    Last night i made a one man portion of potato pie. Layer of mash mixed with mustard, layer of baked beans, layer of cheese, and layer of cooked bacon. Bacon all crisped up after being in the oven about 10 mins. Yummy and really filling!

    Other can't be bothered dinners are Bread pizzas made from two slices HM bread (baked beans juice, meat from freezer - ham/chorizo/beef, and cheese - baked in oven for 10 mins)

    Egg and soldiers (can't lose with this one)

    Toasted cheese with poached eggs

    All the others have been mentioned already !

    most of my dinners are premade from the freezer so just need reheated and rice/pasta etc added . Even making up pasta sauce is great with some bacon in (if you choose) , then just needs thrown over cooked pasta, grated some cheese and micro for two mins.! Delish.

    Toast and peanut butter, pasta and pesto, pizza bunged in the oven with whatever's leftover in the fridge to use up on top.

    Hubby LOVES 'catch' teas as he calls them (catch them yourself his mum used to say) but since we have a little one l'm used to making something with veg every night but it's so nice to have an easy tea!


    Happy moneysaving all.

    I wouldn;'t say there are any saints here, don't worry! I am getting into the habit of Sunday takeaway if I have money left from going out..... However with takeawaypizza I really now struggle with buying it and paying £12 for a pizza - as I know I have all the materials to hand and could manage some sort of pizza concoction in the oven within ten minutes. So I think it has ruined takeaway pizza for me! I think I would literally choke . It's quite a shame really *but my pocket doesn't think so* :o:rotfl:

    Alpine Eggs

    Butter an oven proof dish, put in a good helping of grated cheese. Break 2 or 3 Eggs individually into a cup and slide gently on top the cheese. Put another big helping of grated cheese on top of eggs covering them. Season and sprinkle with some Chives and also dot with butter. Bake in oven for 15 mins. Lovely with some crusty bread.
    Just trying these now, look delicious!:j


    Oh my lovliness! Gorgeous!

    beans on toast every time lol
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last
  • thats always my pre going to pub to work and anything i can whip up will do meal!
    always try and ad some healthy salad veg and sprinkle on some seeds for some healthy omega oils!
    today was jacket swedish meatballs and chilli sauce, with watercress and peppers,
    but some days may just be beans or sardines on toast or bowl of noodles with smoked sausage!
    but always keep some salad and some healthy sprinkly things in cupboard they work wonders to an otherwise rubbish meal!!!
