able to have just one ... or two. You need to trust me on this people. :rotfl:I push myself to the edge to road test these things for you, you know.
