Should be OK. I've used it past the best before. For longer term "past" smell it. If it smells off then obviously bin in. It is a best before not a use by date.Brunch - large lc pancake with blueberries and double cream poured over the top. I have some Almond four which is out of date the end of this week - should I use it up before then or will it be ok for a little longer - what do yous think ?
Dinner - chicken balmoral with sprouts, broccoli and a little carrot. lc trifle
@Max68 - @MrsA2 has just reminded me of something I haven't made for a while - salami crisps! Similar idea but, you put the salami slices into the microwave between 2 sheets of paper kitchen towel. Depends on the power of the microwave but between 1--1.5 mins. Just keep checking and do them little by little. They crisp as they cool. Marks & Spencer sell them but it's less expensive to make your own.Although snacking is frowned upon, this has to be a way of eating for life, that fits into real life.
I use homemade cheese crisps. Dead easy. Buy a presliced cheese such as gouda or emmenthal (not cheddar, too runny) and cut a slice into about 6 triangles. Place the triangles on a piece of greaseproof paper and cook on high in microwave for a minute, may need 10-30 seconds longer depending on cheese or microwave. As they cool they crisp up and you eat them. Good for dips.
Can also add flavouring such as paprika, garlic powder, seeds etc.
They keep well in an airtight tin.
These satsify me much better than the potato or mass produced snacks.
I often do them as part of my lunch
They can be cooked in an oven too for 15-20 minutes
This one works but it's quite labour intensive. It is a no churn recipe if you don't have an ice cream maker but you will need something to blitz it with. I use a stick blender or the large blender on my Kenwood. The trick is to stick to berries for the sorbet and use a decent sweetener. I use Monk Fruit sweetener as it doesn't have an after taste to me. It's an online purchase. Cheapest I've found it was at "my diet shop". When you are making the syrup watch it like a hawk. Monk Fruit is an expensive thing to burn!Oh for someone to invent a sugar free sorbet!! After the salad last night been a bit more naughty today. Lunch 3 cold sausages, two lower carb crisp bread thingies with stilton. Dinner tub of firecracker chicken wings (they are fabulous) with 5 little brew city mozzarella and gouda oven cooked cheese balls (same company that does the halloumi fries) with two small slices of lower carb toast with pate. Usual strawberries and double cream to finish. Coke zero as always. Did I say oh for someone to invent a sugar free sorbet?
I use a dry rub. You get the little packs in the supermarkets. I like the chimichurri one and also sriracha.It’s good to see you @Antje77 and happy birthday greetings from me too. The tuna melt mushrooms look wonderful. Great idea.
Has anyone here a favourite chicken wing marinade? Something simple I might already have ingredients for. I have a big bag in the fridge, I’m usually happy with just s&p and air fryer but I’m in the mood for a change.

It's Schwartz that make them. Here's the link from ASDA so you can see what they look like but all the supermarkets have them - well Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, Sainsbury's anyway.I like both those spicy flavours so will look out for them. Our little Co op doesn’t do anything so exotic, I really do need to make an effort to get into town. Still haven’t replaced my reading glasses that Dennis ate, or got to Iceland for the broccoli soufflés.
Yes, I got it. I've changed my password. I use different passwords anyway so I wasn't too bothered.Forgive the interruption, but I know several on here use the Copymethat app for recipes. I've just had an email saying they've had a data breach and passwords stolen. Has anyone else had this email?
Yes, I wasn't too bothered as no private data on there, but just wanted to check and see it wasn't just me as it came out at an odd timeYes, I got it. I've changed my password. I use different passwords anyway so I wasn't too bothered.
