    Using everything except the sausages you could make a bake in the oven. You will probably have to part cook all the ingredients first though.

    Have you got any pasta? Pasta with the bacon and sausages (bake or in the pan) served with veggies.

    Make a tomato sauce using a tin of toms, some onion and grateed carrot - cook. add chopped up sausages ( i usually grill first then chop) adda nd cook through. Add in any other veg you fancy and serve with some pasta or riceor potatos if that's what you have.

    OR veg soup followed by bacon, egg and chips?

    Part cook the sausages in the oven. - You could also do this with the bacon

    Chop up all the veg and boil them on the hob.

    Chop the sausage and bacon into small pieces/chunks

    Once the veg is starting to soften, add the sausage and bacon.

    Make up some gravy/stock and add to the soup/stew
    It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice

    cauliflower and brocolli cheese,with crispy bacon pieces on top
    use some of the double cream in the cheese sauce to make it rich and yummy

    serve with jacket potato and warm crusty bread to soak up the sauce

    I would make a veggie bake, par boil the brocolli, cauli, carrrots and parsnips, fry the onion and the bacon, ana make a cheese sauce with some of the cream, grate some cheese on top and serve with bread or even with the sausages as well.

    Yummy x
