Shopping list
Cheese
Chopped tomatos
Tomatoe puree
Mushrooms
Onions
Some vegetables/salad of your choice to accompany some meals

• HM fishcakes (using tin of tuna and potatoes) and frozen chips
• Ham,onion and mushroom omellete with frozen chips
• Corned beef hash
• Chicken with egg noodles (cook the chicken with soy sauce for flavour)
• Cheesy bacon chicken with salad or veggies (cut open raw chicken breast, stuff with cheese and then wrap in bacon and then foil then cook)
• Spaghetti bolognese
• Seafood pasta bake (mix tin of tuna, chopped tomatos, little tomato puree, and some prawns in with cooked pasta, top with cheese and grill till its melted)
• Rice and bean salad? (mix some rice - maybe both types you have for variety - with the various tins of beans you have, some chopped spring onions and maybe add some veggie stock for a bit of flavour?)

Thats all i can think of for now.

Pizzas!
Seafood pizza. Homemade base which I imagine you have everything for, then a tin of tuna and some prawns.

We also put smoked salmon trimmings (about 1/5 pack so costing around 20p), mussels (the ones from asda which are 98p can be frozen and so I only use 1/5 of a pack and freeze the rest) and anchovies on mine but these aren't necessary. You'd only need to buy a tin of tomatoes and some cheese.

Or ham and pineapple pizza, or chicken/bacon and onion.

And chilli, with some rice, is calling out to me from your list.

Steak pie, chicken and bacon pasta (maybe with a lemon sauce or something), chicken pad thai (you'd need nam pla and beansprouts)

and cod cooked in cream (and maybe some wine) with potatoes and green beans and asparagus.

You could...

- 1 Chicken leg, broth mix and some noodles to make a chicken soup.
- Using lamb mince and lasagne sheets to make cannelloni.
- Egg and chips (YUM - sorry )
- Chicken breast and noodles to make chicken chow mein (and any left over veg.)
- Chicken legs and paella rice to make a baked chicken and rice one pot with some veg and stock and a tin of baked beans tipped in perhaps. I love this recipe of queen delias, sort of thinking of an improvised version of that.

HTH.

Moussaka with the lamb, you could top with aubergine or use a tattie hot pot type topping that works well too (guess who forgot to buy aubergines)?.
Prawns in a stir fry with the veg & use the noodles.
Tins of tuna to make salad Nicose (my favourite) & uses some of the eggs too.
