    i just make up normal pancakes.(if i'm lazy then i use the tesco value 11p pancakes mix) then i stuff with anything i fancy. (or have in cupboards) baked beans in great put a spoonful in , roll up pancake put grated cheese on top and bake in oven till golden serve with jacket spud. or i fry in pan mushrooms , peppers, beansprouts , onion , spring onions , peas , sweetcorn ( again anything reall) again put in pancake roll up. but i make a cheese sauce pour over so just covering the pancakes and then add bit more grated cheese and cook. i will serve this with new pots , jacket or rice.

    Boiled egg and soldiers, or boiled egg and buttered bread chopped up into smallish pieces and all mashed together. Good comfort food.
    Risotto - takes quite a long time to cook, but yummy and filling and pretty cheap, good for using up odds and ends of veg, meat etc.
    Pasta and pesto.
    Roast chicken - then keep the leftover meat for lunches/risotto/stirfry, boil up the carcass for stock etc. Works out cheap on a per-meal basis even if you use a nice free range or organic chicken. Chuck a couple of carrots in the roasting tin and they come out absolutely gorgeous.
