    I used a can of butter beans in my sausage casserole a couple of days ago, it was a packet mix which said use baked beans but as I didn't have any I used the butter beans instead.

    Well i am starting small seeing as i am a newbie. I made use of the pasta that we didn't finish yesterday, just reheated it, although i'm not sure if you should really reheat pasta ( i have a strong stomach!) and melted some cheese on top. All i'll say is thank goodness for cheese. However, normally that would go in the fridge with the best intentions and then get thrown out!

    Some great recepies by the way everyone and i will reading through more of this thread for more ideas. Thank you.

    Actually i was just looking at the recepies and it got me thinking, is there are staple products i should make sure i always have in so that i know i can always make a meal with it? Sorry if that sounds really dumb, but i've never really thought about food in this way before.

    I know that its probably a good idea to have pasta, rice and potatoes in but am a bit lost after that. If anyone could point me to a thread or give me some pointers that would be great.

    Hi peeps

    I have 4 carrot & corriander muffins that I made today, however, I forgot to add sugar to the mixture, hence the muffins don't taste right, any suggestions what I can do with them?

    When I make a pasta dish with the chesse I make a double portion, once it cooked and cooled I freeze half, and just reheat it as and when required.

    Muffin-y bread & butter pudding maybe? Might work as you can add the sugar you forgot in the recipe that way! Otherwise make up some kind of lemon frosting or icy and drizzle over them - should be sweet enough to make the difference.

    This is a really good idea!!
    I have no idea what it will be like but today I threw some chicken, a miniature bottle sherry, 2 chicken stock cubes, 1/2 pack cherry tomatoes, some pearl barley and tarragon into slow cooker. Freezing it now in 3 portions.

    But the chicken, tomatoe and tarragon were all going to end up being thrown out....
    Dream of being mortgage free....

    Thx Essex although I don't like icing / frosting, so I'll see what other idea's pop up.

    Cheers :A
