KBB I wish I was living with your dad! My parents are fairly slow eaters too, but my OH eats so fast it gives me indigestion just watching him. Unfort I subconsiously try and keep up with him as otherwise I don't get a look in if it's something we're sharing :rolleyes:

ps does anyone have a breadmaker? How do you count the bread from it, please, if it's possible?

Hi I do!

If you make a simple wholemeal loaf, you can count 57g of it (a medium slice) as 1 x HEB or 6 syns.

I have also made a batch of wholemeal dough, shaped it into rolls (weigh the balls of dough) and baked in the oven.

.... just try to avoid the butter :rotfl:

Oh, and does anyone know of any other instant dried noodles that are free on green other than Batchelors? (i.e. cheaper??) Ta

Catt - buy the 7p noodles from Asda*,chuck the sachet of chemicals away,prepare as usual then add soy sauce and/or sweet chilli sauce (much less syns than the 'flavour' that comes with the noodles),coriander or chives (fresh is best but dried can be added when making the noodles) and if you have a spare empty frylight bottle or an oil mister then fill it 1/3 - 1/4 full with sesame oil,top up with water,shake and spray over the hot noodles for chemical free,syn free,taste full genuine (ish:D ) cheap-cheat-eat chinese noodles:rotfl:
Or just cook in chicken bovril:D :rotfl:
Tesco do 9p noodles also**


*All good supermarkets will offer cheap noodles that are free if you throw the sachet of crap away.....
**Prices accurate at the time of going to press....
***The writer does not advocate only using 'good' supermarkets,or promote the sole use of Tesco or Asda for grocery shopping purposes.....
****The writer is not responsible for Sainsbury's and Waitrose probably not selling cheap noodles but still being 'good' supermarkets.....

Wey hey! :j I'm glad about that, bread is so dear. So is butter thankfully isn't it, lol! I'll have to save that for the kids. :rolleyes:

I guess that same applies with the pizza dough if it's made wholemeal and it's measured properly? Of could I maybe use bread dough recipe and make pizza bases out of that, then use cheese as a healthy extra too. Hmmm. I'll give that one a go! Excited about experimenting already! :T

Thanks against Angie!

LOL @ KBB! thanks for the noodle advice!

What doesn SW call 'reduced fat' cheddar? Anything with low fat/healthy living on it???

Can you tell I'm going 'back to basics'!

I think it's any cheese that is at least 30% less fat than standard varieties.I can recommend Cathedral City as the only reduced fat cheddar I like and it actually melts properly too,most of them seem to go crispy,almost like parmesan crisps but without the flavour!I wouldn't touch 'diet' cheddar again with a barge pole - it was vile and you didn't even get to eat more (it's half fat not a third so I thought I'd get more:D ) not that you'd want more anyway....personally if I can't get r/f CC or it's not on offer then I buy the basics range mature cheddar and just have an ounce - it has so much more flavour it's worth having less and enjoying it more I think.
I have tried the tesco diet cheese,the les-kol one,tesco,asda and co-op r/f cheddars and the CC one - IMO they were all vile except CC which is very expensive unless on offer.

HTH!

beachbeth - is that sweet n sour recipe totally free? Yummy! :drool:

Yes, free on red. Its out of my "slimming world free foods" recipe book. Im going to try more recipes out of it because the sweet and sour was so nice.

Skint_Catt

KBB - I've tried the les-kol one and it was awful - pure rubber. R/F CC is on offer in Asda at the mo - thats' the one I was looking at! :j
