I take no credit for it, but in spite of pigging at the weekend and on my birthday, I was down another one and a half pounds this week! Weigh to go! Guests tomorrow night - but they will get WW chicken & mushroom stroganoff! ;D We will drink wine, and we May attack a cake ot some mince pies... I have a way of doing them as little parcels with filo pastry which saves a few fat points! -- Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore!

Sometimes pigging out doesn't have a negative effect on the scale. At least I'm hoping that's true
for me as well when I weigh in.
Congrats on the super loss this week.

I just buy the Filo pastry - get it in Sainsbury's from the Jus-Roll type section of the
freezers or fridges, I think - and use my home made mincemeat, which is in with the Christmas
stuff on my web site.
Just thaw the filo sheets, cut into 4" squares, layer two squares so they look like a star, pop a
teaspoonful of mincemeat into the middle, and gather up into a little bag shape, pinching the pastry
shut over the mincemeat.
Remember while you are making them to keep the as yet unused bits of pastry under a slightly damp
tea towel or it will dry out an get brittle and be unworkable.
Bake for about 10 mins, and dust with sifted icing sugar if you like. Personally, I prefer
them plain.
They work out at about 1.5 points each. The good thing is that filo pastry has no fat in it, unless
you do the traditional thing and brush each sheet with melted butter, so, although the mincemeat has
fat in it, the pastry is low in points. Enough fat comes out of the mincemeat in cooking to make the
pastry rich.
If you don't want to do the purse shapes, roll them up like mini Spring Rolls.

It's in the WW 2003 Time to Eat cookbook here in the UK. I can send you a scanned copy of the recipe
as a taster for the book, but I don't think it's mine to publish as the book is quite new.

Sounds fabulous, thanks. I'll go check out your Christmas section for the mincemeat recipe. I always
make a cake, but I've never made mincemeat. Could be fun!

Good point. If you could send it to extra623 (at) att (dot) net that would be great. Mom loves
stroganoff and I'd love to make it for her over the holidays.
