Thanks Cherry. I feel a lot better even though I've still a long way to go.
So what is planned for today tilly? I have no idea again lol. I want to try the eaton mess but need to get hold of white choccie options and meringue nests. it looks so scrummy
Eton Mess was yummy. I used 0% Greek yogurt cos I didn't have quark. I'm gonna have one today but haven't got any white options so I'll try a different flavour.
I don't know what I fancy today so I haven't made any decisions yet. I'd better decide soon otherwise I'll be reaching for no SW friendly stuff.
Here you go Boo
Mango Glazed Chicken
serves 4
2 syns each on EE
Ingredients
2lb/908g baby new potatoes, cut into bite size pieces
4 skinless chicken breasts
1 red onion, finely sliced
4 level tbsp Sharwoods Mango Chutney (I used Tescos)
10oz/283g sugar snap peas
Put potatoes, onion and chicken in a roasting tin and season
Mix the mango chutney with 4 tbsp of water and add to the chicken.
Cook for 30-35 minutes at 200c/gas 6. Add the sugar snap peas for the final 5 mins.
I give in Tilly!
Despite not liking Meringue or even tried an options, I am going to have to give it a go!
Is this all I need?....
Meringue nests (which ones are the best or lowest syns?)
White chocolate options
0% greek yoghurt (don't like the consistency of quark)
Fruit

I think (but don't quote me) that they're all about 2 or 2.5 syns apart from the mini ones which might be 1 syn.
I just got them from Tesco and I think it's a pinky coloured box. I've just checked and it says Tesco 8 meringue nests. You might be best checking online just incase the syns are higher.
I put frozen raspberries in mine and as they defrost the juice runs out and makes pretty patterns

It's really nice with greek yogurt, probably cos it's thicker
Thanks - sometimes they taste yuk though. I keep trying out different things cos you never know if you don't try.

Mix white choccie options with 0% greek yogurt or quark. Break up meringue nest and layer with yogurt and fruit. The proper recipe is on sugarplums diary and it includes pictures
I think the raspberries are about 1.40 at Tesco but probably cheaper at Aldi. They're good to have in porridge cos the heat defrosts them.

Thanks Tilly, just checked online:
Tesco finest meringue nests 8 pack 13.5g = 2.5 syns
Meringue nests 8 pack 13g = 3 syns
Mini meringue nests 5g = 1
Strawberry mini meringue nests 5g = 1
How much options do you add to the 200g pot of 0% greek yoghurt.

This is the Eton Mess Recipe from Sugarplums diary. If you want to see the pics you'll have to look at her diary.
It says 4 syns but mine's 4.5 syns cos I used the Tesco 8 meringue nests.
Eton Mess
Ingredients to make 2
Tub of Quark (I used 0% Greek yogurt)
Splenda
2 White Chocolate Options - 2 syns each
2 Ready made meringue nests - 2 syns each
As many strawberries as you can fit in your glass. (I used frozen raspberries)
Method
1. Chop your Strawberries
2. Mix tub of Quark with a tablespoon of spenda and the 2 White Choc options.
3. Crunch up your meringue.
4. Layer a glass with some crushed meringue, followed by a dollop of the White Choc cream, followed by a handful of strawberries. Then repeat the layers, finishing with the cream & Strawberries on top!
