You will like this one. We buy it even when I'm not point counting. It's just like normal Korma.

Lovin your name btw.

A lovely recipie I have tried tonight is stewed apple with chopped bread on top, a little melted marg and some sweetener or sugar and baked in the oven until the bread goes crunchy. It was delicious and a sweet fix. You can work out the points according to how much bread/sugar/marg etc you use. Mine came to three points and was well worth it.

ww garlic and herb dough balls. got them from asda, cant remember how much but they are 2 points for half a pack (8 in a pack) and they were really nice.
will be buying them again

Not read all the pages back, so this may already be on here, but Cadbury's Creme Eggs are 3.5 points, which I think is soooo worth it

This is actually the best news I've ever heard!! Don't know if it's been mentioned before but Quark is 0.5point per heaped tablespoon - it's not quite as nice as normal cream cheeses on its own but lovely on crispbreads with a bit of black pepper, salsa and a slice of ham! Also dead useful for using in cooking - I put it in a lot of my pasta sauces to cream them up!xx

 

[mommyB]

oooh the quark thing sounds nice, i like cottage cheese on crispbreads with a smear of pesto, it might work with quark too for even less points. Thanks for the tip

 

[Sherry2k]

Quark? I've never heard of it. Hmmmmm, adorn my deerstalker and get investigating me thinx.

walkers french fries only 1 point per bag

walkers french fries only 1 point per bag

See this really bothers me..... according to the online WW tracker, french fries are 1.5 points. If they are 1 point then I'm being diddled out of half a point every time I have a bag........ that's a whole apple..... or a jumbo caramel snack a jack..... or two satsumas!! Dammit!

oh i used my ww calculator i bought at a meeting :S im confused now lol

 

[IreneH]

I always use my WW calculator working points out using calorie and sat fat info on pack

Ingredients and size of pack could have changed and so WW site could be wrong

I have the same prob with snack a jacks!!! ive been counting french fries as 1.5, will check with calculator!!

[Sherry2k]

I'm thinkin WW online tracker is fab but if I gotta double check all the points I'm putting in............ well that's just pants innit? Hmmm, slightly delighted if French Fries are just 1 point! Little trickle of happiness just came over me - yay! How sad?? PMSL!!

 

[mommyB]

i have heard a few poeple say the on line points thingy is not relaiable

 

[Sherry2k]

Really? Well then that does explain alot - maybe I should just rely on my own calculations from now on! Dya know what - that' really bugs me! They bother to set it up, you'd think they'd be checking the points too eh? Grrr!
