April 2013 Grocery Challenge

I was given 36 bantam eggs, so probably equivalent to 18 medium eggs. I need ideas for ways to use them up!

Tonight's tea was Broccoli and macaroni cheese. The sauce could have been thicker, but was nice all the same.
£2.88 spend in C*-*p on pizza for DD ( which she didn't like, as i didn't realise it had a salsa style topping) , and some milk. Hopefully NSD tomorrow.

Coxy11 Thanks for your advice and so sorry to hear about your meal disaster this evening!

Have started listing all the food in the house. I reckon if there was a Zombie Apocalypse we could last a good couple of months. Meal plan:

Tonight - soup and rolls lo from yesterday, cake also lo
Thursday - Baked potatoes with sour cream/chives and veggie sausages, salad
Friday -Rice with quorn and veg
Saturday - Pittas with houmous and falafel
Sunday -veg roast

Anyone any ideas to use up cherry tomatoes?

Sig updated. Small spend in Mr T and £24 .95 in Lidl. On target this month. Besides the moneysaving the best thing to come out of the GC is that I am enjoying cooking from scratch again instead of seeing it as a chore.
