Can you feed me until Saturday?

NickiM

I had a mishap with my meal plan, didn't get a couple of things because they weren't in stock and forgot about it. Now I don't feel I have that much and need some ideas for breakfast, lunch and tea until Saturday.

Breakfast: Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Lunch: Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Dinner, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

I currently have in my cupboards:
Freezer
Frozen peas (half bag)
2 x unsalted butter
Portion of frozen soup


Fridge
Little bit of milk
¼ pack of butter
¾ red pepper
A couple of florets of broccoli
Chunk of cucumber
Lemon

Cupboards
Lots of baking stuff: flour (self raising, plain, bread), various sprinkles for cakes, cocoa, drinking chocolate, sugar (brown and caster)
Olive oil
Vegetable oil
Pasta and spaghetti
Large onion
Bag of potatoes
Oats
Can of tinned tomatoes
Stock cube
2 or 3 cans of tuna
Herbs/spices
Soy sauce

Any ideas would be greatly welcomed! Thanks! I do have money to buy things, but would rather not.

that's a great idea for a business. register your stock, hit the search button and out pops recipes;)

Don't all be going to the patent office at once now :rotfl:

Sorry Nikki, didn't mean to be sarcastic, you've just approached it in a different way.

Well, I have seen threads similar to this before and thought someone could help!

I have thought of a couple of things: porridge, tuna pasta, potato bake...but anything else would be helpful

didn't mean to make fun nikki, it just gave me an idea. As for recipes, I'm sorry I'm not much help, but there are people on the forums who really are good at coming up with different dishes with limited ingredients.:beer:

I was thinking about a search engine programed with recipes. All it needs to display the recipes is the ingredients. The technology could be added into fridges, freezers and cupboards -ie, the fridge, freezer and cupboard has a scanner which scans the foods as they go in and therefore knows which foods are not used. Intelligent freezers, fridges and cupboards could give you recipes if the right technology was added.;)

Well in that case, you're too late :rolleyes: Put "cooking by numbers" into your search engine (I recommend Google, btw ).
