[Jaffa Cake]

I think the site has been glitchy since it went down last week

You could try that nacho feast with your soya cream cheese maybe ?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I know I'm being lazy not going to check the magazine...think it's upstairs! What's in the nacho style feast...I can see wedges...so no pasta? Please tell me not pasta because it looks sooo good!! lol

Nope no pasta

Potato wedges
Mexican flavoured veggie mince recipe obviously calls for real mince
Tomatoe sauce
Primula light cheese

Its on the primula website if you can't find it

 

[janetelizabeth]

Lol... just dug the magazine out. I think I'd use hard goats cheese because that melts well. I'm not that keen on the soya cheese. I know the spices are part of this dish but would omit anything like cumin. I'm sure it would still be nice. Joseph's not keen on soya mince... so just a dish for me I think. Thanks for sharing Jaffa.

It should be easy to halve as the recipe only serves 2 anyway

As I said we didn't use cumin instead we used an old el Paso spice mix we had

My scales are down slightly but doubt it will be enough for tomorrow

The rich food did get to me Saturday night but I was alright yesterday . However I was in a lot of pain again during the night and didn't sleep well

 

[janetelizabeth]

Good news about the scales but sorry you're still in pain...what about the morphine patch...still helping?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Took morphine patch off Friday night as it only lasts 7 days so on a break this week as I don't want the terrible withdrawal side effects I got last time due to being on the constantly

Engineer been in and gone had to hurry home from the gym and it turns out its an area fault and nothing we can do its in ths hands of BT and Virgin to sort it out

 

[janetelizabeth]

Ugh...so not another patch until Friday? Hope you get through alright.

Glad you made it back in time even if they established it's a more general issue than your house.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Well I'm off today and Thursday so shouldn't be too bad.

Been experimenting with the sw magic muffins and the sw oat biscuits

The muffins need working on but the biscuits were really nice and we had all 5 between us

They can both be used as a hex so its not too bad !

 

[janetelizabeth]

I think I saw a pic on fb of the oat biscuits...checked the recipe base but wasn't there. Can you give me recipe please, maybe I can make them for (just remembered!) taster session this week.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

35g oats - hex b
1 egg whisked
2 tablespoon sweetner
Flavouring eg ginger powder or cinnamon or vanilla extract etc which I left out as I put in sultanas and chocolate
I also used some 0% fat free greek yoghurt but that's not in the recipe
I used a whitworths shot of dark chocolate and sultanas 4.5 syns

I made 5 which is hex b plus 4.5 syns if you eat them all or 2 syns each

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-wo...-style-biscuits-syn-free-using-heb-6syns.html

Its similar for the muffins

35g oats hex b
Soaked in greek yoghurt for an hour
2 eggs whisked
2 tablespoon sweetner might need more I didn't use enough as I only used 1.5
Caramel extract I bought in Tesco

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/285992-sw-blueberry-magic-muffin-pancakes-o.html

Again I made 5 which is just over a syn each as I should have made 6 at 1 syn each

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks Jaffa...did you make these for your last taster session?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

No I checked I last made them in February when I was making taster stuff for the free food week but I just made the oaty biscuits for me as they weren't free food

I've never made the muffins

 

[janetelizabeth]

Ah yes I forgot about the free foods taster we all did.
I'm thinking that if I make the biscuits just adding a spice they would be free?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yes last time I added cinnamon and ginger

Then its either your whole hex b or 6 syns for the recipe so it depends how many you make and eat !!

 

[janetelizabeth]

I'm not good with oats so was just going to make them for taster session. I do sometimes make Joseph oat biscuits but using proper ingredients...no sweetener I mean.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Nectarine
Kiwi
Sharon fruit

3 red onion and mushroom mini quiches
Gherkins onions carrot

Muffin partial hex b
2.5 cookies partial hex b plus 2.5 syns

Bag puffts 3.5 syns
Muffin partial hex b
2 rolos 2 syns

Pepper stuffed with veggie mince sweetcorn mushrooms baked beans using the old el Paso mix 1 syn

[janetelizabeth]

Nice cooking day Jaffa...I saw that sw sent out a video for stuffed peppers. I use to make them all the time in Spain using tuna. Never heard of soya mince over there.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Hope work goes ok Jaffa. I know you're not weighing but are you still helping at group tonight?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Well I might weigh as scales were down a bit this morning !!

You know what I'm like

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yeah I know...as the moment takes you! lol.
