your diarys looking great do you make the chickpea dahl dip?

 

[Nikkiruth]

Chick pea dahl

No its really easy, you buy a tin of sundar chick pea dahl and blend it till it is nearly smooth put in a dish and serve, my kind of dip!
I have found you can only buy it at Morrisons's, i have looked in the other major stores but no luck!
The whole tin is free on Green and EE it is also very nice straight from the tin and heated and poured over a jacket potato.

Hey Hun.

Just reading your diary and it looks good. One thing to remember is that the chickpea dhal will not be free if you blend it. Its one of those "grey area" foods like the lasagne crisps and the couscous cake. Its up to you if you want to syn it, or just have it now and again as a treat type thing.
I only found this out as with my gastric band I was told by my Consultant that by mushing the chickpea dhal (the Asda one is lovely by the way as well and free!) you are changing the properties of it all (how the body digests it or something) and so should be synned.
Roght enough waffling! Keep up with the diary though, as you are giving me some ideas! Lol

[Nikkiruth]

Thanks

Thanks V, I didn't realise that if you blend it you had to count it as syns, so I will be not doing this in the future, I do have it over a jacket as it is and its just as nice, thanks for your kind words and advice you have done so well and keep going,

[kel86]

thanks for the info on chick pea dahl i didnt realise it would be sinned if blended

 

[Nikkiruth]

diarys looking good. chicken and leak bake sounds nice what sauce do you use?

It was a Schwartz called Chicken and Leek bake, the whole packet was 6.5 syns dried, I didn't use the butter but frylight instead, and add syns for the milk and cheese but you could use your Hex's for these if you wanted too! It served 4 so it was 1.5 syns for packet and 6 syns for the milk and cheese for my portion

Hi everyone, had a bad moment around lunch time, making cheese on toast for my grand daughter, and nearly (very nearly) made a slice for me, I told myself do i really need this, and luckly my head said NO! Looked out of my kitchen window and saw the lettuce leafs growning in my garden and opted for the salad, I enjoyed it very much even though my grand daughter kept pinching my eggs, Bless!! :8855:
