I had such a bad day experimenting in the kitchen today!
I tried a pasta dish, not good.
I tried a little chocolate ramekin cake made with bananas, not good.
Both went in the bin.
After eating a decent batch of pasta I was still craving a good dessert and I thought why not have the easiest, tastiest dessert I know?
Eton mess, or as I like to call it Eatin mess.
I love this wether I'm watching my weight or not. Especially when the strawberries are good and I bought a lovely couple of punnets today.
So all you do is throw a meringue nest or two in a bowl, Tesco finest are great and only 1 pro point each. Bash them up (that's the technical term). Then add a load of chopped strawberries, 0 pro points and a lovely dollop or two of cream. I use weight watchers cream, 1 pro point for 30g. I love that cream, I'd used low fat spray cream in the past but this is so much better.
Mix them all together.
It cheers me up to add a tiny little bit of Askeys raspberry syrup, it reminds me of 99's from an ice cream van. You could even add a flake or a bit of one if you've points to spare.
I use 2 meringue nests and one dollop of weight watchers cream which brings it to 4 pro points but you could amend to suit your points allowance.
I don't track the points for the syrup which is probably illegal in weight watchers world but it's only a teeny bit!

Carton of egg whites weight watchers 0 pro points
I was so happy to find this carton of egg whites in Dunnes yesterday. Anything 0 pro points, handy and with lots of uses makes me very happy!
I don't know if they've been around for long and I just didn't notice them among all the milk but I was delighted to find that pretty little carton.
I always felt guilty throwing out egg yolks when I made mostly egg white omelettes or frittatas or when I made meringue. There's only so many egg yolk scrambled eggs I could feed my little boy!
The carton's brand is 2 chicks, they're free range and there's the equivalent of 15 egg whites in a carton. I've photos below of the nutrition & other info on the pack.
Thanks chicks!
