Hi Lou and Liz - making sure I dont burn the chips reading through all the pages! Loads of meal ideas though to have a go at!

Liz - I am aiming at losing 100lbs (7st 2lb) so I have a lot to lose!

Lou - Im having my chips with 2 fried eggs as well - I get so excited over food! Well done on managing to restrain yourself to 1 biscuit - Id have had the pack by now! x x

Good luck, I have another 24lb to lose, we can both do it! :beer:

I have a couple of potentially difficult weekends coming up and I'm wondering how to get through them without gaining weight?

Next weekend I'm going to London with my OH for a couple of days then the following weekend is my 30th birthday and I obviously want to celebrate properly, does anyone have hints and tips for surviving times like this?

I'm making butternut squash and red lentil curry tonight for me, chicken and mushroom for him (non sw) and I've made shedloads of bombay bahjis (sw) for me so I don't get all resentful that he has onion bahjis and samosas! In fact, there should be loads left for me to take to work for lunch tomorrow.

can you share the recipe for the butternut squash and red lentil curry. it sounds very appealing

Hi guys,

OH is away Tuesday and Wednesday night, and instead of my usual green 'alone' meal of pasta, baked beans & cheese or SW chips can someone give me another idea? Pref free and easily cookable for one (no space in the freezer). Will have some baby new pots left - can you bake them with something nice sprinkled on them?? Thanks

Branston do a new tin of chickpeas in a masalla sauce and I have boiled some baby pots and poured the tin over them for lunch tomorrow. Just thought it would be something different.

BB Lasagne

Sometimes I do as the recipe says - other times I use half the amounts and lasts me for two meals for one - if I have enough SW chips with it - they go sooooo well together:


Servings | 4
Syns Per Serving | Green – Syn Free*
* Add 6 Syns per serving if not using the Cheddar cheese as a Healthy Extra option



Ingredients
- Fry Light
- 2 large onions, finely chopped
- 2 red peppers, de-seeded & chopped
- mushrooms (optional)
- 2 x 400gm cans baked beans in tomato sauce
- 2 x 400gm cans chopped tomatoes
- salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- splash of Worcestershire sauce
- splash of soy sauce
- dried lasagne sheets
- 168gm (6oz) reduced fat Cheddar cheese, grated*

Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6.

2. Heat a large pan sprayed with Fry Light and cook the onion, peppers, mushrooms and garlic for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft.

3. Add the baked beans, chopped tomatoes, salt & pepper and the Worcestershire & soy sauces & mix together.

4. Layer the tomato mixture alternately with the lasagne sheets in a large oven-proof lasagne dish, starting & ending with the tomato mixture.

5. Cover with foil & bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with the cheese and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

You can of course vary the contents - I add much more garlic than the recipe suggests and also add several splashes of Hot Chilli Sauce (please note this is likely to incur some Syns)
It is very easy to make , quick and tasty
