Hi Rebekah and welcome xx

 

[pebbles67]

Evening to tonights audience.
circus snack number 1 being served by the side of the big top tonight are loaded potato skins.



skins
enough potatoes for your guests
half of a 300g tub of cottage cheese with chives
cayenne pepper
i used 3 large slices of ham (1heb choice, but it was split between 3 of us, so i'm counting as half a heb on green day. )
1hea cheddar cheese

cut potatoes into large wedges and place in microwave with a cup of water and cook for 6 mins of until just soft

cut potato away from skin leaving a bit of a base.

place skins on a baking sheet, sprinkle with cayenne and bake for 15 mins at gas 6

meanwhile mash the potato in a bowl with ham, salt pepper, cottage cheese and cheddar cheese.

once skins are browned, take out of the oven and load mixture on top. bake for 10 mins more or until browning.

add spring onions, peppers etc to suit your taste, i kept mine simple with cheese and ham cos kids wont eat onions.

tofu choc pudding
made with 1 pack tofu, 2 tsp sweetener, 2 sachets of mint choc options, (4 syns total, but divided by 4 of us. )
fruit and 3 mini meringues (2.5 syns)

loaded skins, beans, peas n corn, and frittata.
