Can anyone help out with a recipe for rice pudding using the almond milk HEa please?

Hello all:) I've got some lovely 50/50 crab meat in the fridge and rather than do my normal pasta recipe, I wondered if anyone had any other ideas? I'm particularly keen to have a go at crab cakes!!

Sitting in group now waiting for kick off. Amazed that I lost a lb this week, considering how up and down I was. Still feeling very delicate and my emotions are haywire but gritting my teeth and staying because if I go home I'll feel worse. Is there any way we can exchange contact details...

It's more that I don't really have time for my own breakfast on the days I have the boys so fruit and coffee is the quickest thing. I have a lot of low syn snacks, but the trouble is, when they're there, I just eat them in one go! It's all majorly linked to my mood, when I'm feeling positive I...

I've eaten a mountain of chocolate buttons today. :( I had grapefruit and black coffee for breakfast, then duck noodle salad as I ate out with the boys for lunch. But I then had a bakewell slice. :((( I'm feeling ill from just generally being crap at restraining myself.

I feel totally and utterly rubbish today. I think it could potentially be a bit of a comedown episode following such a full on weekend, but I'm feeling the effects now and feel very low indeed. Have managed to get back on track .....ish but my willpower is ever decreasing

Yesterday was a good day :) Another day in rehearsals, so I started with sautéed potatoes (frylight) and baked beans. A hifi bar and black coffee on the drive there, and then 2 scan bran with Philly, cucumber and yellow pepper for lunch. I also had fresh fruit and mullerlight. We went out...

Such a busy active day! Been flinging myself around a dance studio all afternoon, and must have been working hard as I worked up a sweat! I slipped last night when I woke up at 5am and ate a toffee whoopie pie Id bought for OH (im guessing 15 syns from similar on syns online), plus a WW choc...

PS. I also bought a big spotty lunch bag and mini cool packs this evening!

Rehearsals are in the middle of nowhere, so I'm expecting there to be nothing, so really need to be prepared. I've made up this evening: Pasta salad (pasta, fromage frais, cucumber, radish, apple, celery) with leftover roast chicken separately Tzatziki with carrot sticks Then I'm going to...

Hi Hun :) been pretty frazzled today...mad day nannying with the boys. Breakfast was toffee ML and banana, then I gave in to 2 x ginger snaps at toddler group (but stuck to black coffee) Lunch was 4x scan bran with mushrooms and beans, and a smidgen of cheese. Then a bit later I had lady...

Hi LoChan! I do indeed take meds- I've been on sertraline for quite a while and have just started decreasing my dose with my Drs blessing. I've had a real nightmare getting help as I'm deemed to be "high functioning" but after years of bad therapy and unhelpful professionals, I've switched GPs...

Hola all! A quick check in for today: Brekkie: black coffee and pink grapefruit Lunch: SW lasagne (he:cheese) mullerlight yog Snack: 1 custard cream and 2 marshmallows (I was craving sugar and there was no fruit in the house!) Swim and dog walk/meander after work Supper (cooking now) salmon...

It was really nice reheated for my lunch today!!

I'm amazed it didn't split, so thank you for that! It's been a big hit with OH, and I enjoyed having something properly cheesy :)

Well, there it is! It didn't split but the texture was very odd indeed....a bit rubbery, like liquid halloumi. Despite that, it did taste cheesy, and my other half gobbled it up and declared it delicious! I'm not 100% sold on it, but as a "diet" dish then you can't really complain!

Ok, so my lasagne is ready: ta dah! I'm not at all sure about the consistency of the sauce though...it seems sort of rough and chalky, as if its threatening to curdle (don't you DARE!)

What is the meat content like in the tesco sausages? I'm really picky about good quality meat so I've been substituting normal sausages for veggie ones.

Hullo all :) So following my success on Wednesday I was feeling great, really chuffed. I kept my eating really controlled..... ...and then Friday happened. I'd planned to go out with my friend for her birthday, and promised myself an ice cream sundae as a treat. All fine, except we had a...

Hullo :)been a bit up and down since last week... I'm just about to post in my own thread if you want to visit there rather than me hijack this one.

