Hi Yes it is Honey I would sugest using it along with a lot of flavour! I just boiled mine in stock and it wasn't that great whereas the normal couscous I like like that x

Just made these.................
If you get small strawberries you will get lots more, it's just what I had and it's an experimental recipe! Another idea is to put the Nutella into a heat-proof bowl and place it into a large bowl filled with boiling water, then wait for the Nutella to melt, this would give you a runnier mix and would go around a lot more strawberries! the choice is yours!
Pete’s Strawberry Dips
Ingredients
Punnet of strawberries, small to medium size
2 Tbsp. Nutella (8 Syn)
11g pack of Options, mint flavour (2 Syn)
Method
Place in a micro-proof dish 2 Tbsp. of nutella, heat until it goes soft but not runny, remove from the microwave and dip strawberries into it and then into a bowl filled with Options, remove and place on a grease-proof sheet of paper.
When finished place the sheet into the fridge and chill for at least 1 hour.
11 made divided by 10 Syn’s =< 1 Syn each!

Looks nice-what plan do you follow tho? Is it EE? Cos if so, you need to remember 1/3 of your plate should be superfree food

Hi Welshtigger
The recipe for the gammon, peas & chips is based on the recipe in the small recipe book with a recent SW mag it is called"a month of quick & easy dinners, 31 recipes" there is no other way to identify it!The recipe is quoted as Extra Easy Free.
I also have a side portion of salad with every meal and a choice of fruit.
here is the list of super free food I had with it!
onion
tomato
lettuce
radish
apple
nectarine
I try to keep to Ee whenever possible but as most of my recipes are home made, they are based as close as possible.I have made over 85 recipes so far since starting SW which sometimes appear on this website or are Emailed to members of our group to try and comment on with suggestions on ways to improve!
They seem to work for me as I have lost almost 4stone to date.
The Schwartz sauces are a range in Sainsbury's and are on special price at 2 for £1-00 at the moment! usually 89p each, several types available
