Oh and I have grated monteray jack cheese too.... and creme fraiche and double cream and sour cream! and Philly-plain, garlic and herb and basil
HELP!

cream cheese added to potato soup is amazingly delicious! all of the cheeses/cream mentioned could be added to soups or casseroles and would make them ever so moreish. also i love anything like that on a baked potato (or better still a twice baked potato!) or you can do cheesy bean burritos by putting baked beans on a tortilla and sprinkling some grated monteray jack, then wrap it up buritto style, microwave for a minute or so to melt the cheese and voila, scrummy dinner!

Found some dried chick peas and stuff that's been in the cupboard for months. I've soaked overnight and will be making a soup today. Adding onions, carrots, potatoes and organic stock and a couple of beef bones which cost 25p.

Might even make enough to freeze some - but usually hubby carries on eating until it's gone in one sitting!

I am going to TRY and manage for a week with whats in my freezer/fridge. :eek:

I hate shopping for food so usually do it online but after so much waste over christmas have decided to not do a order this week.

Going to go have a look at what I have and see how many meals I can get from what I have. Not to sure family will be happy but so what ? lol

I will need to buy potatoes/bread/milk but that should be it.

Good luck, I am sure you can manage. I am the same, just had a good nosy in the fridge, freezer and cupboards and should come up with some decent meals

Rebekah24

agreed- what have you got in fridge/freezer/larder/tabletop?

I will be going the next 3 weeks without any shop, plenty in!- its doable

Can help more if we know what you have to work with

I do this once every three months or so. I grow a lot of my own spuds and veg and make my own bread so usually just need eggs, milk and the odd bit of cheese. The kids actually love "freezer diving" weeks because the meals get far more inventive, lol.
