Brand new thread for Slimming World support

mumoftwo

I love laughing cow triangles, eat them almost every day for my HEa, thanks for the tip.

I am cooking the coq a vin out of the SW World of Flavours book, and it is smelling so good, can't wait to get my chops around that, I know OH will like it, not so sure about the teenagers who hate mushrooms and celery. Telling them that it has booze in it (red wine) might soften the blow, and make it more appealing. If they don't like it, they can have toast later.

The sauce is quite thin, lots of liquid in the recipe, so will try to cook it down a bit and the chicken has gone a funny colour in the red sauce

Will let you know later if it was good and worth the ingredients.

Afternoon all

I had a text today to say that my close friend is going in for his brain surgery tomorrow . When I got the news that he was ill I went totally off the rails and put on 10lbs. However this time I have taken the news calmly, and even though I was in Tesco at the time, I didn't buy anything crap at all.

Why not have a few weeks off the booze then Daisy, it should help kick-start? I dont drink often ( go me) im sure part of the 4lb gain was some serious boozing in barcelona

Thanks MrsMcawber, jsut as I thought

Can anyone take a look at the website and tell me how much a Morrisons Crisproll ( similar to Pagen) is each?

2 1/2lb gain !!!!!! im bouncing around at the bottom of 11's for weeks now and am completely self sabotaging each weekend and cannot drop into the 10's as a result !!

i just love my alcohol .....but it doesnt love me its all synned - mostly - just causes a temp gain of about 5 lb each weekend that doesnt always shift in time for WI

Arrghhh....didnt dare stop for meeting as this is 3rd time this has happened now - up and down up and down !!

A friend that goes to group saves almost all her syns up to have her vodka & wine (s) & takeaways at the weekend....It works for some-but It never worked for me saving syns......I got to the stage I was borrowing the following weeks lol

I cant drink now with my meds (that and I already feel half cut most of the time with my wobbles anyway ) but when I did I found it really hard to juggle whether I sat down with a glass of red or a kit kat thru the week :eek: booze is sooooo high in syns even when you have shorts a double is still nearly a kitkat! so im kinda glad now I dont have to choose ........tho I would like a big glass of merlot now & again if I didnt need carrying after it

Evening all

Flutterby-Camp -is Camp coffee -its the old fashione liquid stuff.. I make an iced coffee every evening -Im an addict . I could make it with instant coffee for 0syns -but I love camp, my dad used to put it me in cold milk when I was ickle and it brings back lovely memories every time I have it . I can't get it out here so hubbies mate dragged me 6 bottles back from the Uk

Mumof2.... OH BUM :mad:-I didn't think you would be making it yet -I meant to say I reduce the amount of liquid I use (I do in most SW recipes)... you know if/when you make it again (tis one of my faves) ... I make the sauce 1st, with less stock and then reduce it right down so it thickens BEFORE I put the chicken in (and yes it goes pinky )... I also use breasts not thighs.... the Tuscan chicken is nice too (and uses less ingredients) and again I use breasts... hope you like it...
ooooohh ohhhh and as a cheaper but just as tasy dish -I do the coq au vin sauce without the chicken and its yummy on pasta ..ooh oohh and I only use 1 rasher of bacon per portion (smoked is best)-I think they put far too much bacon in -especially when you are having chicken too....

Redmel -I often have my bolognaise, chilli in a bowl and have it with home made weges ...I actually prefer it

Lynz power -I use 198g new potatoes, 227g jacket/old potatoes with skins on for my heB -I can't see it making much difference -I don't buy "jackets" -we like ickle potatoes baked more than "jacket" ones :rotfl:

heck that was some waffle
