ProPoints Diary of a WW virgin

Oh and chilli - it was just a bit bland really - it's 6pp per pouch and has rice in it but I wasn't impressed. Small portion and needed a bit more. It's quite expensive too - £2.95 per pouch but I have tried it now!

And I loved tea. Didn't fancy what I had planned and that's what my sd and me decided on. Yummy - loads of chipped new potatoes too so a nice big dinner.

My favourite for tea tomorrow - Spaghetti Bolognaise :)

I buy them from tesco but believe most supermarkets sell them. In tesco they are usually where the Ww yoghurts are. £1.50 for 4 normal price but worth it x

I like your idea of the low pointed breakfast and lunch so you can add more pasta,do you buy a sauce or make your own? I'm tempted to try my own sometime soon.
I've had a good day thanks,pie turned out well,really enjoyed it ;0)
 
Yeah we make our own and it's really easy.

Fry 1 onion in fry light , add mushrooms and fry (we have to cook ours separately as my hubby hates mushrooms though) add 1lb extra lean mjnce and fry - drain excess fat. Add Worcester sauce, tinned tomatoes (we prefer ours drained), 1 tbsp tomato purée, 1 tsp marmite, loads of garlic, herbs and black pepper to taste and leave to simmer for 30 minutes. Delicious :)

Also use it as a lasagne base but use more tomato purée and herbs to make it drier

Pie looked delicious. I might make one on Sunday for next week - found Lakeland sell the pie dishes I want so thinking I will get some on Friday and freeze some pies

That's good bout the dishes you want,can you get them in sets or are they separate to buy?

If you leave the marmite you might want a stock cube in for beefy flavour but experiment x
 
That's practically identical to how I make mine... ummm Spag bol - yummy! You don't taste the marmite Daisy - it just helps to make it richer, or if you really can't bring yourself to use it, then you could try a splash of Soy sauce, which would do a similar thing.

Sorry for high-jacking this!

Think I will need to put spag bol on the menu next week now I've read this!
 
I don't have marmite in the house yuk! So I always crumble a couple of beef oxo cubes in makes it nice and beefy and helps to thicken it. I also add a little bit of sweetener xx

Yes, someties I add sweetener - I find it depends on the brand of tomatoes, sometimes it doesn't seem to need it. If I'm out of tomato puree I used Heinz tomato ketchup instead. If I'm making it as a chilli sauce I add chilli (duh!) and a little cocoa powder. Did we mention garlic? This is turning into '100 ways with Bolognese Sauce!'
