oooh your chips look great. Did you put the cheese in with the chips in the actifry towards the end? Or just dish them out then add it? I've got a actifry so would love to try putting the cheese in to melt it more, I'm guessing its safe... though its prob v messy? x

Ok so not so much a meal idea but I just made these oatbran muffins. They're one HEB plus 0.5 syns. Lovely.
28g Oatbran
1 egg
Sweetner
1tbs quark
2 tbs yogurt
1tsp baking powder
flavouring of your choice
I made these as sweet muffins but next time I may leave out the sweetener and flavouring and use a HEA portion of cheese to make cheese muffins.
I have to add. This isn't my creation. I got it from the dukan website when I was following the dukan diet.
