Is this syn free on green?
Is it good?
Would it make a good Christmas dinner?

Yeah everything in it is FREE on GREEN. hubby and I liked it

It is the sort of thing that would make a good Xmas dinner to go with all the other xmas dinner trimmings.

Quorn Ham, egg and SW chips

Slimming World chips

It took me a while to get them right, but i have it sussed now.
I use smaller potatoes about 3 depending on how hungry i am ( rather than a jacket potato size) (and i just use Tesco white potatoes)

I DO NOT peel mine, i found they just broke up too much ( and the skin is good for you)
I par boil for a couple of minutes, i DONT rough them up in the pan. I heat the oven to 200c and also pre heat the tray too.
drain the potatoes and let dry for a moment,
Spray the tray with frylight then tip potatoes on and spray them too, sprinkle with salt and cook for 30 - 40 mins or until crispy

Have since bought a chip basket from Poundland and thoroughly reconmend them. really crispy chips

Have also been making BNS chips too, and thought about making carrot and parsnip chips too. All with same method

Do you heat up your quorn ham or have it cold with your hot meal?

 

[*honey]

Do you heat up your quorn ham or have it cold with your hot meal?

With ham egg and chips I have it cold, like you would meat ham.
When i use it for the carbonarra it heats up with the sauce.

The ham egg and chips is my favourite lunch

 

[littlemisspiggy16]

Thanks for starting this thread honey - its really useful, all your recipes look great so i am getting some imspiration whilst planning my next few days meals! I'm going to try the rosti pizza and the rice pud this week.

For the rice pud, are the syns from the milk? So if you used milk from hexa, would it be free on a green day?

 

[*honey]

Glad your liking them
Yes the syns for the rice pudding are from the milk, so if using some of your HEA it would indeed be FREE
