    Quick Prawn Balti

    I made this over the weekend and agree it was lovely and very filling. I didn't have rice or a nan bread but had a bit of rosted butternut squash on the side. Love these cheap points recipes...please keep them coming everyone!!

    tomato and corriander chicken

    we will be going to Sydney - somewhere on the north side. Just waiting to hear from the Australian Embassy and as soon as we do, we'll be booking our plane tickets! We were there earlier this year in January. The weather was gorgeous. Good luck for the job!

    Homemade Pizza - Roadkill on a plate!!!

    Sooo funny!! I have never made pizza from scratch before, but the other night I made the sausage pizza in this month's Weightwatchers magazine. It was surprisingly easy and really nice. I did add a few extra ingredients to what the recipe suggested - some red onions, chillis and a few more...

    BNS CHIPS? how do you make them?

    There is no hard and fast rule about how long you cook them for as it depends how thick you cut them. If you do skinny ones, I find that 30mins is enough but if you like big fat wedges, then you need to cook them for about 45 - 60 mins. The best advice is to keep checking them every 15 mins to...

    Chicken in Oyster & Spring Onion Stir fry... Where did I go wrong???

    25 mins is way too long. The whole point of stir frys is to cook very quickly over a high heat You need to cook the chicken first - making sure that it is completely cooked through. Then you need to add in the garlic, veges etc and crank up the heat to the highest, stiring and tossing...

    and me. I count every point obsessively too - no treats for me as I am on 29 points and I try not to use my weeklies either.

    Hungry!

    I find that eating tons of vegetables with each meal helps. Also, when I have a rumbling stomach between meals I have a bowl of zero point vegetable soup. If you make a thick butternut squash soup, it can be really filling.

    Pizza

    The Weight Watchers ones that are stocked in my Sainsburys are both 11 pp. They are the bbq chicken and the red onion and fetta. I like them both but I don't find them very filling considering they take up a large chunk of my daily points (I am on 29.)

    Should i give up diet coke?

    I LOVE diet coke. When I'm on a diet it is my guilty pleasure. I try not to drink it too much though as it is SO bad for you. Maybe just have it as a treat every now and again. I sometimes use it as a reward for drinking my 2 litres of water a day.

    Pro Points Help Please

    You could also make a nice one from the zero points list. They have up to l tbs of soy sauce, fish sauce and lime juice. So you could make yourself a nice thai stirfry sauce for 0 pro points. Add a few chopped red chillis too. Yum... now I'm just making myself feel hungry!
