Slimming World - a Christmas countdown!

DKAM:wave: Is it the rice pudding with muller you tried? I haven't tried it myself but that's because I am pretty sure I won't like it... I am mostly a hot food girl tbh and only like rice pudding made properly, milk, sugar and a big splodge of jam when served lmao......not very SW friendly!

Mrs M - Aren't you kind to the birdies:D Looking forward to the lasagne recipe, I love bacon, and I love lasagne......so i'm thinking it sounds nice:p

I am having an EE day today

Weetabix (HEa HEb)
Choccy drink (2 syns)
Baked potato with ham, cheese and beans(6 Syns I think?)
Large fruit salad)

Having chicken rogan josh and rice for dinner later Will need to work out any syn values for oil etc but shouldn't be many...

I am now doing 20 mins a time on the exercise bike, plus 60 crunches, 10 leg raises (these are so hard for me) and 5 press ups.....not bad considering 3 weeks ago I could only do 10 crunches, 1 leg raise and 2 press ups:o

betty, I had this the other day, dread to think what syns were for it http://www.pret.co.uk/menu/pret_pots_desserts/hot_cold_granola_3476.shtm SYNFULLLLL!!!

If you like the crunchy type cereal have you tried grape nuts. I know its not granola but it is very crunchy, you could add extra dried fruit etc from your HEB allowance or syns

I think the main prob with muesli etc is that they have dried fruit in that is quite high syn. Ill check my directory for yuou in a bit

mmmmm???

Not sure whether this may be classed as 'food abuse' tho the same as cous cous cake is .....or when we make crisps and try convince ourselves its free ??

Maybe when consultant pops in she will be able to tell us

1 can of chickpeas (make sure they are in water, NOT brine)
1.5oz sweetener (the more expensive the better, prevents any bitterness)
3 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
3 sachets Options hot chocolate (any flavour) or whatever else you may want to flavour the cake with. I've also used 5 tsp coffee granules dissolved in a tiny bit of water

Rinse and drain the chickpeas, and put all ingredients into a blender. Blend until as smooth as possible. Spray a cake tin thouroughly with Fry Light and bake for 40 minutes at 190.

Some will say you need to syn the chickpeas - our consultant says we don't need to and I expressly refuse to syn them because pulses break down the same way regardless of their cellular structure. I've been eating it throughout my weightloss and it's done no harm.

Job done!

Hmm I know in the last thread wootball i dont think you were with us then, but there is a "misuse of free foods" rule.

I agree with you about the cellular struture. I was also considering eg cassava flour today whilst I was out, there is also a chickpea flour as well ( is that fufu?, I cant remember)
