Also how would you syn gravy?? Made with beef stock and 4 teaspoons of corn flour for the whole jug.... I had about 1/4 of the jug???

On the app the crispy chicken salad without dressing is 8 syns per portion so not too bad you seem led to be doing great

 

[lotte's_getting_healthy]

2 things......

I just made myself an awesome hot chocolate with milk and choc shot.... Thinking I'd use it as my heA... Not realising We've got cheese tonight with dinner... Oops !! Am I right that 100mls of skimmed milk is 2syns?? So 300mls is 6syns (plus 2syns for the chocshot)

I walked to Iceland this morning to pick up a SW ready meal (for the weekend when hubby has a pizza).... It's massive!! Are these designed for 2 people, or do you eat the whole thing?

Oh and one more thing.... I made a bacon, pea and red onion frittata thingy (adapted the baked one off the SW website) for lunch.... It tasted amazing
