I baked mine in halogen for 8-10 mins or do them in microwave Ok so they aren't choc chip or double choc muffins but served with a squirt of light cream on top and some fresh fruit and a mug of tea, they're actually ok .

PEBBLES AND THE GANGS 'GREAT GRUB' RECIPES

MAGIC PORRIDGE
- scrum tiddlyyum. Give it a go if you haven't.
Basically add a muller any flavour ( can use other low fat yogs) to 28g porridge oats ( a b choice) mix really well and place in fridge overnight. When you take it out in morning it will be creamy and yum. You can eat it warm or cold I preferred it cold as it was too sweet wen warm


CHICKEN IN A POT
Syn free on Red
2 carrots sliced
2 onions sliced
2 celery stalks sliced
3lb whole chicken
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup water or stock (Bovril)
1/2 tsp dried basil
Put carrots, onions, celery into slow-cooker add whole chicken.Top with salt, pepper and water or stock. Sprinkle basil over top.
Cook 8-10 hours on Low or 4-5 hours on High

Defo giving both these a go this week.. Anything in the slow cooker is a YES from me at the mo especially.. Never would have thought to do a whole chicken in there tho... Assume its OK to put the chicken into the halogen over after for 10-15 mins to crisp the skin???

Hi , all your recipes look fab Hun. Just wondering though , how many people do they feed ? Sorry if its a daft question x

Hi , usually 4 of us as a rule. Though sometimes just the 2 of us . Let me know if there's any in particular and I'll come back to you. The chilli above served 3 of us but would do 2 a large portion . I'll add it to each listing thanks

Dubs how on earth did you miss that one ? I didn't realise you weren't in the 'loop'
Yeah the chicken does need browning , so I would say it'd be fine in the halogen . I've done it by browning in a pan before but Hogsmill would be better . The theory is - skin should be off really but I keep it on cos the kids love it . Xx

Was gona say I'd worry it'd be too dry.. But with the stock, it wouldn't really would it?! Think I'll do it as per the recipe first and then decide xx

Yorkshire pudding batter mix ( I usually make my own but for SW it's easier to calculate syns this way. )

Made up the batter and it made 5 small toads Each covering 2 sausages.
Batter mix = 5.5 syns. Check depending on make of mix. I used aunt Bessie's


1 pack batter mix
Joes sausages ( or similar no/ low syn to your choice)

Part cook the sausages then add mix and cook until brown And risen.


Syn free onion gravy
-----------------------
Serves 2

1 onion chopped
1 garlic clove chopped finely
500ml water
2 beef oxo
Tsp thyme
Splash of balsamic vinegar

Spray a pan with fry light and cook onions and garlic for 2 mins, mix the oxos and water, then add a few tbsp to the onions to prevent them sticking.
Keep adding more until onions are softened.
Then add remaining mix along with a splash of balsamic and the thyme.
Bring to boil then reduce heat and allow to simmer , preferably for 30 mins until reduced .
