On your marks... Get set... Bake!

Ok... So we're all not Mary Berry BUT we can all be Mrs. Kipling or bake a Cadburys brownie thanks to these all in one cake mix boxes... I spotted these purely for the Halloween cupcakes and thought it might be something people would do with the kids over the break... The others I pointed out of curiosity, and I promise you, there are no typos... OH MY! Now the cakes say they serve 12... I know... The SmartPoints are for the cake as fully baked... But aren't the cupcakes cute! Anyone baked one? x

Pumpkin Pasta is a thing!

New fresh pastas from Aldi... I spotted the seasonal pumpkin packaging and just had to see how they were points wise... I think they're pretty good! The thing I love about these are they're quick and comforting... by the time the water is boiling your in your PJs and ready for the Bake Off! SmartPoints are for the pasta when it's cooked just in case you spot the packet and think it's weighed out wrong... it's the added water to plump it up! Pumpkin pasta going on the menu in Casa Kinsella! Anyone tried these yet? x

I know high protein cheese isn't for everyone but it can really give you that cheesey fix, without all the points... I LOVE cheese, I'm convinced I was a mouse in a former life... or a cheese maker! Grating this over pita breads or in toasted wraps/sandwiches will give you that cheesey flavour without all the SmartPoints... I'm a fan of this one... Anyone else tried it out? x

Müller Skyr pots!

These are the new Skyr style yoghurt pots from Müller... I'm always a bit dubious when I see 'high protein' on things now because it can often mean high sugar content so studying the label isn't a bad thing to do... 10SP is a lot for a yoghurt but the joy of WW is you can eat what you like as long as you track it, so nothing is off the menu... Anyone tried them out yet? x
