DOING SW FROM HOME???

[Laura94B]

Wow at all the losses! Well done everyone!!

Having a weird day - spent the first half of it not hungry at all, and now am ravenous and can't get enough! Had noodles/stir fry an hour or so ago but trying so hard not to eat the rest of them! Or to go on a chocolate binge Think I left it too long before eating so I've messed it all up! Keeping my fingers crossed that my blood sugar bounces back up again soon cause I feel like crap haha! Might go eat an apple Rambling!

Had my granddaughter over this afternoon, exhausted now! Had to stop her from eating the cheese, it`s not ready!!

Didn`t have my hexb today so having a bacon sarnie. Will have to syn the brown sauce. Hope that`s gonna be ok as I had a jacket spud n beans for lunch

 

[lemonblondie]

I was wondering why you had to stop her eating cheese, then realised you were probably making the yoghurt cheese. At least she went for something healthy!

Hi Rosielea

Recipe as requested

Tamatar Murghi Chicken (Indian Tomato Chicken)

This says it serves 6 but it preparing it for just 1 or 2 use all the ingredients for the sauce and cut back on the meat. Halving the spices does not give you the full flavour – we had tried this and it tasted weak in comparison using the quantities given.

Serves: 6
· 1 large onion, quartered
· 4 cloves garlic
· 1 slice fresh root ginger
· 1 tablespoon olive oil (6syns or HExB)
· 1 dessertspoon ground cumin
· 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
· 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
· 1 cinnamon stick, broken
· 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
· 2 bay leaves
· 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
· 6 skinless chicken thighs (I use chicken or turkey breasts – would also be lovely with beef)
· 1 (400g) tin peeled plum tomatoes, crushed
·
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 6-8hrs on low
Place onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor (or use hand blender) and process into a paste. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, add onion paste and sauté, stirring continuously, for about 10 minutes.

Stir in the cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves and nutmeg. Sauté, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Place chicken pieces in frying pan and stir them around with the spice mixture until they are well coated.

Sauté for another 4 minutes, then pour in the tomatoes with liquid and stir. When all spice is mixed transfer to Slow Cooker and cook on low for 6-8hrs.
Remove cinnamon stick and bay leaves before serving.

Excellent. Thank you very much. Now I know why I was not getting all the flavour in my curry. I need to heat up the spices and roll the meat in it. Will try at weekend. Thanks again and have a god evening.

I agree well done everyone on the losses I'm hoping after all my lovely recipes this week I'll have a good loss!

Yeah it was me who made the red pepper hummus! It wad lovely and yes free n superfree!
I roasted a red pepper until skin soft and blend with a tin of drained chick peas, 2 table spoons of low fat natural yoghurt, garlic, juice of 1/2 a lemon and cumin and wizzed until you get the consistency you like! Simples!

Spag Bol for tea with 1 piece of garlic bread as I've had no syns yet today! Mmm cant wait and im doing a green with extra lean mince being one of my HexB's so I can have cheese as my one of my HexA's! X

Perfect. Here it is
Boil some potatoes. Let it cool down and then grate them on low teeth side. Add salt pepper and knead in to a dough. Make into a patty, the thiner the better. Spray with frylight and cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Whilst that is happening fry light or dry fry onion, garlic, chill, courgette, sweetcorn (any other veg), add canned tomato and simmer. when cooked and water evapourated it is ready.

Put all on top of your potato pattie and bake in the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Then top with HEXA cheese (I find grated on thin teeth produceds more to be used as topping) and put back in oven until cheese melted and bubbly.

If you want bread base then instead of potato pattie you can use WM pitta or WM toast.

Hope that helps. Enjoy

Trying out your recipe for syn free pizza tonight, just boiled the potatoes i think i over boiled them abit because they crumbled abit when i was grating them. Hope they will crisp up abit in the oven!

I just had butter with my half jacket potato, albeit 1tsp (2syns!), but it was so yum! Had with veggies and a bit of chicken casserole... Still trying EE and filling in my food diary, I think I'm doing it right

 

[kikaroo]

well done. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks! I don't feel 100% but much better than I did! I've managed some food today so I'm going back to work tomorrow - I'm bored out of my mind after being stuck in bed for 3 days!

That does not matter because you are making it into a dough and that should hold. Plesae post a piccie so we can see how it turned out. Enjoy it. When I mak emine for friends they do not realise it is potato base.

You can make it like has brown or knead it like a dough and roll it out between 2 pieces of cling film or just pat it down to make it like flat bread. Entirely up to you how you want to make it. I expreiment in different ways and made dumplings with them too. Enjoy whichever you are doing it.

I just have a (silly!) question.......

Uno the way weight could say 2.6lb (for eg) what number after the point does it go up to??
Like would it go, 2.8lb, 2.9lb 3.0lb or does that go up to 14 aswell?

So as an example - your first weight was 5st 8lb then your next weight was 5st 4.6lb what would your loss be?

Sorry, I've just never taken notice of anything after the point before, but now, every little helps

No idea, sorry! I have mechanical scales, so have no luck of these '1/4lb' or 3/4lb' losses haha! I'm sure someone can help I think they're ounces though - the points, that is!

Just had a yummy snack of 2 squares of dairy milk melted with 20g pretzels, yum
