Tonights dinner

Weeyin

It's few days till pay day and i have hardly any food left. I'm also completely skunnered with my cooking, it's all getting a bit samey.

Any ideas for a tasty meal that's easy on the purse?

Hello Weeyin. If you can give us some idea of what you've got in the house I'm sure people will be able to come up with some ideas for you - there's some amazingly creative people on the OS board!

Mashed potatoes with chicken soup.
Mashed potatoes with gravy.
Mashed potatoes with seafood sauce.
Mashed potatoes with mayonnaise.
Mashed potatoes in a bowl.

You can tell I've had the need to economise in the past can't you? All I had was one of those big sacks of potatoes. :rotfl:

You know what...I think I was happier in my poorer days too.

The link only goes to the shopping page not recipes.

Try playing a bit - get your normal ingredients and add a few different storecupboard things, a few different spices etc, maybe use a soup as a base.

I have lot's of pasta, rice, haricot beans and tinned tomatoes. I also have some herbs in the garden.

I had a look at Jamie Olivers website and there are some fab recipies (really fancy the green pork chilli), but they seem to be for 6+ people. Think i'll rope the OH into the 'sunday cook-off' and make up a few recipies that are freezable.

I also tired making a tray-bake sausage dinner last night, was really tasty and cheap and was next to no effort - the kinda cooking i like after work.
