    Claire, you can bulk it out with mushrooms, gratted carrots and some people on the OS board use oats.

    If you've got some tinned tomatoes nad a blender, you can whiz them together to make a rather yummy sauce.

    On the back of my lasagne sheets it has a recipe which I follow and is rather delicious. The worst part is the bechemle sauce as it can go lumpy. Cx

    making some chicken stock at the moment and roasting all the pieces off in the oven. It was the whole chicken I demonstrated how to joint in class the week before last - no point in wasting it so I popped it in the freezer when I got home ;)

    Just don't forget to check whether it needs soaking overnight.

    Porridge oats I think. That's what I thought too.:eek::eek:

    Those beans will probably need soaking overnight Claire. Also if you've got any tomatoes in the fridge that are slightly going, roast them off in the oven, then blend them and add teh cooked beans - a yummy soup.

    Elfen, pizza sounds much more exciting than my prawn stir fry!
