Right then guys, Can I pick your brains... I've got a family get together at the weekend, there will be a huge buffet, cakes, alcohol and syns galore!! I'm planning on taking a few buffet bits for me so I can still feel like I'm joining in but not syn..What can I take... So far I'm thinking those pitta bread pizzas(a+b) and a potato salad.
I'm going out in the evening so want to have as little syns as possible during the day.. Any ideas?

Well to start feed yourself well during the day without using syns or Hex's, then take maybe a salad bowl, you could add cold meats, chicken, boiled egg, syn free dressing, pasta salad/couscous, grated cheese (hexA), pitta or bread roll (hexB). Do you like kebabs, I found a great recipe for kebab syn-free, I add nando's chilli sauce (it's virtually syn free), you could have it in a pitta or on a salad plate. Drink syn-free drinks. Dessert, make a bowl of sugar free jelly(Hartley's, Sugar Free Jelly Crystals, all varieties, dried, 11.5g sachet 1.5 syns)

[h=5]Girls here's that kebab recipe, I use it sometimes for lunch or dinner and the meat freezes well
Fake-away doner kebab
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
500g extra-lean beef mince
Method:
Preheat oven to gas mark 4/180C/350F
In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, dried oregano, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
Add the mince and mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes. Take out all of your aggression on the kebab mixture, punching and kneading until no air pockets remain and the kebab meat is extremely smooth.
Shape the seasoned mince into a loaf and place on a baking tray. I use a silicone loaf tin.
Bake in the middle shelf of the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes ( mine only took 1 hr so keep eye on it), turning the loaf half way through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Slice the donor kebab as thinly as possible and serve with pitta, salad and sauces!!!
Syn free chilli sauce - 1 tin of tomatoes - i onion chopped finely - salt pepper and chilli flakes - 1 clove garlic - pan fry the onion and garlic then add tomatoes with as much spices you like and let simmer for 20 mins and blend in blender.
Garlic Mayo - 2 teaspoons of free fat natural yogurt mixed with 2 teaspoons of extra light mayo ( 2 syns) mix with 2 crushed cloves of garlic small bit black pepper for taste.[/h]

Kebab is fab Milky.
Finding it very hard foodwise this week, tis the week before star week, where common sense goes out the window & I can't keep away from chocolate. Doesn't help that I've been spending the week with my Mrs. Doyle friend, "go on go on go on", is her catchphrase, bad influence, hee hee.
