Great recipe, thanks! If only my place in September had a proper freezer... it just has a freezer compartment in the fridge Might halve it though, 4 portions to freeze and 1 to eat won't take up too much space!

Also topping a jacket potato with it is a tasty option! Should be less PP than pasta etc, 5 points for 250g uncooked weight isn't it?

Only lost half a chuffing pound this week. Shall ease off on my pasta consumption and see if that helps next week - I suspect so. That's still 8lbs in three weeks though, so I'm not complaining. Much

Half a pound off isn't a gain though!

Check it out:



Here is 1lb of fat. So 1/2 a lb is still a very decent amount!

Jings. That's going to be the sobering image in my head the next time I fancy some cheesecake

17 points for a regular chicken nugget meal at McDonalds! Or 19 for MCchicken sandwich meal. I have been having one every couple of weeks!

Yikes- I hadn't worked out any McD's- definitely stick to avoiding there at all costs then! (though now I could just eat some nuggets, or their breakfast... mmm...)

Bolognaise

Ingredients:

3 peppers (any colour) 0 points
1 large onion 0 points
500g extra lean beef mince 22 points
Mushroom (around 150g) 0 points
1 teaspoon garlic puree 1 points
2 tablespoons tomato puree 1 points
30g oats 3 points
100g red lentils 9 points
2 cans chopped tomatoes 0 points
2 beef stock cubes in around 400ml water 1 points

This makes loads so you need to bear that in mind when selecting your pan size

Spray some 1cal cooking spray into the pan and add the chopped onion and pepper, leave for a couple of minutes until soft. Add the mince. I normally add some mixed Italian herbs at this point too - as well as a wee sprinkle of garlic granules.

Once the mince is browned, throw in the canned tomatoes, purees and stock. along with the oats and lentils (this thickens it and makes it last longer :money:) Add the mushrooms after about ten minutes.

Simmer for half an hour and it's done

This makes 9-10 portions (assuming that 1 portion is a heaped ladlefull) and is very yummy. This works out at 4PP per portion - don't forget your pasta/bread will be more.

Off to make dinner quickly then got my WI, so will post the chilli recipe tomorrow

I made this! minus the mushrooms, garlic puree & stock and added garlic, peppers & kidney beans came out as 4pp, I had 100g rice & mashed cauliflower & a tomato. twas delish FF! x

Yay, glad to be of help!

I'll post my chilli recipe in a bit and point it for you too

We're going to be eating chilli and mince for weeks...I got to Tesco as the wee man was doing the reductables - extra lean mince was down to £1.32 for 500g - we've not got 2kg :money: :rotfl:

I had a big mac, fries & a latte at the weekend & was so disappointed to have wasted those points
