good afternoon
rice pudding is in the slow cooker and meat is cooking for a lasagne going to have lasagne and jacket potatoes.
i'm being good and have only used 1/2 tub of tescos value mince and have bulked it out with mushrooms and a tin of tomatoes. don't think it will stretch to a lasagne and a spag bol thoughBoiler pot £30.92/£10000 -

claire, if you add grated carrot and finely chopped celery (or other veg) that will bulk it our a bit. i add mushrooms as well.Cats don't have owners - they have staff!!DFW Long Hauler Supporter No 1500 -
Spud - I likey - that's pretty....gorgeous colours too.
DH's work have managed to pay someone elses expenses into our account :mad: as it went it at the same time as the last lot of SSP I'd assumed it was just part of that payment....so now they want £100 back (rightly so) but I just don't have it until the end of the month so they'll have to go hang."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W.

I often add kidney beans, as well as the veg to bulk it out...and a handfull of oats doesn't notice either"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0 -

Also try adding baked beans if your family don't like kidney beans - works a treat.0

I use those in soups, soak over night in loads of water then boil them up until cooked before adding to a soup.
I'm doing a pasta bake tonight, got 3 slices of gammon from the xmas gammon, some broccoli and cauli and I'll make a cheesey sauce to go on top."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0
