Hey a really quick question, and it may sound stupid, I bought the silicone muffin tray in Dunnes and the ingredients for lainey's muffins, but I forgot to buy muffin cases, but do you actually need to use them in the silicone trays? Sorry I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to baking!
I'm totally new to baking, My mum says I should just use the silicone tray on its own. I just happen to have the muffin cases in the press so i'm using them with the silicone tray. Try them out just in the tray
Its all about learning and sharing 0 -

Yup Lainy used them without the cases and it worked perfectly, I used a lil spray oil just to 'grease' the tray,and they came out without sticking at all. Very handy I have to say, Im gonna try buy more of those silicone things for bread etc.
Just had a muffin, absolutely gorgeous!
On a different note, has anyone tried the spelt bread? I was in my local coffee shop today, the place where I'd automatically order a scone with jam and cream (about 16 pp Id imagine!), anyway told the girl I was on WW and she recommended the spelt bread, its gorgeous, really tasty and filling!
All those kinda silicone baking trays are on offer next week in lidl i think! I'm going to try those cheese and tomato muffins in the supplement with RTE guide next week. they are 4pp too
Call my the muffin gal!0 -
Monife I am going to be a right pain here and suggest that you do take them off your weeklys and cut back on the alcohol tonight. I am not trying to be a a killjoy but years of dieting has shown me that once I allow myself to break/bend the rules it becomes a really slippery slope! I think that drawing a line under a bad day is no harm, but if we paid for these bad times perhaps we would think twice before having them again. I used a lot of points yesterday and usually sat and sun are the days when I would use the majority of my 49 points, I have only 15 left:o but I am determined to stick within my points, otherwise come next fri I will do the exact same thing!Fell off the wagon Thursday and Friday, help!
Went 5PP over budget on Thurs and about 12PP over budget last night! and can't even take it out of my treat points as I have allocated them for alcohol tonight because it is my friends birthday.
Not feeling motivated at all this week, only exercise I have done is Zumba class on Thurs nite and have no time to do any today (and it's lashing rain).
Any ideas on how I can get back on track and feel motivated and confident again?
Monife I think you have done fantastic up until now and I am not trying to wind you up so please dont take this wrong. Think how glad you will feel tomo morn if you stay within your points. enjoy your night:)0 -

I love the Kelkin Chocolate Rice Cakes - they're 2PP each and so yum, they remind me of popcorn and chocolate mixed but sometimes I find it hard to just eat the one
Lainy, I made the muffins and I made a balls of them ha!! Forgot to add the baking powder / bicarbonate of soda and just threw it in at the end...everyone is saying great things about them on here but I must have been having an off day cuz they were a disaster...They reminded me of the muffins Lucy Liu makes in Charlie's Angels that wedges in the door :rolleyes: Might give them another go tomorrow!!
Also, I pointed HB Choc Ice tub of ice-cream earlier and it was only 3PP for 2 scoops - not bad if you just pile it up with a loada fruit, yum...thats desert sorted for me after my lamb tomorrow 0 -

Same thing happened to me first time i made them...i thought i could get away with using self raising flour and not bother with baking powder!
I'm total novice when it comes to baking!0 -

Sorry about your loss Darkblond.
Lady Lainy going to try your muffins, tks! You are a star when it comes to information, have you thought of becoming a leader?
I am now on day three and so far so good! Have not used any of my weekly points yet!
I want to go shopping tomorrow for weightwatchers and other suitable foods.
Do any of you have any suggestions for the basic stuff that you should keep a stock of when on weightwatchers?
I gather from Lady Lainey that the Aldi low fat choc
drink is good, also the weightwatchers yoghurt?
Any specific breads? Snack breads? I hate ryevita!
In other words any suggestions for a shopping list for basic for the cupboard or fridge please:):) Things you can not survive without??
Tesco do lovely bars, their in a purple packet where all the WW bars and healthy living stuff is (crackers etc) and they are like choc, raisin and biscuit only 2PP. an orange one (havent tried it) for 3PP.
2 finger kit kat for 3PP, Curly Wurly for 3PP.
There are reduced fat cream crackers in tesco (tesco brand and WW brands).
Also, there are these crisp breads in same section (sorry dont know the name) but there are 6 in the packet and aparently only 2 or 1PP for the 6. Top with low fat cheese triangle (0PP for 1, 1PP for 2) and some tomatoe is lovely.
Things I always I have in cupboard.
Various dried spices.
Stock cubes.
Balti and Tikka curry paste.
Low cal oil spray.
Tin tomatoes.
Sesame oil (good for stir fries)
Will have a look in the cupbord later and post more. Just havin a few drinkies now before I head out. Yay havent bin out since new years. 0 -
