Afternoon all,
Thanks for the tips re the kingsmill crustless bread as bread is the one thing that I could not do without, I dont eat alot but love a toastie sandwich.
Anyway found it hard to get the crustless locally but I found the 50/50 and white standard loaves checked the nutritional values and found them slightly lower than a standard slice of bread so I sent an e-mail to Kingsmill asking them if I cut the crusts off the bread would it bring the values down to same as crustless and they replied saying that yes indeed it would so for any of you guys that cannot get hold of the crustless, but dont do what I done first time, I cut the crusts off and ate them thought I was making for my nephew lol...
Anyone know what brand of oven chips are the lowest, have got the tesco quarter pounders and would love to have chips with them the odd time.
Are frazzels 1 or 1.5 points, my points card has them at 1.5 but I read here somewhere that they are 1.
O! and Christie where do you get the loaded skins (2 for 3 points sounds devine)
Also anyone know are thai bites still available, I'm in Ireland and have checked a few of the big supermarkets and they dont have them.

The multipack bag of frazzles work out at 1 point using a calculator, which is worth investing in as you may find that you are underpointing youself of a few things by using the point card.
WW chips are the best taste and point wise at 2 points per 100g but they are quite difficult to find around here - not sure about where you live though.

the biggest piece of advice given to me was about chips...make them your self!
250g of potatoe is 2 points!
chip them sprinkle some paprika or chilli powder or leave them plain, cook them in the oven and there you have it delicious home made chips...much better points value that frozen ones!
Also today i cut the pot's into thicker slices like wedges par boiled them for 5 mins... covered them in a nacho cheese schwarz packet mix ( 1 point for half the pack) and cooked in oven for about 40mins...nicer than any frozen wedges and again you get lots more for your points!

u get the loaded potato shells in iceland for £1 sooooo nice!!! isnt a a slice of normal white breat 1 point?Thanks so much girls for the tips, never thought of making my own oven chips the nacho cheese sounds lovely Laurie and also 250g for 2 points is fab as its about 3/4 for about 150g of the frozen ones. Must look in Iceland for some low point foods. Giong shopping later so will post if I find anything new and low.
Just tried fab recipe for curried chicken pasta.
Mix together:-
1tsp curry powder
pinch ground tumeric
1 tsp lemon juice
30g low fat soft cheese (I used phili extra light)
125g low fat natural yog
1tsp art sweetner
add two chopped spring onions and half a choped red, yellow or orange pepper (or a mix of all three)
Add cooked pasta (60g raw weight)
and 100g cooked chicken.
Add two tbsp of chopped fresh coriander.
It works out at 7.5 points for all of it.
Its a bit like coronation chicken.

Ben & Jerry's chunky mango and berry swirl sorbet is 5pts for the entire pot. More importantly it tastes fantastic!
The pineapple and passionfruit one isn't my thing, but DH who likes passionfruit assures me that it's lush, too. Slightly higher in points, I think, but still 'affordable'.