Me either, but it seems to work so my advice would be-give it a go! They do a money back guarantee too

Merci beaucoup Ms Puss :) So cross though...as I stocked up on £3's worth yesterday!!!

Thanks Puss :) do you know why they're different?

Irony!!!

Having an eeny weeny panic because apparently mug shots you can buy from pound land are different syn values/not free. Please can someone help?

Oh, and I almost forgot the best bit.......

****the news live as it happens**** I lost two and a half!

Right-oh, so today has been a very odd day as I ended up having a lot less time then I originally imagined. I have however bought a klipit soup mug AND a klipit noodle bowl from Lakeland....cant bloomin' resist Lakeland things....I got tempted when I went in to get Butterbuds to try, and...

Thanks Liz, that's exactly what I was looking for. It's on the menu for tomorrow once I've had time to go buy quark....I couldn't find it in any of the supermarkets, and then eventually did last week.....now I can't remember where it was!

I'd also be interested to know what it tastes like? I LOOOOOVE cheese, but can't stand the synthetic artificial taste you often get with babybel etc.

I made a big batch of free mince last night, just had some with pasta, but I was thinking it would be awesome if I could make a really yummy lasagne. Now, the mince and pasta are sorted, which is great. However I could do with a tried and tested bechamel/cheese sauce recipe. I've had some real...

Thank you everyone :) Today was a bit of a nightmare day as one of the boys (3.5yo) hasn't been sleeping so was an absolute pain in the proverbial....... I was just glad to eat something full stop, and even happier it was relatively on plan! Just got home from the theatre where I ate a...

So far today: Banana x 2 and mullerlight Endless black coffee (I miss my lattes!) A 1cm sliver of birthday sponge cake (syn guesses?) Chicken mug shot and tomato mug shot I'm nannying today and quite often run out of energy in the afternoon, do I'm relying on coffee to keep me going and may...

A new notebook is a great idea! (I love stationary!) I really do appreciate everything you've all said so far. This whole thing makes me so emotional it's unreal, so your support is so important. Your dance analogy wasn't a bad one at all! However, I am actually a trained dancer, so in my...

Ohhhh....now I feel really rubbish. A symptom of my depression is that I find it really hard to focus and concentrate. I think one of the reasons I get caught out is that my head physically cannot take all the working out :((((

Oh sorry! I'd missed patchwork's post. The diary thing I find really hard.... I can't get on with the ones at SW because my writing is too big, and I always get confused when I try their online version.

Ok thank you :) where were the hidden syns in what I had??

There is a really yummy recipe in the latest magazine issue for 'Coq au Chardonnay' that would work in a slow cooker I think

Although not technically sausages, you can buy some really tasty veggie ones by Linda McCartney. Her rosemary and red onion ones are completely free and I think really tasty!

Ok, now I'm confused as I'm sure I read in one of the SW books that blended fruit is free!

I'm having serious cravings for crisps.....has anyone got any low syn alternatives?

Oh this is just fab! I've been trying to have americano when I go but it's so rank I may just allow myself the syns. Thank you!

Ok, so here does with the last few days of eating: Saturday (a day I teach all day) Brekkie: 2x whole meal bread (HE) with lean grilled bacon, little gem lettuce and reduced salt/sugar ketchup (1syn) Oops: cake sale at work.... Choco chip cookie (god knows!) Snacky lunch at home: chicken noodle...

I'm on Slimming World too. Everyone seems so friendly here, I'm hoping it could be the extra push I need. PS. please call me Emily-Rose, or just plain Emm, I hate being an Emily!

At the group I go to, they say you really should try and have your syns. It seems people who don't have any can often maintain or even gain. Being able to have little treats is really the only thing that keeps me going, I would be so miserable if I couldn't have any at all. That said, I'm...

I'm new too :) I haven't got as much to lose as some people -about 3st - but I'm a short ar$e so it's actually quite a bit for me.

Hi there new friends! My name is Emily-Rose, I'm 27, I LOVE food, and I joined Slimming World about a month ago with a start weight of 12st 6lbs (Im a diddy lass at 4' 11") So far I have lost 5lbs, which seems like nothing when I go to group and hear how some people lose that in a week (!) but...
