Hi there good Peeps!

I managed to get 2 latrge bags of Spinach whoopsied yesterday. what would you do with them?! Any suggestions? Have looked for a few recipies but I am not that struck? I might do a curry dish (aka saag) I also have a block of blue cheese that needs using up. and a savoury tart case I was given. Quite fancy doing something with that. any suggestions? I am not that well at the moment and my brain has gone to mush:o
"Help" !!
(Fanx in advance!)

Black treacle ( tins of the stuff and I know its iron rich so must use)
Dried onions (used in naans/ bread so far. Have about 12 boxes :rolleyes:)
Black bean sauce (6 jars)
Mincemeat (16 jars - makes lovely fruit cake but other ideas?)

Hi cheerfulness...
There was TREACLE thread a few days ago.
I fancy the ginger bread myself :drool:

There is a few ideas on the Whitworths site for DRIED ONIONS

I think I would use up the mincemeat/filo by doing the parcels as mentioned before. I bet they would be very yummy hot out of the oven with a cheeky little dollop of vanilla ice cream

The only thing I can think of using up the Black bean sauce for would be stirfrys

I would deffo go for a spinach quiche... a little bit of blue cheese would add a little extra bite to it.

Thanks for those links. :T

I was just looking back through all the treacle ones and I noticed a post from me from nearly 2 years ago! That must be how I learnt to use it for parkin and ginger cake. :rotfl:
Love the scones ideas but was horrified about the post about tins exploding when out of date. Heck hope I watched my dates when opening a new one. I seem to gather loads each time they're on offer.

That Whitworths site has a really nifty little recipe searcher, doesn't it? Gonna love playing with that cos I've found dates and broth mix now, too.

The dried onion would be good in bread too...

Spinach risotto and a curry is what I did when I got spinach last week.

I do feel for you ISOM - I get a bit overwhelmed by change, particularly changes I'd rather not have to make.
I especially understand about the cats. I adored mine too and felt guilty for a while after she died that it was also a relief not to have the worry of vet bills and cat food prices (that seemed to be escalating).
I now have a little cat two doors down that seems to have adopted me and follows me round when I'm gardening. Not quite the same but I love that little bit of furry company.

Hi All
I am really pleased with myself as I did a freezer inventory last night and plan on living on what's in freezer, fridge and stock cupboard for the next month with only having to buy a few fresh things for DD who is 2. I have yet to do my pantry but that's full of things too - all the staples, flour, plain SR, bread, eggs, jars, herbs, spices......So today my task is making up my next 3 weeks meals out of the below and a few added extras - to allow me to live on 175 a month for 2 adults and 1 toddler. I am so excited - any ideas please feel free to comment.
