Hey a bit of advice bananas are not speed food if you eat to many it may effect your weight loss, I don't boil my chips just slice an straight in the oven but make sure you turn them an spray with fry light throughout cooking or I do find they dry out

 

[Jhsax]

I put rock salt on my chips before cooking too.

 

[X88B88]

Hi Sexyshell, thanks for popping by! Ordinarily I wouldn't be having so many bananas, but I went to get a mugshots and the shop didn't have any so I got bananas instead! (Gotta be better than a steak and kidney pie) Good point about them not being a speedfood though, so I appreciate the reminder.

I just don't like slimming world chips, I much prefer spicy wedges but my daughter hates them lol

 

[Jhsax]

You could put some paprika on half of them??

 

[X88B88]

Hi Jhsax, cheers. It's not the spice she doesn't like it's the shape of the wedges, which is exactly what makes me prefer them! I suppose I could do both but I really couldn't be arsed today. And wedges seem to take a lot longer. I'm seriously considering saving up for an actifry...

 

[Sexyshell135]

Oh I have thought about a actifry but don't know if I would use it enough, I bet the banana tasted just as good as the pie would of hahahaha but I get your point of being arsed sometimes you want your food an you want it now lol

 

[X88B88]

An actifry and a soup maker are both on my list, I have no room for either really but I will cross that bridge when I come to it! (possibly making the room alongside my dusty slow cooker)

 

[Sexyshell135]

lol use your slow cooker to make soup

 

[X88B88]

It doesn't bleeeeeeeend. Or make it in 30 mins. LOL

 

[GeeOX]

The first time I done SW chips they weren't very nice but now I really like them, like the comments above said keep spraying fry light while there cooking also you can buy a seasoning that's called perfect for chips and it's really nice, tastes like wedges and gives them a nice flavour

An actifry and a soup maker are both on my list, I have no room for either really but I will cross that bridge when I come to it! (possibly making the room alongside my dusty slow cooker)

I LOVE my soup maker - I can't recommend it enough. A bag of frozen veg, a jug of stock, push one button and get smooth soup in 21 minutes. Cheaper than an actifry too!

 

[X88B88]

@tangerine12 LOL it doesn't feel like loads! I've never tried pastrami for breakfast before but thought people happily eat pig in the morning so why not beef? It was LUSH! I know from experience I don't lose if I don't eat enough, hence the evening snack. I've just worked out how many syns I would normally have on the weekend and I think it's 150+ !! I feel fine, not starving but not stuffed either.

@HondaGirl, OH MY GOD
I'd never even thought about using frozen vegetables in a soup maker?? That's even better because I've usually some in the freezer... Thank you! I'm very fortunate to be working somewhere where I can get things like this at cost price plus VAT and the soup makers will be on offer in May for 30 quid so I've asked a colleague to order one for me

 

[X88B88]

Mmmm scan bran. Lol
