Thanks Vickie.:) Will have to get some pickled onions when I go in Asda tomorrow! My mouth was watering at the muffin!:rotfl:
You giving me great ideas!:DI'm having a mug shot tomato and herb for lunch tomorrow - me thinks my 2 oz cheese would make it extra yummy!:D0 -
I've got the pickled onion soup on the cooker as we speak. I will let you know my verdict later.
I had a whole (well bar the bit my son had) Padana pizza (40 syns) for lunch, followed by a semi freddo reale (not on the syn finder)...oops. It was delish though, and I am eating pickled onion soup for tea to make up for it! I also did aqua aerobics and a long walk this morning so hopefully not too much damage.
Just tasted the soup and it is yummy. Highly recommended. I might try having it every day for lunch with some ryvitas and dairylea triangles or something. I think that would be good.:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

Will definitely be cooking up some pickled onion soup on Sunday!:D
I'm sure the long walk and aqua aerobics will outweigh the pizza and freddo reale.
And as my Consultant would say it is only one meal out of 21!!:)
What is a freddo reale by the way?? Sounds yummy!0 -

It's one of their mini 'dolcetti'- a little pud with a coffee. The semi freddo is a little scoop of ice cream with praline and nougat in it. It is delish and perfect for me as I struggle to eat a whole pud after a big meal.:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

Sounds super yummy!:D I always use to eat big puddings; but since I've been doing Slimming World; I generally have a muller light yogurt for dessert at home; so like you struggle with the big desserts when I go

Oh I love that too, though i prefer the fig one (think its called reale too?).:starmod:C'est la vie:starmod:0 -
Morning all.
i fancy trying the pickled onion soup also as it sounds yummy. I dont have any tinned carrots though and they give me the boke
. Has anyone used fresh carrots and how many did you use? I have loads to use up anyway.
I reckon a week of the soup using scan bran to dip instead of bread will give me a good boost lol.:santa2::xmastree::santa2:0
