As many ideas as possible would be great. Reason all this as we have the money but all this needs to do as long as possible. The only rules are no mushrooms, no tomato, no lamb, nothing spicy as partner is allergic to tomatos and has ulcerative colitis. Thank you in advance for help.:T

    Have you tried mung dahl with the rice? Really cheap (if you have an asian supermarket near by) and yummy and doesn't take long to do and good for you :). Just bung it in with the rice. I use the yellow split stuff but the green stuff is also good. Just avoid brown/red lentils cos they're not as healthy and take forever to cook...

    But rice and lentils is good cheap healthy stodge (and if it's not stodgy enough add some saver mayo)...

    Blessings and hugs...when ya coming back to FL?

    I can't remember the name of it but somebody one here posted a website where you can type in what ingredients you have and it will give you recipes that use those ingredients, maybe you could search it?

    As for those chicken breasts, we were dieting over the half term and a couple of times I rubbed chicken breasts with Jamaican jerk seasoning and then grilled them, delicious with a jacket potato and salad!
