how do you count the crackerbread ? i bought the Crackerbread original in a long packet 200g

Ryvita wholegrain crackerbread is 6 slices as a HEB choice.

Maman - I decided on making a chilli filling for my JP and did loads! I've now frozen 3 portions for future use. Why I've never done it before is beyond me!!!

Some very good weight losses here - well done to you all :j:j

Today is a Green day
breakfast - poridge with banana (milk HEA - porridge HEB)
mid morning snack - grapes + pear
lunch - Ainsly Harriot Roasted Vegetable cous-cous/nectarine and ww fromage frais
afternoon snack - orange
tea - pasta with tomato sauce + cheese HEA
perhaps a HiFi bar for pud (HEB)

I don't seem to use many syns and not because I don't want them, I'm just too full to eat! What do you all do with them? Although I will say that w/ends are usually a rush/busy time so if I'm not prepared it can go pearshaped so tend to over use them there + extra if I'm not careful :mad: - which is an absolute no-no as WI is on a Monday and there's no time for a being good catch up!

Syns dont have to be junk. Add a little extra cheese to your pasta, or a drizzle of honey to your porridge for example.
I weigh in on a monday and have been having saturday as a treat day without it affecting my losses yet. Obviously if i stop losing i'll ditch it.
But i've been eating at work which is beyond unfriendly as far as SW goes! Been having my regular SW breakfast and lunch and whatever i want for dinner.

I'm looking for a chilli beef recipe

Just looked on the recipe thread and my new find website http://www.slimmingeats.com and can't find one.

Can anyone help?

OOOH I just made one last night - recipe was in free booklet with this months magazine.

Serves 4

1 onion, finely chopped
3 sticks celery - finely chopped,
2 carrots - finely chopped,
(I added one green pepper - finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic - finely chopped
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp ground cumin (seemed quite a lot and I don't like this so only put in 1 tsp)
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1lb minced beef
1 tin kidney beans in chilli sauce (I didn't have these in chilli sauce so just added 1 tsp hot chilli powder - or to taste)
Because I didn't have the kidney beans in chilli sauce I added an extra tin of tomatoes and then thickened the sauce with 2 tsp cornflour

stirfry onion, garlic and meat for 5-8 mins till meat brown
add spices, veg and tomatoes - bring to boil and then simmer for 20 mins - till veg is soft
add kidney beans and cook 2-3 mins till warmed through - I thickened the sauce here.
Season to taste.

It was very nice and tasty. I made it just for me and had it with JP then froze 3 portions as there was plenty left over.

Hope this helps.

I must admit, it most definitely was worth it! It's only usually sugar in tea I syn anyway so should not be a problem having nothing else today, I hope!
