    Any rissoto ideas for green please?

    I usually add peas, broad beans, green beans. But when I frylight the rice and onions I do you add a little splosh of white wine!! I also find a little lemon juice is nice in it! Because I'm on EE I always add chicken or lean bacon. Lovely winter warmer!!

    Red Day Whole roasted Lemon Chicken (slow cooker)

    Syns - save or spend??

    My consultant doesn't recommend you carry them over because it encourages bingeing but unfortunately if I have more than three lagers it usually tips me over. I think vodka is probably the best drink to have with a diet mixer! If I do over indulge a little at the weekend I just try to get back...

    Syns - save or spend??

    I don't know whether this is right or wrong but I try to keep my syns to a minimum - I try not to go over six a day. I definitely try not to use any in cooking. I do find though that I have a little splurge on alcohol - usually Saturday night!!!

    slow cooker Questions!

    I find with slow cookers that you have to go steady with the stock or liquid. You need hardly any otherwise your sauce can be a little on the thin side! Enjoy your curry! :)

    What's for dinner tonight then?

    I'm on EE so tonight we are having ham, frylight eggs, sw chips and beans - and I'm starving!! :D
