If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

Good Mid-Morning Sweeties

Once again I've caught up on everyone diaries and I'm ready to update!

Sunday has gone a bit 'tits-up', Poppy is home when she wasn't meant to be (Don't want to write too much as no doubt I'm being spied on!), so today has turned into an Indoor Day and here are my Plans....

Whilst Oven is on...

Bake 24 Date and Apple Muffins
Make up a whole pack of Paxo into 50g Stuffing Balls for Freezer (2pp for 1 or 3pp for 2)
Make a Stew n Dumplings for me for tonight and tomorrow (tomorrow Poppy has a Party after School so will eat there and I don't want to get home and have to cook so can just reheat the other half)

I like to get my money's worth out of the Oven Electric ;-)

Experiment with Actifry to make Roasted/Nando Spiced Chickpeas (Might even do these in the Oven too to save Electric!)

In Other News....Popped into Asda and got this...



Decided to be brave and trust my Willpower! I'm planning on weighing some out for lunch, will update separately once I've worked it out!

Also got these to try in Actifry..



Reduced to 73p so I thought they were worth a try, the normal Roosters go lovely in there!

Also got this to try whilst it's still £1...



So I've got Sweet Cinnamon Sachets and Honey and Almond Sachets now

Think that's about it, I'm off to weigh my Tiger Bread, ROAAAAARRRRRRR! X

Oats sound yum are they 3pp per sachet?

They are Indeed There's also a Honey and Vanilla but I'm a bit funny with Vanilla 'Flavoured' so decided to go with Honey and Almond instead. X

Following on my Previous Post, I've gone and been OCD with my Tiger Bread and here is what I found...



2 Slices-32g-2pp

2 Slices-42g-3pp

4 Slices-95g-6pp

5 (Smaller) Slices-96g-6pp

4 Slices-97g-6pp

So that's a 50p Loaf split into 5 Reasonable PP Portions! And now it's been 'portioned' I won't pick at it as my OCD wont let me!

Here's what I've had for Lunch-

The 5 Small Slices-6pp
78g Cathedral City Lighter-6pp
10g Salad Cream-0pp
15g Pickle-0pp
Cucumber/Tomato-0pp

And here it is...



Ok, 12pp is a heck of a lot more than I would normally 'spend' on lunch but its what I've wanted so Ive had it!

I plan to...

Use the 3pp portion with 2pp WW Soup for lunch tomorrow.

Use one of the 6pp portions to copy today's lunch to take to London on Tuesday, yes it's 12pp again BUT it'll be cheaper in both money and pp than buying lunch in London plus I can eat it at my convenience!

Freeze the other 6pp portion for a later stage.

You're probably wondering where the 2pp Portion went...the two legged mouse who answers to Poppy just pinched that...! X

 

[sarahloub1]

do you have ww scales? x

 

[the_last_time]

Love the honey & almond ones, I have 2 boxes from an offer 2 for £2 offer!

Sounds like you've a busy day planned in the kitchen - I may make some courgette soup, I feel inspired!!

Yeah I weighed it as White Farmhouse/White Crusty to double check. X

I'm no good with Boxes of Cereal so I thought this was a good alternative! X

Hi Janet, I don't eat Meat so am only going with my Shop Guide, 165g of Raw Chicken Breast is 4pp, that's equivalent to 1 Breast which I'm guessing is a reasonable portion? Sorry I couldn't be more help! X

That's a great help thanks Hun :0) enjoy your day.

Wow Tiger Bread is actually really reasonable PP wise. I might treat myself to some when I get my 10% or next silver seven

 

[everton04]

I was reading the pp values and I said to myself 5smaller slices for 6pp would be what id go for and then noticed thats what you went for lol great minds think alike. Its very good value for the loaf when you portion it out like that. Good idea bringing it to London with you

You're Welcome, feel free to ask any questions as they arise. X

I agree Sarah! I can easily use 5pp on 2 Slices Kingsmill and that isn't nearly as nice! X Bring on the 10% or Silver 7 so you can join the Tiger Crew! X

I think 5 Portions for 50p is excellent value too X
