Here you go, to save you searching further:

Mushy pea curry
3 cans of mushy peas
1 can of baked beans
Onions and mushrooms (as many as you like)
1 tablespoon of sweetener
Curry powder to taste
Fry light

Brown the onions and mushrooms in Frylight then add all the rest of the ingredients. Cook gently for 20-30 mins.
If you find the mixture too thick add a drop of water.
Serve with boiled rice or as a filling for baked potatoes.

now i like mushy peas but this sounds vile - is it nice ?? and thank you for finding it tho xxx

Right, i worked this out very crudely inbetween doing a million things

Flour is 4½ syns per 28gms - 339.75 grams = 54.6
Sugar is 1 syn per level teaspoon 2 syns (optional)
Dried yeast is ½ syn per level teaspoon (2½ per 28gms) 1.5 syns
½ pint milk is 7½ for semi / 4½ for skimmed / 9¼ for whole 3.75

61.85 (62 to round up) syns for two small loaves of around 400g each. Each small loaf split into 6 portions = 32 syns per loaf, or 5.33 - per sixth of a loaf. The loaf size 400g /6 = 66.66g so not far off a HEB !

this is why i don't understand how it can't be subbed for a HEB ?

Also wondered is it possible to make your own frylight? My bottle says it is 57% (from memory) oil , and remaining is water and preservative /other. If you diluted it to that ration with water, would that be the same job?

Sorry

It has nothing to do with the syns - HEBs have to have a certain amount of fibre and you would have trouble finding out how much fibre is in your hm bread.

I have heard of people making their own spray oil - again if you want to follow the plan 100% I'm not sure it would work properly. However, I'm sure you don't use that much of it so give it a go and see what happens to your weight losses.

Hope that helps a bit

Morning all

Yet another overcast n drizzly day here ...

Kayda -I work those bars out to be 3.5 syns

My EE meal plan for today is:-

• 250ml semi skimmed (A)
• 2 weetabix (B)
• 125ml semi skimmed (3)
• 1 Apple
• sliced ham
• cottage cheese
• Huge salad
• orange
• SW sweet n sour pork (1.5)
• vegetable noodles
• fruit
• creamy yogurt (8)

The sweet n sour is a new recipe -so I will let you know if its a good one -and post the recipe if needed
Today I have managed to pencil in 12.5 syns ..so Im getting there (Im determined to try and use as many as I can) -I think the answer to using my syns up easier has to be the scrummy creamy yogurts
We will be popping out this evening as we need more sparkling water -Im getting through between 3-4.5lts a day :eek: -so whilst we are out I will be doing another fruit n veg top up ..
Have a great day everyone:D

It's the ASDA wholemeal pitta but someone commented that they believed it no longer was - but I've checked before posting this and it is still listed at the bottom of the HEBs on the website (diary page) - goody!:j

Ooh thanks. I love pitta. In particular I love pitta pizza so I'm thinking HEB with chopped tinned tomatoes and HEA cheese would be lovely with a nice big salad.

WI tonight for me. I had a day off Saturday while I was on a Hen weekend, and I've had a few lockets for my cold so I'm not overly hopeful. I need 0.5lb to get my stone, so I would be happy if I could get that. Today's menu (green)....

B-LF Yogurt, Banana, Options (2 syns), Fibre Plus Bar (HEB1)

L-Cottage Cheese and Baked Bean Burgers, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Apple

D-Pasta with Pesto mixed with Quark (2.5 syns), 28g Cheddar (HEA1), Blueberries

S- Skinny Latte (HEA2), Satsuma, Mint Club (5.5 syns)

=10 syns

Im sure you enjoyed the scone

The roll wouldn't have been ok as a HEB - a HEB is usually around 6 syns - and is assessed as such for its filling power . a HEB is from a list of pre approved things - examples being 57g of any wholemeal bread (excluding pitta as they are not as filling). Another eg would be 1 hovis golden wholemeal roll, or 2 slices white nimble bread . (you will get this list in your book at class )

Granary bread doesn't seem to feature at all for Hebs in my book. So if you hadn't had the scone , but still had the granary bread - that's entirely fine as you could syn the granary roll

MrsMcA - you're a legend, thank you! :jFunny how we both fell into the low fat pre made chicken trap we don't normally! :rotfl:Feel very full today so maybe i will give EE a go and try to avoid bread so often

Greenpixey - congrats! :T

GISI - i would assume that would be ok, but wait until someone who knows answers Pittas mustn't have good filling power (or be fibre rich)

My Consultant said that the reason we're not allowed granary bread as a "b" choice is because the grains in it are oily.:(

I made this on monday, it was lovely and it didnt taste of mushy peas. The amount of curry powder you put in makes it taste like a curry sauce. I would recommend that you add some water to it unless you like it really thick. I did smooth the sauce with a stick blender otherwise my kids would have spotted the peas

Will have to give the mushy pea curry a go!:D I was thinking about adding Quorn - I love Quorn!:D Did you use three whole tins of mushy peas?? We would only be making it for two people.

I wonder if anyone can advise about tinned fruit?

I am trying to have plenty of fresh fruit, but thought I'd get some tins in store for when I run out.

I see it counts as syns whether it is in syrup or juice.

However, I only like it dry and always throw away ALL the juice.

Are we allowed to subtract some syns for that?

Or is it just too much of a faff?

Many thanks for any words of wisdom! :T
