Made my cheesecakes. Hubby is looking forward to them too so I really hope they taste normal and not too diety!

To make 2 I've used 2 aldi chocolate orange cereal bars and 1 digestive for the base (9syns) and then for the middle I've used quark/vlf fromage frais, white choc options (2syns) and the zest of an orange. For the topping I've stewed some rhubarb (negligible syns for the amount)! I've simmered down the stewing licor to give a little sauce for hubbys too.

So 5.5syns for a cheesecake. Fingers crossed

Thought I'd pop over for a visit too!

I have to say I'm v. impressed on your cheescake!! Please send some to me - I would kill for a bit of that right now - nothing sweet in the house (other than 2x finger Kit-Kat's and I've gone right off them!)

How did your magical delicious cheesecake turn out? Hmmmmm **drools onto keyboard**

Sounds like you've had a pretty good week this week syn wise. For me, keeping on track on Saturdays and Sundays is the hardest time.... too much time that's the problem.

[gobolino]

Hello - well I'm pleased to report that the cheesecakes were really lovely. Shocking that you've gone off kitkats! I've not had a kitkat in ages.

Even better than the cheesecakes, I made the aubergine bake tonight (from the SW Italian cook book). It was gorgeous !!!! One of the nicest things I've made in a while. Hubby loved it too even though he wasnt sure about aubergines, he had seconds and said it was better than any meal out Woo hoo!

I agree, staying on plan on the weekend is the sign of a good week. Fingers crossed for being on plan tomorrow too

Hi Gobolino,

Just swinging by to see how things are going with you and it looks as though they're good! I've got a couple of questions for you :

- where oh where do you get the caramel skinny cows?! They only seem to have choc or mint choc (at a push) in my local Asda / Tesco and I want to try a caramel one!
- I liked the sound of the aubergine bake ... are there quite a few veggie recipes in the italian cook book, would you recommend it? I'd like to buy a couple of books and this might be on my list!

Thanks in advance x

Your cheesecakes sound very yummy, unfortunately I'm quite sure I don't have the patience to make them! Glad they were worth the effort and you enjoyed them.

Here's to another good week!

 

[Derbynanny]

Hope you are doing ok Gobolino and glad the cheesecakes were nice. I can't get hubby to even try most of my SW dessert creations but he loves all the main meals as long as they are not too vegetabley LOL

Good luck for weigh in

Teresa

 

[gobolino]

Sorry I've not been about for a little bit, I've been trying to keep my online food diary on SW up to date, so I'll pop this on here in a bit.

Hey Beegee
I've bought shortcake skinny cows from Sainsburys (2 packs for £3) in the last week so if there's a Sainsburys near you, thats where you need to go! I'd definitely recommend the italian book, there are lots of soups and starters that are veggie and a whole section of veggie mains (I eat fish also and theres a fish section). Not all the puds are veggie though But I'm used to that (cant be doing with non-veggie puds it really winds me up, I dont want pig or cow in my pud thanks!

Hey Teresa, I'm ok, just wish I could have a loss tonight! (please please please). I've taken a different approach with how I offer sw things to hubby. I just say I'm making this and do you fancy joining me (basically if not then he can make his own!). It was very funny with the aubergine bake.... I made it, we ate it and both loved it, hubby commented that it was better than going out to a restaurant. I said well say thank you to SW and he was totally surprised that it was a SW recipe

Here's to a loss tonight. I have just stuck to my syns, but you know the WI has more factors leading into it: water through the week, water on WI day, bowel movements on the day!, exercise through the week..... I start to feel that I have very little control on the outcome of WI to be totally honest. One of these weeks I'm going to have the hugest loss, where ALL these factors are in my favour !!!! Meanwhile .........

Review of syns for the week:
14.5+12.5+25+13.5+16+15+9=105.5

Just over! There were so many things I avoided this week, plus I've managed 3 dance classes and more walking, so 105.5 isnt bad at all

 

[gobolino]

Well I'm back from WI and I lost 1.5lb..... I'm really pleased with that as I was starting to feel that I was up and down, up and down all the time. I'll be missing next weeks WI, so I've pledged 3lbs for the week after, I'm staying with my parents for a week, so a break from routine may be just the thing I need

 

[Beegee]

Aw well done you! Thank goodness you got the loss you deserved. Have a lovely break with your parents x
