Very Tasty Treat & Great Value for Points!

Just have to share these! They've saved my bacon a few times from those damned sweet tooth cravings. They are Harvest Morn Benefit Cereal bars from Aldi. I get a box of the Sultana and Apple and a box of the Chocolate and Orange. They come in a box of approx 6 bars and are similar to Special K bars but actually much tastier because of the sweet tasting yoghurt on the top. I have one of the apple and sultana ones mid morning and then instead of a chocolate bar I have a chocolate and Orange one with a cuppa mid afternoon. They are fab! And drum roll please..... Only 2 propoints per bar. Now could you beat that with a stick?! ;-)

Pancake Tuesday

Throwing caution to the wind for pancake Tuesday! Apple, cinnamon & golden syrup pancakes and Banana & Nutella pancakes. I did not point, please do not follow my bad example! But very yummy pancakes ;-)
After quite the debacle with my OH as to whether we have dinner and pancakes or just pancakes on pancake Tuesday, we (or more so I, to make lighter the amount of work in the kitchen!) decided to fore go dinner & go for the pancakes!

Basic Pancake Recipe

100g Plain Flour
300ml Skimmed Milk
Pinch of Salt
1 Lg Egg

Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Mix well so there are no lumps. Leave standing for 30 mins. Pour enough for a thin pancake, flip when you see a number of air bubbles.

For the Apple filling chop apples & put in a pot with some cinnamon and golden syrup. Heat through & serve with your pancakes with some cream or ice cream.

Yummo! :-)

The Nicest Thing I Ever Ate!

Warm Apple Crisp, need I say more?! Oh the warm cinnamony deliciousness of an apple crisp with low fat cream or ice cream. Just sooooo fulfilling for those of us now watching our sweet intake. Believe me, a little goes a long way to satisfaction with this baby! Quite simply one of the nicest things I ever ate. (Like the show on Food Network haha! Okay, too corny, I know :-) And so easy to make! Literally chop apple and top with mixture! You will not regret making this I tell you! The only problem may be stopping at one portion :-)

Okay so here's the recipe! Oh and enjoy..... :-)

4 medium cooking Apples
