Sensible Snacking

Sometimes I find it really hard to snack wisely when you aren't really hungry. When soup doesn't fill you but a meal would be overkill, so I think it's a great idea using chicken pieces etc to enjoy with some soup, it fills you without making you stuffed. I simple chopped my chicken up and cooked with some soy sauce and garlic and it was so nice! The soup is simple the 'Heinz' imitation soup which I actually prefer now to the real thing!!! Shocking I know, but it's syn free so it saves me a hefty chunk of syns!

Happy Halloween

Was anyone else dreading all the sweets this weekend? I got home and my mum text me to say she'd bought us some Halloween Treats, I panicked thinking i'd have to give them all to my other half and not enjoy any but I was so happy when she gave me these. I have such a sweet tooth at night so glad I've found some good ways to use my syns!
