Usually the whole bowl of the ice cream maker goes in the freezer. It takes up quite a lot of space but in the summer months I would think it well worth it.
Sorry I don't understand why you can't have eggs. Diary intolerance is usually due to the Lactose in milk isn't it which I am pretty sure is not in eggs. Or am I wrong?
Thanks everyone very helpful thread. You can also right click on the image you want and choose copy image address as well. Then paste it into your signature as before.
I lost 5lb last week but that was over two weeks and means I have lost the 5lbs I put on while away. Bit stuck at the mo. Not feeling great which does not help and this cold weather is a pain when you are dieting. Who wants to eat a salad for lunch (which is about the only thing I can eat and...
Thanks for all your great ideas. I am amazed at your low shopping bills. I checked my spending the other day and my supermarket bills are coming to a whacking £100-£150 a week. That's for 3 people and two cats (who I am trying to wean off Whiskas sachets). Unfortunately I don't get a lot of time...
I haven't been on Minimins for a month or so and have just realised how much I have missed it!!!!
Well done everyone your NSV's are inspiring.
Went on holiday during half term and before we went I bought myself a soft pink dressing gown to wear down to the pool in the resort from M&S. I...

I have a great recipe for chicken livers in tomato served with tagliatelli. Great for SW. Cut the liver small enough kids might think it is like bolognese. Just add extra cheese for OH and kids.
Will look out recipe and post tomorrow!
My daughter can't have lactose and most of the breakfast bars you can buy have milk or lactose in. So I thought I would adapt an old WW recipe I had. Perhaps someone could check my calculations for syn value?

Sue I think you'll find the Monday and Tuesday are holidays so doubt there will be any meetings. Also there is a recipe book out this week with Christmas recipes.
This may be a silly question but is the beetroot raw or cooked? Could you use weetabix instead of All-bran don't want to buy another cereal I don't eat otherwise.

I don't think any of them are free. The only free hot savoury drink would be Bovril which is yummy. Why don't you drink tea or coffee? I drink Red bush tea, or decaff tea/coffee.
I still have over 6 stone to lose. I have lost 18.5 lbs so far! In fact at my heaviest is was nearly 19 stone. Looking forward to sharing my journey with you all!
I just rang the syns hotline. Aparently the peach snackpot is a slightly different recipe with more sugar in. The size on here is not the pack size (very confusing). If something is free they just say 100g if it is syned they give the pack size. So if you have 330g (2 snack pots) of mango or...
It does say in the bit for casserole version to add 1/2 pint water. You may need less in a slow cooker as the lid makes a seal and as long as you don't keep lifting it to peek the moisture will stay in the pot.
I've lost 18.5 of those and I can feel the difference in my clothes, I can take my jeans off without undoing the button or zip now:p and have had to throw out some jog pants that just would not stay up anymore!!!!:D A looooooooooooot more to go though!!!:eek:
Gammon joint was really nice, so tender and moist. Had steamed potatoes, leeks and fine beans with it cooked in my new steamer. YUMMY
Beef casserole next me thinks!
Did potatoes in bottom tier and leek and fine green beans in the next tier the other night served with a gammon joint that I cooked in my slow cooker for most of the day. The meat was so tender and moist. Veg was good to. Might try steaming potatoes in it for SW chips!
I will be thinking and praying for you on Tuesday. I work in a church office and have officiated at a lot of funerals over the years some have been very sad and others a joyous celebration of the persons life.
My dad died a few days before my parents 50th anniversary. We told him a week...
Dear Hevz
So sorry for your loss. I too lost my Dad on 30th June this year he was 89yrs old. It has been a hard couple of months. My mum is really missing him and I am trying to help!
Your GP should be able to put you in touch with a local bereavement counselling service.
Got mine on today first time in yonks!!! Got a gammon joint in it resting on celery sticks and sprinkled with onion and just a bit of water in the bottom. Will let you know how it turns out.
We had to have our Rollie put to sleep last year as he had a spinal tumour and his back legs did not work properly. At first he just looked a bit drunk but over the next few months he got worse and worse as was eventually just dragging his back legs along. The vet gave him steroid injections...
Found this on syns online

