Sick of carrying 2 hitch hikers about, so this is my diary

[Mrs E-H]

I forgot this morning that I had already planned to have the Creamy chicken and bacon, so used my Hexa on the muffins, and it uses 16 Laughing cow lights for 4 people, well I just had it for the first time, OMG the sauce was better than any sauce I have ever had before, I would never have thought of making a cheese sauce with LC's and water...but it was really really yummy ...I am making Cauliflower cheese and Carbonara over the next couple of weeks, I know what sauce I am using lol xx

That sounds lovely we love cauliflower cheese how do you make it just laughing cows and water mixed together?

Yes 5 laughing cow lights (Hexa), not the extra light as they don't really melt and are in my opinion vile, per person and 100mls of warm water (the water is in total not per person) and stir over heat until they dissolve, add more water if you find it's too thick, but make sure you stir all the time as it will stick, really really yummy, enjoy xxx

Would be even nicer made with milk. Yum x

Brilliant thanks! I tend to use the iPhone app so the search is rubbish! It took me ages to find your minestrone recipe! Need to get back on track cos I'm failing big time! Made a variation of the speed soup today with a few tins of stuff I had in the cupboard, so that'll be lunch for the next few days, and am starting running again tomorrow
Sorry to write randomness on your thread!! Lol xx

No problem tigger, you write anything random you like hun, and if you ever want any ideas, I have a massive folder of quick tasty meals ...and I am adding more everyday, plus I have every cookbook they have (well since I joined in November lol), I get very bored having the same meals all the time, as they say variety is the spice of life lol xx

They were a piece of cake to make haha sorry about the pun, and really really quick, I liked them, hot but they were much more my cup of tea cold, I did make a :booboo: though, when I put them in the oven I forgot to set the timer then couldn't remember how long they had been in, hubby says they may have needed a few minutes more, so I would definitely watch your timing and make sure they are how you would want them, still deeelish though lol ...going to make more tomorrow, got told off for not keeping some for my daughter and her fiancée, I was a greedy girl lol (but as I told them I made them for me and used MY HEXa lol...I couldn't share them would have mucked up my Hex wouldn't it ?
(That's my story and I am sticking to it lol) xx

Was going to have the muffins again in the morning but just found this and I so want it, so this is brekkie ...I can't wait lol x


American Style Pancakes

225g sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
84g oats
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1.5 tsp honey
1 tsp vanilla flavouring (don’t use extract as that is oil based and will cost you another 2 syns)
1 pot of vanilla muller light
2 tbsp sweetener
----------------------------------------------------------------
1) Put the sweet potato in a microwaveable bowl. Add about 2 tbsp water, cover and microwave for 5-6 mins until tender.
2) In the meantime, blitz the oats in a food processor until powdery. Add the rest of the ingredients and blitz again. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk or water but it should be quite thick, but pourable.
3) Heat a non stick frying pan sprayed with butter fry light and spoon batter into it (I used a ¼ cup sized measuring cup to measure it out, this made about 6 .5 pancakes) Cook for about 3 min on each side or until golden.

Makes 6 pancakes
2 x Pancakes = 1 x HEXb + 0.5 syns

...oh my mouth is watering already lol

Sound lovely, but I'd be careful as they may need to be synned instead of HEB as technically the oats are being used like flour! Altho you're not going to eating them every day are you lol x going to try those cheese muffins tomorrow x

Hello Lily (and all)
. Wow I feel like I've found home! I'm on thyroid meds too (125 mgs daily) other problems too along the way - won't bore everyone with the detail. Your story is so inspirational and I've really enjoyed your diary, trouble is I'm spending so much time reading everyone's stories I've yet to get to grips with the mechanics of SW lol with help I'm sure I'll get there.
Anyway just wanted to say well done so far and thanks for sharing - I reckon I'll be along for the ride now too x
