What kind of things would you use that in? I LOVE cheese

I mix it in a bowl with cherry tomatoes and spring onion, as its soft is mushes up then i have it inside a pitta bread with salad it is gorgeous!
or you could make a greek salad with lettuce peppers and use this instead of full fat feta.

Just thought i would add something, this is a fantastic thread by the way. I really don't like skimmed milk but my leader recommended 'the one', its sold in supermarkets, it has a lilac lid and it has the same points as skimmed (2 points per pint) but it tastes the same as semi skimmed, and it really does taste the same.

Hope this might help anyone who struggles with skimmed milk.

Oh yes just remembered a reallly nice treat i used to have, get the pink and white wafers (you know the wafers with marshmallow in the middle) these are 0.5 point each, then heat them for a while in the oven, only a couple of minutes but they go lovely, the wafer goes very crispy and the marshmallow goes all gooey Mmmmmmmmm!!

Love Busy XX

Oh my god I am addicted to those things, now I will be even more addicted! Must try that tomorrow! (no points left today) I love the jammie ones too (not sure how many points they are though)

My favourites are:

Snack a jacks mini bagels, 2 points a pack but they go on forever!

Freddo choc frogs 2 points each

Rice Krispie squares (original), 2 points each, now those I do zap in the microwave until they are gooey!
