wow, no milk at all. I might have to give this one a miss, it doesn't sound appealing, did it taste nice?

well, it's not as yummy as a proper cooked from scratch one with milk, more cheese etc, but it's half the price of this:



which I've found an acceptable quick dinner when I've needed one, I used to have it in the early weeks after Fergie was born and no-one was up for any cooking!!!! The milk-less cheese sauce was nicer than those packets, IMHO!

With the cooking bacon - are you allowing in the pricing for removal of fat/rind?

How about vegetable stock from a cube instead of water in the cheese sauce, do we have that on the Asda list? I use vegetable bouillon powder instead of salt in all sorts - makes lovely potato wedges!

I don't think I can do wedges and the salad with it if I add a stock cube firefox, sorry but is a v good suggestion taste-wise!

Whilst you're on, you were talking about omegas 3 and 6 which I haven't paid attention to at all yet

Could you do me a favour and have a glance over the currentish asda list and let me know what sources we do have on there if any :rotfl:

I wanted to let you know you have laid to rest some of my fears re feeding family healthily, i shop at Mr S, nearly all Basics, and am constantly worrying whether i am giving the family enough of the essential dietery needs and because of you I KNOW that i am near as dam it there :T:D

Mr W and i are absolutely skint at the mo, short time for him and no car (failed MOT no money for repairs:() for me so only doing half my shifts:eek:

Just wanted to say sorry I haven't been on much the last few days, life just got in the way and I haven't had the head space for other stuff. Hoping to catch up with all the goings on soon, looks like you're going strong so far though!
