[missy1978]

My first attempt at OAty pancakes.

Mixed 2 x HEB or porridge oats with Asda blueberry yoghurt, 2 eggs and cinnamon.

Fry lited gently...

Lol - and tis photo wAs taken before it flopped!

Marmite stew is a basic tomatoe based soya chunk stew with a huge dollop go marmite in it.

I'm not a great marmite lover - I like it occasionally but read about this and thought I'd give it a try. It definitely added a certain something!

I LOVE marmite so this sounds awesome to me! Do you have a recipe you could share?

 

[Ophelia105]

Gosh I just make these things up..

1 onion

Veggies of choice - I used courgette and mushroom

Soya chunks

Veggie stock powder - just a sprinkle

Passata or chunky tinned toms

2 tbspn marmite

Pre boil soya chunks

Fry lite onion and rest of veg - don't over cook

Add passata and soya chunks

Add seasoning

Add marmite

Simmer to thicken sauce

I hope this helps - it is all just thrown together...

 

[missy1978]

Yep, that does help - thank you! That's going on my things to make list, would never have thought of using marmite like that

I know what you mean though, I just kind of throw recipes together as well quite often and end up looking a bit blank when I get asked for a recipe lol

Yesterday I had 3 pints of lager and 1 large glass of wine. I knew it was going to happen so had planned for it by being careful with my syns. Fortunately at the BBQ I had WW petit pain with REd onion sausages with fry lite onions. My only vice - food wise - was some red sauce. So not too bad.


I managed to make some syn free jelly - finally. I used one sachet of Asda vegetarian gelatine mixed with WW plum and raspberry sugar free squash. The sachet said it made 1 pint but that didn't work so I made about 600 ml. And added in some berries.
