Hi Pete,

I really want to try this at the weekend but have no natural yoghurt, do you think it would work if I used some LF fromage frais instead?? Thanks x

Hi Loundy.
Fromage Frais is a type of soft cheese and is sometimes used instead of yoghurt but I would think that apart from a change of taste it should be ok to substitute but I have never tried it!

Made you're egg fried rice with chicken (added Colman's Curry Sauce - 6 syns) and way to go..........so good and now a regular, thanks Pete x

Sorry for the non working "Attachments" but I cannot delete them even when I go to edit and highlight the attachment even though I clicked on "delete" I hate this new format. Bring back the old style.....I know it was updated for security reasons but it should still work as before! I spend a lot more time trying to load up my recipes!

 

[Beatthefat!]

wow your recipes are really good need to steal a few of them!

 

[bilsat]

Hi Gettingfit.
I go to the attachments and hover over , click the cross but nothing happens,even when it changes to a shaded box, that's the problem! also I liked the old format with the preview before posting as it was easier to edit

 

[dextersmum]
