ooh thanks ill have to look out for it xx

You're welcome! It's really handy, I always keep a pouch or two in the cupboard. The beef & the chicken are two Syns for the whole pouch. The turkey is slightly higher at 2.5, but you get loads! xx
 
do you know if theres any vegetable ones?? x

I don't think so hun! Those Knorr Stock Pots are Free though - lots of people at my group use them to make gravy. They do a vegetable one and a herby one in those I think xx

Not long! I defrosted the mince over night. In a pan with Frylight I softened some sliced mushrooms and chopped onions. Added the quorn mince and the gravy and simmered for about 10 mins while I mashed the potatoes. Put the mince in an ovenproof dish and top with the mashed potato and cheese and pop in the oven until the cheese melts and becomes golden xx
 
Hi
just popping into subscribe as I see you do some red days too

Hello, thanks for visiting! :) I mostly do green days but I do like some red days thrown in there too xx
 
Hope you've had a good weekend! :D xx
 
loving the gravy pouch! how much is in there hun? Always find it hard to know the exact suns of gravy x

It's fab isn't it? I get in a right kerfuffle over gravy so I always just stick to these pouches now. The pouch is 200g - basically about two servings I'd say. One pouch was enough to make me two shepherds pie bases anyway! xx


Hope you've had a good weekend! :D xx

Thanks Jo! I didn't really do much, had a bit of a cosy weekend. Looks like you had fun in the snow :D xx
 
Morning diary. I am in a foul mood this morning due to the weather. I had to trudge 20 minutes in the snow this morning (a journey that would normally take 10 minutes) and wait for another 40 for a bus to work. Safe to say I am feeling like an icicle and ready to slowly suffocate anybody that gets in my way today.

Don't want to bore everyone with my moaning, so I'm just going to pop my eats up and then off I go.

Today is a Green day . . .
