Burgers

I fancied burgers last night but I'd already had my Hex B choice so got some big mushrooms and used them as the 'bread', used the Mozzarella as my Hex A choice, and added some fried onions too. Absolutely lovely!

Monday Snacking

Half Syn jelly, 1 Syn yoghurt and a heap of strawberries to get me through this afternoon.

Comfort food

Chicken, mash, mushrooms and carrots. Only syns were for the peppercorn sauce which was 2 syns and then milk from my allowance. Yum!

Good & Counted Range

There are a number of low syn crisps out there but the range that the Good & Counted ones have is fab.
Theyre approx 4.5 syns a bag and worth it! there are more flavours than just these but these are the newest one I am trying!
They have pretzels, crisps & savoury popcorn.

I would highly recommend, I got a pack of 6 from asda for just £1!

SW Meals - Review

I tried the Beef Saag and the Chicken Saag this weekend, and they were both lovely! I would definately recommend them and would love to try the recipes on the back! The meat just fell apart in the Beef one and the Chicken one wasn't too spicy either. Yum! Definately felt like a good fakeaway option!

Weekends & Not Being Well

Saturday was my hardest day this weekend, I really wanted to just eat rubbish because I felt rubbish. Even though I knew it wouldnt make me feel better. Instead I managed to throw together some pasta and meatballs and made enough for 3 portions which have already gone! Packed full of speed and thoroughly enjoyed it. Desperately want to be in the next stone range on Thursday! Got a zumba class tonight, first time for everything!

Mayflower Curry - Beef

My other half fancied a chinese beef curry, I have to say I was reluctant to make it as I don't often cook with beef but it was yummy! 4 syns each for the mayflower Curry Sauce but SO worth it! Everything else was free!

Spag Bol

It's so good when your other half produces SW friendly meals like this. Yummy!

SW coconut macaroons

I know they look more like meringues! But theyre still lovely!

Ingredients:
4 egg whites
198g sugar
71g coconut

Method:
Beat the egg whites until frothy (Make sure no yolk whatsoever has contaminated the egg whites, otherwise you could be whisking for ever!)
Add the sugar and beat until stiff.
Fold in the coconut, put mixture into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe 30 macaroons onto a parchment covered baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven (170ºC/150ºC Fan/Gas Mark 3).
Remove from oven, and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the baking sheet.

SW Beef Burgers

I was ridiculously skeptical about the quality of the SW Burgers especially when it said fry from frozen, but I was really suprised with them! They were lovely! My only comment would be that they were a little dry, but if you are putting relish etc on your burger then it is fine! Would definately buy these again!

Strawberries!

Snacking on SW has never been so easy. I live on strawberries a lot of the time which is awesome because they're a speed fruit. Got a new little gadget to slice them up from ebay for just over £1, bargain!
having them with yoghurt & a sprinkle of cinammon is one of my favourite snacks. And all free!

Snacking

It's easy to stay on track when you get to snack on things like this, a simple bowl of oranges, strawberries & a muller light cheesecake inspired yoghurt (1 syn) but worth it!

Low Syn Crisps!

Got some new crisps from Asda, they're all lovely!
£1 per pack of 6 and 4.5 syns per bag!

HeB choices!

I know a few people that can't justify spending £1.95 per box on the SW Hifi bars. 

I feel like that some weeks too. 

But these are amazing alternatives and only £1 a box at the moment too! 

I haven't tried the banoffee or Jaffa cake ones yet but I hear they are to die for

You can have 2 as your HeB or they are 3 syns each!

SW meals

Nearly 4 months in so thought I'd finally give some of these meals a go. Tried the chicken tikka tonight and would highly recommend. It fed two of us easily and the chicken didn't taste like cardboard which is what normally puts me off ready meals! Would Definately get it again just to have one in the freezer for those days when you just don't have the time to prep a meal from scratch. 

Which ones your favourite? X
