Jacket Potato

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

booo naughty packet ..... i just buy a pack of 4 and weigh them before cooking, they are usually around 200g each

hehe i have the problem of too many ideas i want to try in a week and not enough days!

..... got kfc for tea tonight ! .... have pp'd a few things so i know what i can have and stay in the pp's i have given for the meal ..... still not sure if i'm going to have chips or salad though .... i have salad lots at home and not chips so chips would be a nice treat ... but salad means i can have more chicken and i'll still have pp's for a dessert this evening

 

[chug]

Yes naughty packet grrrrr.

I hope you enjoyed your kfc tonight I would go for the salad just so I could have extra chicken and dessert.

 

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

hehe yep it was really good .... went for chips in the end as had salad with my lunch but still only used 23pp so still a few points for me dessert from the 30 i was allowing myself

That's really good well done

 

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

thank you .... i still didn't have a dessert as although i had the points i wasn't hungry. knowing i could have it was enough i think .... if i couldn't have had it i would probably have wanted it

Lol yeah I no what you mean. Well I made a apple and strawberry crumbled and because I didn't weigh the sugar and butter when stewing the apple and strawberries I punished myself and said it was 12pps not good but hey it was nice and yummy

 

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

ummm i luv crumble. was thinking about making an apple crumble but then i'd have to point the crumble ... and the custard i would have to have with it ..... so going to wait till we are a bit more into the cold weather when i really need it

i know tesco do a really nice crumble mix as i used to use that before the diet so going to try to remember to pp that next time i'm in there. i have some WW instant custard!

God damn I love a good jacket potato. When I'm feeling particularly lazy at the weekend, I buy these "ready" jacket potatoes in tescos. They do a light choices one with cheese and chive for 6pp (its a fair size potato) in a pack of 2 but the regular ones they do (not light choice) ALSO work out to 6pp. They have them split open and have dolloped in a creamy bitta mash and some cheese sprinkled on top. Its really nice and they're sometimes half price so keep an eye out if you're feeling as lazy as I do sometimes x

 

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

ohh will definitely keep an eye out for them .... i have seen the light choices one but not the other ones.

i have got jacket potato for tea tonight with sausage casserole ..... the casserole takes an hour in the oven so i just washed and pricked a potato and stuck it in the oven with that for an hour

Yeah I saw the light choices and picked it up, turned around to look in the fridge opposite and there were normal ones that were cheaper and same pp... so I was like "hells yeah". Think they take 30-40 mins in oven from what I recall? Really moreish

Your dinner just made my tummy rumble. Sounds fab. Never made a casserole before (sounds ridiculous I know). Must get the recipe off you sometime x

 

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

lol the recipe i did was turn the oven and stove on, put a pan on the stove brown a pack of WW sausages then chuck in a jar of ww sausage casserole sauce .... then put in the oven for an hour .... did me for tea tonight (3 sausages) and my daughter (2 sausages) .... then i still have 3 sausages and a little sauce for tomorrow

nice and easy hehe

Hi Hello_2_Slimmer_Me I used morrisons own crumble mix and for 1/6 of the packet (packet is 227g) its 5pps. But have to admit it was very nice. Normally I would use custard but I think because I added strawberries instead I didn't need the custard and anyway the custard I had was 4pps and I didn't have enough of points I could have used my weeklies but I was trying to avoid them lol.

Your casserole sounds very nice Im going to give that ago to next week. I think you should come and live at my house and do the cooking you have such good ideas lol.

 

[chug]

Dont worry azwethinkweiz I have never cooked a casserole either. I wouldn't know where to start. Hello_2_Slimmer_Me makes it sound so easy lol.

 

[Hello_2_Slimmer_Me]

ohh that does sound quite high ... maybe i'll run a home-made one through the calculator and see what that comes out as
... as can swap the sugar for sweetener and lower fat "butter"

..... nooo you can't have crumble without custard ... its like an unwritten rule !

i know what you mean though about not wanting to use your weeklies .... i still have some left over from the weekend so might have a treat tonight as tomorrow i have to stay in my points as got WI thursday morning .... and can always walk off a few calories tomorrow if i need to, whereas if i eat loads tomorrow to use them up i might not have lost so much thursday morning and no time to do anything about it! lol


it was really nice, i had the left over for lunch today ..... with a Jacket potato !! (now there's a surprise, lol) ..... and it is easy to make ... i will have to do some harder casseroles for you too follow recipe for too once you've mastered this one .... some with more then 2 ingredients ! lol.

hehe i could hire myself out ..... i luv cooking ... i just find that when i cook it ends up being loads more pp then a ready meal ! lol .... so i don't cook anywhere near as much as i'd like too. ..... think all my home cooking is why i weigh as much as i do now, (well as much as i did when i started this diet), lol
