Gemma's Diary Mixed Days - red, green, EE - new to EE advice welcome

Hi here is the reply from Asda

Hi..................

Thanks for asking about our pitta breads.

I'm sorry they are no longer allowed as part of you plan. I can appreciate how disappointing this must be. Our Pittas haven't changed recently and hold the same nutritional values as always. I'd suggest that the change has come at Slimming World.

We do offer a wide range of pitta breads if you follow the link you can what we have:

Cookies Detecting!

Hopefully something here will be suitable.

I trust this has answered your question. If you need any further help, please call me or one of my colleagues on 0800 952 0101. Thanks again for writing to me and letting me help.

Kind regards


Asda Service Team

So what do you make of that - a better offer from the makers of WW pittas or me being cynical ?

Looks good Gemma, good luck for WI :)

Just noticed you syned the curry powder? Does curry powder have syns in? I use the morrisons medium curry powder in my mushy pea curry but thought it was free, oops

The brand I use has syns in it regular curry powder doesn't, just happens to be the one I like is synned (typical!!) so you thought right. I know I'm feeling like I've lost quite looking forward to WI!

Hi Lisa, no problem the porridge I use at the minute is the Oat so Simple I bought a load of the sachets when they used to be a HEB so I just weigh them up to 35g now, but any plain porridge oats are fine so long as there are 35g of them they are a HEB.

Did you mean BNS Chips? I slice the Butternut squash into chips (no need to peel it - thank god!!ha) spray my baking tin with frylight throw the BNS on spray them with frylight, sprinkle with paprika and bake for about 45 mins.
 
Brilliant, thank you, can you use the Oat So Simple sachets i have loads of them indoors but thought they were banned now.

Thanks for the recipe BNS chips, i will defo give those ago they sound yummy!

The BNS chips are lovely and they are so handy for red days I'm really into them and sugar snap peas at the minute! The sachets used to be a HEB but I'm sure there is only about 27/28g in them and the weight for plain porridge oats is 35g to make a HEB, are they plain oats? (the fruit/maple syrup ones etc have a syn value...) so like I say I just use them and measure them up to 35g.
