Anyone seen any good carbonara sauces?
At the moment I get Aldi's which is 3pts per serving and is GORGEOUS (I normally use 2pts worth though ).

WW cookies and cream sundaes! 2.5 points and they're soooo nice! I love them, I just had one and I could have another one if I could be bothered to go downstairs

See girls, the secret to being slim is living at the top of a 3 storey house

That would work out about 3 points per half tub.

Aldi's Carabonara sauce is also very nice - 3 pts per half tub, but if you use 2 points worth it's still enough

As some of you may remember I AM the Quorn Queen :giggle:

Sainsburys have some fab Quorn stuff... the goats cheese & blueberry escalopes are back. They also have satay sticks. popcorn 'chicken' and chicken goujons.... all really nice and much lower than the chicken alternatives

 

[Karenlou]

Mmm, I do love quorn, although I'm going to do core this week to give my poorly tummy a rest so will be sticking to the plain stuff. Might make a spag bol this week tho.

Verdict on the sausages: edible.

They're not great, but I'd rather have 3 of those than 1 full-fat sausage.

i haven't read through all the posts on her cos there are sooo many but my greatest saviour when I want crisps has to be snack a jacks lightly salted or salt and vinegar popcorn, only half a point a bag love it!!!

I just had a ww vanilla creamed rice - 1.5pts, and totally yum. I am VERY fussy about rice pud, and this one is tasty. Also, i posted this before in the general recipe section, and will put it into the ww recipe section here, but here is a fab recipe for jelly snakes and they are free!!!
Take a pack of sf jelly - any flavour
3 tspns gelatine
240ml boiled water
mix jelly and gelatine in the water, and stir well. put the mixture into a flat tray, I used the lid of a biscuit tin, and leave to cool, then place in fridge for half hour. Slice down the middle then into strips, and voila - jelly snakes!!! They are yum, and guilt free. Not sure about laxative effect though!! Especially depending on amount you eat!! Also, you may have to make extra batches, as the kids lovvvvveee them!!!

Thanks for the tips guys. Those snack a jacks sound fab! I am now craving some crisps....

I have eventually found the Rosemary Conley's Low Fat Mousse and thought it was gorgeous at only 2 points. Found it in Asda

Also got Rosemary Conley's Porridge again at Asda and that works out at 2 1/2 points for a tub
