Have you ever done a pasta bake using a tomato sauce and bacon? Well neither have i but thats what me and my son are having for our evening meal tonight (I'm still going through the odds and ends in the freezer).
My son likes pasta, he likes a tomato based sauce and he likes bacon (but i'm not sure he will like them all together).
Yes,I have. Often add onion, mushrooms, leeks, diced carrot, courgette, etc according what I've got to use up. With a bit of grated cheese on top and browned under the grill it's lovely.0 -
ive got some onion i could do with using up. I'll bung that in too (never thought of the onion).This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

I have started decluttering, but the real work wont get done until after next weekend, when I have a week off.

Hi, can i please join in. i haven't managed to read the whole board yet but i am trying to skim it lol.
I seriously need to sort the house out. I usually manage to get the downstairs sorted then just leave my bedroom cause i'm too exhausted then by the time i have my strength back the downstairs needs redoing!!!!
This weekend i plan on starting on my room, throwing everything i can and selling other stuff. If i have a place i can go to escape the mess i think i'll find it easier to clean and keep the house clean.Sealed Pot Challenge member #071 VSP #4
