    Cheese & Onion Comfort Pie SYN FREE

    I cook all the veg in the microwave (including the potatoes) using the same microwave bowl and tip them into a big bowl as they cook. This way there are only 2 bowls to wash up.

    tefal actifry

    I have read on another forum where they have had Actifry problems when they have used Frylight. - quite a few reports of it. I also use oil in mine for the same reason as lickthelid.

    Mayflower curry sauce

    1 tablespoon of the powder is 3 syns - I use it like that so I can put as much water in it as I want.

    Wholemeal bread > 40g

    It's because they say to take slices from a loaf which weight 400gms or 800gms etc. I never bought a loaf that weighed that much so had to look it up.

    Wholemeal bread question- can we deduct 6 syns from wholemeal bagels/pitta?

    Yes I do do SW to the word most of the time but just a little sometimes I do disagree with them ;) .2 is not the end of the world and they did have them as hex for 2 years that I know of. Being veggie I get loads of fibre Thanks for your info for the Spanish yogurt - went to Mercadonna and...

    Wholemeal bread question- can we deduct 6 syns from wholemeal bagels/pitta?

    I still use the Asda ones and add 1 syn - if they were good enough for a couple of years they are good enough now. No syns - use a pair of scissors but don't do what I did and pop the cut off bit in your mouth. :)

    Adaptations of 'Save with Jamie' recipes

    Adapted the Butternut Squash and Spinach Rotolo he made this week - used dried Cannelloni instead of fresh lasagne sheets and cut out all the oil and made is syn free. It was delicious. Added more cheese to use up HEX A's as he was a bit mean with it.

    Wholemeal bread question- can we deduct 6 syns from wholemeal bagels/pitta?

    When SW changed the rules about Asda pittas Asda had not changed the recipe for them - after goodness knows how long SW had used them as a HEX they suddenly decided they are now a no no. How does that work? Someone wrote to Asda and asked what had changed and Asda said nothing had.

    Homemade Brown Bread as a HEB???

    Not hard to work out if you are used to making your own bread - this is just an example from Lidl flour - 400gms of flour makes 12 - 60gm rolls. Each 100gms of flour has 4.8gms of fibre so 4 times 4.8 = 19.2 gms so 12 rolls = 1.6 gms each which is not enough fibre. Been through all this with...

    I am trying to find out the syn value of Tesco and Asda meat free sausages please. Have tried them both but read that the Tesco ones are 5 syns each so might as well eat full fat ones :D Have had the Linda McCartney ones but prefer the others Thank you.

    Lidl shoppers!

    No it is the same company - get the same offers sheet here and emails. That is a big difference - going to write and ask them as I went back this afternoon to check if she had charged me for the wrong stuff which is not unlikely in there. I bought 4 tubs and have used 3 of them this afternoon...

    How to make green tea! This tip is from Dom1979!

    I use green tea leaves - make it in a small bowl like OP - then strain into a large Lock and Lock Tea Bottle with a filter then top up with cold water and put in the fridge. Don't like it hot but it is brilliant cold with ice.

    Don't you just hate it when....

    When you decided to lose weight and can't decided between Rosemary Conley and SW. Did calorie counting years ago and it worked. Put a bit back on so tried SW because everybody else was but found it slow (sure I ate too much) and now have 10lbs to lose and can't make up my mind.
