tonight I'm doing a sort of greek mezze style dinner - have just looked up the recipes and tweaked them!

Leftover chunks of lamb are going to be diced and cooked with yellow peppers, mushroom, onion, tomatoes, red chilli and chickpeas.
Then I'm doing green lentils with red chilli, cumin, coriander, sweetcorn, spring onion and carrots
And some boiled and diced potato fried (in frylite) with paprika
then hm hummus and hm yog dip with fresh mint and garlic, and some slices of grilled halloumi! yum!!

Cor, that sounds lovely (apart from the meat, I am a vegetarian). I am going to steal some of your ideas for a meal at the weekend. Let me know how the recipes work out.
Today is better not discussed. It was open evening at school, so didn't get home til 9.45pm. Gave in to the staff buffet after school
Starting afresh tomorrow...

Evening all, I made the thai gree curry with the coconut essence tonight. It was yummy and I think only 1 syns per serving!!

This is how I did it.....
Fried off the chicken in fry light, added chopped onion, baby sweetcorn & sugar snap peas, cooked that off.
In a measuring jug I measured 1 pint of semi skimmed milk (I used my half as my allowance) and added about 1.5 teaspoons of coconut essense to the milk.
Poured this into the pan with the chicken, added two tablespoons of asda thai green curry paste (1 syns per tbsp) simmered this for a bit & added some smash flakes to thicken the sauce slightly. Served with boiled rice.
It really was yummy, felt like it was much naughtier than it was!! Deffo worth a try tho I know the coconut essence can be hard to track down I got mine on ebay, super fast delivery & just under £3 for 2 small bottles delivered.

I will be trying this with tofu instead of the chicken, great idea, thanks.

Hey all! I'm a newbie I'm Lindsay just stumbled across this site so thought i would drop a line! I'm going to my first slimming world meeting tomorrow not looking forward to stepping on the scales i know myself i have piled the weight on over the last couple of months time to do something about it! Slimming world seems quite difficult to get my head around! I'm hoping it will all become clearer tomorrow so sorry in advance for any silly questions!

I just have 1 at the moment for breakfast tomorrow i have original instant oats in the cupboard 27g sachets i read that oats can be a healthy extra B but with 1 scan bran??? what?? lol Is there anything i can substitute that with? Many thanks! xxx

Its one bar for HEb


Am very stressed, came home from work to find dog had been very ill. The smell hit me as soon as opened door . Bless him he was very docile when I'd finished cleaning up the mess [yuk]. Good job he was caged. When son came home he gave dog a shower & hubby cleaned the cage [which I'd lugged outside]. I still think I drew the short straw though . He seems ok now though. Son has day off college tomorrow so will be able to keep eye on him .

poor baby,what colour was it? if it was brown poo colour its something he ate,if its burgundy colour its quite serious
