Hey Kim, hope you're feeling better today

im good today, how about you, ive just been reading your food diary ,i did notice you use a lot of weightwatcher meals ,i found that sometimes if you make meals from scratch they are less points rather than their meals i tend to only use there stuff if im in a rush. chicken casseroles and chicken curry are quite low depending on what you use in them and quorn for spag bols are low.

Hey Kim, glad to hear your feeling better today! Thanks for your tip. I know I really should start making my own recipes. I find the ww meals really good for quickness and easieness and quite tasty. I do like to have baked potatos and chicken dishes just can't be bothered making them! lol sometimes I find it an effort having to point all the ingredients. I would love if you had any good recipes I could try? I tried the Quorn alternative last year for spag bol I made for me and David but we both didn't like it. xx

i shall dig some recipes out for you when i get a chance. i dont mind the (mince quorn) or the chicken one which helps.im really fussy with food so when i started weightwatchers i had a bit of a problem a im not big on veg and i hate salads (i see them as a punishment) lol. i eat more fruit now. i do miss pizza sometimes cos they ate quite high in points and i dont think weightwatchers have enough choice in there range. i bought a kiddie one from morrisons but i think that was about 4.5 ish i think but was a bit scimpy on the ham and cheese lol, but its surprising what you will eat when there is not much to choose from.

just a shame i dont have the points for dumplings as well that would have been lovely Mmmmmmmm.

 

[mommyB]

i seem to remember a there being a recipe for low point dumplings, but i'm afraid i dont know it!!

 

[bacardikim]

just found this one just got to work out the points now.

i used a measuring cup,used (8oz) flour ,2 tablespoons were no where near enough so i kept adding till it was right consistency and i made 7 large dumplings and they wernt that bad ,would try them again.

Makes 4 large dumplings

2 cups (mug size) of SELF RAISING flour
2 eggs
salt & pepper
Herbs (optional) I like sage in them
and 2 tablespoons of water.

Put your flour in a bowl. Add dry ingredients. Add eggs and mixed well.
You may already have a dough type consistency and not need to add the water (this depends on the size of your

eggs.)
If you still have flour at the bottom of the bowl that hasn't mixed in, add one tablespoon of water at a time

until you get a nice, doughy consistency.
If you add a touch too much liquid, add a little flour to get the balance back.
Split the mixture into 4 then roll into balls and pop them ontop of your stew.
They take 30 mins to cook in the oven or ontop of the hob. (remember to put a lid on them when on the hob to

ensure the top gets cooked too.)