I am surprised thought it would be free as long as you removed fat and skin!!!
There are lots of recipes on here. There is a recipe thread and you can also search the threads at the top just make sure you click the button next to www.minimins.com Also check out Britmumincanadas recipe page. Slimming Eats
Made this last night. Tasted really good. Some of the coating stuck to the baking tray so will use a non-stick sheet next time. Only used half the bovril, chilli and pepper. Didn't add mixed spice but might add some next time. Daughter said it was better than real KFC!
Take some Mug Shots to work and keep in your bag, locker or desk draw. Most of them are free or low syn, and are warm and filling. All you need is a mug, spoon and a kettle to make them up.
Cabbage is nice shredded and stir fried 50/50 with leeks if you have some. Blanche the green beans and use in salad Nicoise (French tuna salad). Cauli and Broccoli gratin I am sure there must be a SW recipe?
Blanche brocolli and use in a pasta sauce or use in soup with a little stilton? Or...
Is that Beetroot on the plate? Did it go with the chicken? Have heard of it served with beef before. I think the idea of cooking the chicken first is so it is drier and the breadcrumbs crisper?
Have you got the SW 100 saucy secrets recipe book? There is a pineapple Jalfrezi, vindaloo, dhansak, tikka, rogan josh, korma, tikka masala, dopiaza, & balti recipes aongst others.

Are you sure this is syn free? I have read on other threads that you have to syn things that you are substituting for flour like cous cous and chick peas in cakes, and nachos made with pasta, this is according to SW head office apparently!
Also not sure why people are putting...
Oh I love Lamb shanks. Like them slow braised with Moroccan spices, onions, apricots and prunes in stock and served with cous cous, yum. Will have to adapt to SW. They are so expensive now that they have become a 'trendy' dish.:cry: I haven't got a recipe thought I just make it up as I go. The...
Thanks first one I have tried already I liked but daughter didn't. Nice to take for breakfast. You make it sound so appetizing (lol) but I know what you mean.
I liked the quiche but daughter didn't. Back to drawing board. Have made some chicken and egg balls for tomorrow hope she likes them otherwise it will have to be sandwiches or pasta salad.
This is the one I made
The only ones I have seen have a scan bran or weetabix topping. Think I would rather have them plain with a dollop of quark on top. Try the strudle in the latest Magazine with different fruit. Apples and blackberrys maybe?
Have you looked on the website for crumble recipes? The new magazine has lots of recipes for plums which you could possibly adapt. Type in crumble recipe in the search box here and see what you get. I am sure britmum might have something!
When you have more room on your signature you can add them from here instructions given too.

Quiche is yummy had to try a bit before it went in the fridge. Overcooked the veg a bit before putting in the dish as they went to mush. Tasted good though. Hope daughter likes it as gave her a chunk for lunch at school.
:sign0144:Hi all realised i had not introduced myself. :booboo::ashamed0005:Been doing SW since June and have lost over a stone. Just found this forum the other day though! It is great. Lots of recipes, ideas and support. Already tried quite a few. Just made a quiche which is cooling down as i...
Just made a huge quiche with 6 eggs and quark. Mushrooms, peppers, onions, ham and cheddar (Hex), also added Pasta and sauce (tomato and onion) but drained off most of the sauce.
Would put a picture on but i can't yet. It looks good.
Spanx love your list on first post v funny :thankyou: .
My turning point came back in June when my dad was rushed to hospital after a third heart attack. He was always nagging me about my weight so I thought it was about time I did something seriously about it. My daughter was over weight too...
My husband makes a wonderful Foccacia which he is dying to make but as my daughter and myself are doing SW he will be in trouble if he does. :mad: We have both lost over 1 stone each in 12 weeks and are feeling really pleased with ourselves.:) I think this is a good steady weight loss.
Try one of britmums chocolate cakes. I made the chocolate banana weetabix cake the other day. It is only 12 syns for the whole cake. It is rather flat but tastes great or squidgy chocolate cake.:)
Muller light yogurts are great for a sweet fix too! If you want something creamier WW vanilla...
I am doing Extra easy so no worries about potatoes or parsnips. I do miss my bread though as I used to make my own, can only have a little now. Your dinner sounds almost the same as mine except hubbie is cooking it. Just hope he remembered no oil!!! He has not got the hang of this diet yet...
Thanks. Trouble is my daughter is fed up with sandwiches and is very fussy about veg. Salad is out of the question for her. I love salads but I too am getting a bit fed up with them. I have found the SW recipe on the website and will try it out. Do you have to use cotage cheese have you tried it...
I would realy like some ideas for packed lunches for myself and my 13 yr old daughter. Found a recipe on SW site for mini quiches made with ham instead of pastry case which sounds good, thought I might try making some with a jacket potato outside so they will travel better.
