Has any one got any SW friendly ideas or recipes for cooked ham?? I cooked a gammon joint a couple of days ago for something that didn't come off, so I've got a lot to eat! (OH is veggie so can't help me out with it.) I'll have some tonight with veggies and slice some for salads but a bit stuck for other ideas.

Risotto
Frittata

Pea and Ham Soup
Ham Hash
Ham, Egg and SW chips
Slice and freeze in portions - this is what I do because I don't like most supermarket hams, the deli stuff is expensive with the amount I eat so I buy a small gammon, roast it and slice

That's what I do. It freezes really well.


Another idea is to add to an omelette pasta bake or a carbonara type meal.

Hi everyone, I did really well today but let myself down eating a Topic which I have just finished .i know I shouldn't have things like that with being diabetic but i haven't had one for about 20 yrs. I won't have one again for probably another 20 yrs. I feel a bit sick now :eek:

This will be my Sunday menu plan...

Breakfast... porridge A/B mixed berries.

Lunch..Ham or salmon salad,beetroot light salad cream 2 syns pear.

Dinner.. steak and 1 dumpling jersey potatoes fresh peas, couple of sprigs cauli few green beans.

Extra f f yoghurt. Ryvita and butter 6 syns
6 syns plus the 1 dumpling made with vegetable suet if anyone knows the syn value . :)

Plus side is that the Topic was probably half the size of the one you ate 20 years ago!:rotfl:

Hi all

I'm back from my med cruise and at WI today I'd gained only 1/2 lb so was well pleased with that but I've failed in losing that stone I wanted to lose - my loss for this challenge is 8.5lbs.

I look at peas in a new light these days saver upper . They aren't Speed but they are free and they add to protein so better than just carbs.

Welcome back - you did really well to only gain 1/2 lb on a cruise, most people gain half a stone!

Gettingtheresometime - that's brilliant as LL says most people would put on 1/2 stone or more!

Today's plan:

B - bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomato, beans & fried up LO mash
L - ham salad sandwich - cucumber, tomato, spinach (didn't buy any lettuce this week!) spread with LTL mayo (HEB + 0.5)
D - lamb dauphinoise hotpot - lamb, carrots, onion, garlic, tomato puree topped with potato, sweet potato, cream; have worked out the syns to 5.5 for portion (assuming I get the 8 portions the recipe says it's for, LOL!). If not I'll have to recalculate the syns.

At least I'll have another 2-3 meals out of it.

Off to sort out the lamb (which I slow cooked yesterday) and needs to have the fat taken off and thrown away and then shredded in the same way you'd do pulled pork.

Have a good day everyone.
