Thanks that is brilliant and totally worth it when you need something quick, only frozen meal I've ever had that actually tastes fresh! :-D

Hi everyone I'm looking for the syn value of an Amy's kitchen vegetable lasagne if anyone knows? They are lovely and have one in my freezer but won't eat it until I know what the damage is :-( Thanks in advance

They look amazing! Definitely going on the list, thanks for the recipe and pictures :-)

Hi I heard about refried beans being free but which brand are they? I saw that the tinned old El Paso ones have sunflower oil in them so assumed it wasn't them? Thanks in advance :-)

Love an all day breakfast! You forgot the SW chips though lol I know what I am having tomorrow! :-)

This is great, I use frozen veg too, it's definitely harder with a baby as you shouldn't give them low fat versions of anything which is all that I am buying for me! I buy the McCain's frozen jacket potatoes too, only 1 syn each (on EE last time I checked) and they taste sooo much better then a...

Some fab ideas I am going to try on this thread but also a few more, have you tried philly and mashed up seafood stick run through? That's really nice as is philly, sweetcorn and a diced quorn sausage, that's my favourite over tuna pasta :-) x

This sounds delicious, could you post the recipe for BBQ chicken please as I haven't bought the magazine x

Wow that is a lot, going to have to have a rethink for after work dinners! Thanks for your help, real Chinese is too tempting lol would rather save that for a treat/occasion as I am weak and will end up with something else that's naughty! Back to the drawing board! X

Omg that is high! Thanks for your reply! I love the sweet and sour one as add quorn chicken and it tastes as good as a Chinese would :-) would have to find out the value of that before buying again! The search option isn't as good on the app though x

Hi all, not sure if already posted but uncle bens rice time pots are £1 in tesco starting today :-) brilliant price but does anyone know the syn values of these, I can't find the thread x

Hi girls, this is a grey area with SW as it is to do with quantities and how much you can eat as crisps vs how much you can eat as a vegetable and how people are far more likely to eat beyond what they normally would making them into crisps. I may be wrong but think its also the way it is cooked...

Definitely need a "cheesecake" in my life right now it sounds amazing! Anyone know which Quark is better to use though, Asda or Tesco's? Have heard there is a difference in texture? Also heard a lot about Pete's.peanut butter curry, could someone point me into the direction of the recipe please? :)

Brilliant idea, going to be using this thread when I am out of ideas!

Mirror thing is very true, since having my baby 7 months ago my mirror had to go in order to make room for the cot...have put on over a stone since then! Not good!

And you can see what its like before it appears on Facebook and can ask the person to take another instead lol

Reading your story I wish you the best of luck trying to cut down, it helps to talk and takes a lot to say that something isn't right so good for you :-)

Good luck hun! Glad I've found a post like this from the beginning so I can try to keep up with it :-) I'm 24 and in the same boat as you with extra pounds to shift, doing it a stone at a time because thinking about exactly how much makes me :-O and set myself up to fail before I've started...

Oh wow what a difference, definitely need to get some of this in my life!

Forgot to ask if anyone had a recipe for saag aloo? Looking at the ingredients it looks very SW friendly/easy adaptable but not sure if that's the case as I don't know much about Indian cooking, only that saag aloo is delicious!

This thread is fantastic, big thanks to the OP! Not a big curry eater but definitely some recipes here I want to try :-)

Thanks, this sounds delicious, can't wait to try it :-)

This thread is amazing!!! Have taken quite a few new recipes to try from it although got to say my favourite meal atm is the SW egg fried rice (recipe in first few pages) absolutely brilliant, not as good as the Chinese but knew it wouldn't be, not going to beat the professionals lol also love...

Well done for posting this, its so disgusting that so much of this is in the food we eat! This is something that should be so hard to talk about but I'm so glad you have turned your experience into a positive by warning others what this can do to our bodies and good for you for making the...

Oh that sounds nice, how do you make your chicken korma?

Brilliant thanks for your reply, will have to try this, didn't know if the texture would change the sealing process, never cooked like this with quorn chicken pieces

Sounds delicious, thanks for sharing! Do you think Quorn chicken pieces would be ok or not work as well?

Yum! This book sounds amazing! Will definitely have to try and get a copy :-)

Wow this sounds AMAZING!!!! Can't wait to try this and lots of ideas from previous posts to - how exciting! :-)

Hi Liz, Veg Chilli sounds good, could you post the recipe please, need to make batches of things also :-) how about a tuna/sweetcorn pasta with a little EL mayo, love this and need to make it more often!

This thread is a brilliant idea, nothing more annoying when you've got to buy about 8 different things or something new to just use a bit in a recipe! Will be adding some vegetarian ones once I'm on a proper computer as no recipes on phone...keep up the good work, really hoping it takes off big...

This is so true! Whenever I get a "you've been tagged in a photo" notification its like :-O and just dread it! Before I was kidding myself but I know deep down its not normal to feel that way...had a picture posted of me recently and it was the kick I needed to do something about it, seeing it...

Hi Mrs H, I'm exactly the same! My problem is that I'm forever busy and as a result "eat when I can" which is usually snacks! Now that my baby is eating too its a great chance for me to prepare proper healthy meals for both of us rather than just quick c**p for me! I go back to work part time...

Can see the point others are making but think this would be really handy to have in the cupboard to help stay on plan, if I'm in late and need to do something quick I find its too easy to just call the local Chinese and have them make me a dinner and its those bad habits that have made me have...

Good for you :-) I decided today that I'm getting my butt back on that wagon too! Totally understand when you say you want to look your best on her big day, my son is 7 months old so will be looking at nurseries in 2 years time and I refuse to be the fat mum at the school gates! Wishing you lots...

Hi Beautiful.XTC, I'm only just getting back into this myself (enough is enough) As far as I am aware they are 2 syns each... A good rule to remember, especially when shopping, is that all foods that have no free food allowance (snacks, chocolates, crisps etc) all go by the rule of 20 calories...

Thanks hun, I know what you mean, I have both ends of the scale in my family and I've not been bought up to think that all relationships are perfect, one set of my grandparents only stay together for the sake of it and my other grandparents have been happily married for over 50 years! Jay's...

Thanks ladies, was in two minds about posting but I am glad I did as I now feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, I'm at the stage now where my loss doesn't effect my daily life but I do have days where it does all just come out and Jay has sat there and said that it still haunts...

Ok so its late/very early and I wouldn't usually post about relationship problems on an Internet forum but I can't sleep and I just don't know what to do! I have a great bunch of close friends and I work with people that are old enough to be my mum and have life experience but I just feel like...

Hi Jack, I'm pretty new to all this too and I have to say well done for making a step in the right direction :-) and yes, anything is possible! I find that green days are the easiest for cupboard things, dried pasta, pasta n sauce, rice in pouches, packet rice, mugshots etc they are so easy...

Wow this looks so nice, going to try it with the quorn peppered steaks as I don't eat meat... Was wondering though, how do you make your garlic and herb potatoes? They look lush!

Wow thanks for the quick reply! :-) Have had the Tesco pouches before I think and not sure if I liked them, will have to have another try... Think the fact the pouches are ambient is what is swaying me, I've not got a big freezer but planning to have a clear out and fill it up with Quorn...

Hi all, just joined sw and trying to get my head around things... Would like to know if anyone knows what the best pouch rices to have, they are the ones that you just put in the microwave and take like 2 minutes, love the Tilda ones but happy to try something new based on recommendations and...
