Cheese and potato pie is easy - there's a thread on here if that's what you want
You could add leeks if you fancy making it a bit more exotic!

potato style pizza base topped with cheese and veggies, tinned tomatoes?
thinking parboil the potatoes, slice them up, gently pan fry them then put at the base of a pie dish/tin. mash would work too.0 -

see from your ingredients you have makings of lovely green salad and either beetroot salad or do roast veg with beetroot onions and pepper and mushroom with a little oil and garlic. oh i would prob do a potato rosti serve the roast veg on top and top with slices of goats cheese and melt that under the grill.0

Portobello mushroom, with some leeks and red peppers softened, then under the grill with the goat's cheese, spinach and chard cooked (maybe make a ragu-style sauce with the chopped onion and tinned tomatoes) and a few potato rostis? Or serve with cous-cous or similar?
Thing is you'd use about 40 pans and bowls etc. I think that's why I seem to spend most of my life washing up :rolleyes:**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D

Reet....dinner coming up...and then onto the evening tasks:
- sloes: what actual FOOD one can cook with them
- gazebo: "worthy" group I'm involved with looking therefore
- how's my favourite nun getting on now?

Now...if anyone's got any recipes on actual FOOD one can do with sloes - all contributions welcome......I've got my sloe gin and sloe vodka marinating away in a cupboard - but 'tis actual FOOD recipes to do with sloes I'm looking for right now.
Thinks....what other stuff am I going to look up tonight? Ah yes.....green manure....I'm looking for what one can grow as "green manure" that is multipurpose (one can eat the "green manure" itself or use it some useful way anyways.....)....
....goes wandering off thinking "my favourite nun aint the only one thats feeling a bit tipsy round here at present.......reet: food for self for dinner tonight = first stop".....:D0 -
