Not sure if this is the right place to reply/say....I tried the lasagne tonight, ad it was YUM! I made a couple of changes which worked amazingly well (But I haven't tried the exact recipe above, so I can't compare). I thought I would share them with you guys, hope no one minds?

OK, I made LOADS of the mince mixture (I used 3 bags of Quorn mince), planning to keep some leftover for lunch tomorrow. I discovered to my horror that I only had once can of tomatoes, so I thought on my feet and used one tin, plus quite a bit of passata, plus four grated beetroot (For colour, sweetness and moisture). And a good shake of lea perrins.
I made the macaroni with just water, as I've used todays HEs. It didn't look much when done, and I wondered how I could make it more cheese sauce like. So, in a bowl I mixed a tub of quark, a good dollop of fromage frais, and three egg yolks. I let the pasta cool a little, then mixed it all together. It resembled a REALLY lush, decadent cheese sauce ♥.
With the whites of the eggs, I whisked into semi-stiff peaks and laid aside.
I layered the lasagne as normal, and when I was ready to do the top layer I folded in the egg whites to the cheese mix, and spread it over the top. This gave the top a lovely golden, crunchy topping.
I didn't use any cheese, or any HEs at all, so the total syns would have been 2, I think, just for the pasta n sauce. This made enough for one large lasagne dish (4 servings) plus 2 individual lasagne dishes, so a very generous 6 in total.

Thanks so much to SpaceAngel for posting this recipe in the first place. It's already a favourite in this household! ♥

HI Guys

I ahve just made rice pudding but as i need a choccie fix, i decided to mix a options into it whilst it was cooking, and for 2 syns and loads of rice pudding its lovely. think this will have to be my choccie fix from now on, especially if im doing a green day. Not sure whether anyone else will like it. I did add a slpash of milk as it was too hot to eat and wanted to cool it down so i could eat it quickly.

Super Dooper Beany Pie

Hi Folks
Green day madness!!

Just had this for lunch and loved it ! made enough for 2 people dont know exact quantities of some things as im a bung it in cook so use how much you think you need for your dish when it comes to beans and taters , obviously weigh anything that needs to be weighed like cheese

1 tin of beans
4 veggie sausages (i use linda mccartney which are syn'd see below Thanks Loobylou! x)
3 largeish potatos boiled and mashed
3 Laughing Cow Extra Lights (1/2 HExA)
1 red pepper roasted
2 spring onions
1 or 2 tomatoes
salt n pepper to taste

Cook your veggie sausages as per the oven instructions on the packet, put the red pepper in the oven while the sausages are cooking to roast

boil the potatos and mash them with the Laughing Cow extra light and chop in the 2 spring onions (this is lovely on its own im suprised it got to the top of the pie!)

Place the sausages in the bottom of your pie dish and cover with the pre warmed up beans, chop up the roasted pepper into chunks about the size of a stamp and bung these in with the sausages and beans

Top with the laughing cow and spring onion mash and slices of tomato on the top, if you fancy being naughty add some grated cheese to your mash or sprinkle on the top but i find the laughing cow is enough.

place in the oven or under the grill until the tomatos and mash have a nice cooked look about them ! everything else is already cooked so it doesnt take that long, you could make this with cold beans and wait a bit longer but i get impatient!

I made mine in 2 individual lasagne dishes like you get in the pub (they have em in £land at the mo and the 99p shop) Had one microwaved for lunch today and am saving one for my tea later in the week by bunging it in the freezer

Enjoy !

Hi Gene Genie, just checked the syn values on Linda Mccartney sausages for you:
Vegetarian sausages 6 pack frozen 50g = 2 syns each.
Vegetarian sausages 8 pack frozen 35g = 1 syns each
Sausages 8 pack frozen 35g = 1.5 syns.
Recipe sounds lovely, hope this helps. xxx Loobylou

Creamy BBQ CHICKEN

You can use fry light to do this but prefer to fry in pasata just a touch with a yallow and green pepper and a red onion veggies are irrelevent really and chicken can be substituted with quorn so you can add pasta once everything has softened and cooked through add mixed herds and i like paprika and 3 spoons of heinz bbq sauce add more or less to taste each tbs is 1 syn so depends on how your day has been, i also like to throw in cherry toms and mushrooms , leave to cool slightly and pour in low fat fromage frais depending on how creamy you like it.

[angelcake72]

Does anyone know the recipe for SW scotch eggs i had it when i did SW b4 and they were made with scan bran and i loved them have just started again and would like to make them

Found this one - haven't tried it yet though.

Scotch Eggs

½ syn each

8 boiled eggs

8 syn free sausages

4 scan bran crushed – 2 sins

Method

Skin the sausages and mash each one individually into a ball, flatten down in your hand then wrap around an egg.

Roll onto scan bran till covered, place on a baking tray for 30 mins, gas mark 5.
Variations

On green days use potatoes instead of meat, to help bind the potato add a bit of grated cheese, but remember to sin accordingly.

Just to say that last night I also tried the lasagne and it was DEEEELISH.

I halved the quantities, and forgot to add sweetner. It was still really really really nice, and I ate about 2 servings... lol.

After that I had a slice of cous cous cake.

Possible the best meal ever?!?

Today I tried superfree quiche, as recommended by Loobylou. YUMMY. Moist and delicious and really tastes like proper quiche! I'm proud of myself, haha.

That sounds lovely! I must confess that I am not a quark fan. I actually made the lasange up just using stuff in the cupboard too. I tried adding red peppers to the quorn mix but I didn't like it. The egg whites sound like a great idea too! I will give it a go next time I make it!

Red Day:-

2 Bowyers sausages (1 syn each)
2 slices nimble bread

Use a rolling pin to roll the bread until it's thin.

Wrap the bread around the sausage and secure with cocktail sticks

Brush the bread with some beaten egg

Bake in an oven at 180 degrees for about 20 mins until golden and cooked through.

2 Syns on Red. Add 6 syns if not using the bread as a HEX

Green Day

The same as above but use Quorn sausages instead. Free on green. Add 6 syns if not using bread as a HEX.

Eggy Bread

I've been making Eggy Bread for the last couple of mornings and find its a tasty, filling start to the day.

2 Eggs
1/2 tspn Sweetener
1/2 tspn Mixed Spice

Mix together and dip Wholemeal Bread x 2 from 400g loaf for a HEb.

I find there is enough mixture to make a third one for hubby

I'm going to try a Ham & Mustard Sandwich dipped in egg (without the sweetener and spice).
Would be good on a Original Day.

Sarah -The vege sausage rolls sound delicious. Silly question can you eat them cold? They would be an ideal lunch for work.
