    the chicken with red wine maybe doable :think: well i like red wine and chicken

    i'll eat tomato based sauce like bolognaise (minus the meat :o) normally have it with peppers and musrhooms and spaghetti or k

    i'm going to give roasted peppers ago... i like peppers so they're not going to taste any different roasted...i hope :rotfl:

    You could try making a chicken lasagne then........just for a change from ordinary pasta. Roasted peppers are nice, why not try stuffing them with rice and other stuff <recipe needed for "other stuff>.

    I'm slowly but surely getting back to my OS ways. Have spent most the week cleaning the house and sorting it out to make it more managable. I plan to spend the weekend experimenting with baking cereal bars for OH and I for breakfasts.

    got an absolute bargain at waitrose when i went to get chips for dinner. They have an 8 pack of burgers and had a 2 for £7 offer (usually £4 each) well the burgers were reduced to 99p so i bought a pack from the freezer when the the lovely till lady told me the offer of saving £1 still stands on the reduced ones. so got 16 burgers for 98p!! good quality ones at that. So i've separated them into portions and frozen them :)

    You are all such a lovely lot! Not been too bad for us today - but DS2 probably about to be readmitted to MHU. He's in such a black downward spiral these days - threatened overdose earlier, but def just a cry for help. Anyway, loads of folk have just as much grief to battle, don't they?
    Need to get my brain back into real OS mode again next week - sometimes it's easier to just go with the flow for a wee while, but I will get back on the bandwagon, I promise! Thanks again for the support.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
