• also at least 8 portions extra of potato and onion soup with 4 slices of bread again, will test and confirm as soon as I can, unless anyone else can do a soup test, sian?;)

We have lots of potatoes and onions, give me some parameters and I will be on it!

your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make the following go as far as you can :rotfl:

you can do a half batch if you like

Mr Frankie's soup

800g onions
400g potatoes (washed not peeled)
1 stock cube
garlic, s and p
chilli/garam if you fancy!
60g bacon cut into titchy pieces and fried with the onion

Problems I have encountered so far (problems is probably the wrong word but I couldn't think of another one)

DD3(11)
Don't put peanut butter on my sandwich, I don't like it

DD1(16)
We don't get to choose our breakfast and lunch? I thought it was just evening meals.

I'm wondering if the toast toppers/sandwich fillers can be used as and when? Maybe the breakfasts as well, depending on who prefers what.
I don't want to mess you up weezl so if you'd rather I said 'you'll eat what you given or starve' I'm happy to go down that route

I'm also thinking that I'm going to need to do batch cooking on another day as well, cause there is quite alot to do.

What do those of you who work outside of the house do now for you baking/batch cooking?

No Weezl-I am eating the porridge!!!:eek:

I dislike most breakfast foods apart from the unhealthy ones which means I eat rubbish in the morning and I'm never full till lunchtime. Therefore I think I need to 'get over' this dislike, its much healthier for me and I cant go through life not eating stuff in the morning.

Lol its a personal challenge at the mo:o

Im weird I know:rotfl:

Weezl, if you post the breakfast bar recipe i might have chance to test later today if that would help

The aims post is great

ok, just my thoughts:

DD3, would you try a little mouthful on some toast and then decide, because this one is made with quite different stuff to normal peanut butter? Do you like oranges? And would an orangy morning toast topper work? ;D thank you for trying our food

DD1- Hi It's fine with me for people to eat things in whichever order they fancy, the only thing is that some people will think the plan is less healthy then cos all the right vitamins and minerals might not be in your food every day, does that make sense?

Love from Mrs Weezl the mad lady your mum is friends with xxx

frankie, I agree about the batch cooking, even with a family of 4, and you've got 6!!!!

When I was full-time, batch cooking was a weekend activity. Get to asda at 8.30, do shop, spend a happy kitchen day. Watch a film in the evening, let dishwasher take the strain

without is just fine sian you might need a little fat to fry the onion in tho... any lard/oil left?

xx

Howlin have you got any ready brek in? I may take you up on your idea

frankie, I'm going to have a nap this afternoon as fergie is at his CMs, but I'll wait til your loaves are done, cos then I'll know I've not abandoned you in hour of need

FrankieM

weezl My loaves are all done bar the baking. I'll be putting them in the oven once my carrot cake is done, so please feel free to have your nap when you need it.
I'll post to let you know how they turn out.

FrankieM

Has anyone made the savoury bites?

I was wondering the chickpeas need to be crushed and if the lard needs to be melted?
