Sounds good to me, sounds like an EE to me then you dont have to syn the potato ( or the spag bol? ) whatever it is?

Although that means no cheese on the chips?!!?

They are all of a muchness IMO

I thought if I had the beef mince in the spag bol as a HEb this would be a green day?

Have I done it wrong then?

Hi Lizzy I think it was confusing (well it confused me for a moment) because you said "free and HEB" whereas you had listed the food in the order of HEB (bolognaise) and free (jacket spud). If you do it in the other order (jacket pot = free, and bolog = HEB, which is what you meant) it is ok for a green day. I'm getting myself more tangled now

let me get back to my watercress soup (making it because the cress will be soggy tomorrow; I do prefer it fresh and green to pureed and slurpy ) and then the pub quiz. Hope there's some SW questions :rotfl:

WI tonight & I lost 1.5lbs woohoo!! Got my half stone award :A

We had a taster session tonight & I was amazed at how much gorgeous food there was, savoury & sweet :drool: It did make me think that I need to broaden my horizons & stop making chilli so much!! I took the syn-free onion bhajis in & they were lovely, definitely make them again

So I don't think I'll do a meal plan for today - not sure I could remember what I've eaten anyway, lol!! Think some of the puds had syns so I probably won't have any more tonight.

Im the same with my meals....I seem to go through phases of cooking the same few dishes - until I get bored and try something else lol. OH is quite fussy tho, so thats half the problem in my house - he doesnt eat chicken all of a sudden (I love it) and any curry dishes cant have cloves or cinammon in.....MEN :mad:

Cinnamon is considered an Unmanly Spice I think - I have a friend who can pick out cinnamon in a dish from a mile off. I think it's quite harmless myself.

I got the new Hairy Bikers Mums know best book from the Book People today, I really fancy making the chocolate mousse.

I used the SW website to work out the syns based on the ingredients used and....I make it over 50 syns per serving!!!!!

Is it going to be worth saving the best part of a weeks syns for it?!

L - giant salad - lettuce, spinach, cuc, toms, pepper, sp onions, pasta, new pots, balsamic vinegar, HB egg
D - SW wedges, beans, quorn sausage, salad cream (2.5syns), RD ketchup (2syn)
Snacks - banana, Activa FF yog, Kellogs fibre + (HEB), green thunder cheese (HEA).

Exercise - 45mins at gym

Total syns = 4.5

I have syns left (and haven't actually eaten my HEB yet!) but I'm stuffed at moment. May have some jelly and creme fraiche if I fancy it for 2syns.

Hope you all had good days
