You can use up your muesli with some porridge oats and syrup and turn them into cereal bars.


Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 20 mins



Ingredients

• 2 cups of your favorite muesli
• 1 cup almond flour (or other flour)
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp honey (or syrup)
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine muesli, flour, salt, and baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk and honey.
3. Add the wet mix to the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly.
4. Pack the mix tightly into an 8×8 nonstick pan and bake for approximately 12 minutes.
5. Remove and let cool completely, then cut into bars and enjoy.

Tootoo, can you add how many you are feeding please? I think its 2 adults and 2 kids (from your other thread) but not sure.

thank you for your help.

The first item I see is your portion of stewing steak and your sausages. Brown the sausages and slice them and put them in with the steak to slow cook, then put into an oven proof dish with a little stock/gravy and top with the parboiled sliced potatoes and brush with a little milk, cook in the oven till golden and cooked through. Serve with some veg.


Your cereal bars.


Spaghetti hoops on toast make a great lunch if its just you and the kids. Sandwiches or small portions of hot meals can be kept for when you or your OH is working (as a packed lunch).

What about 2 chicken breasts, peppers, any other veg, your egg noodles and any packet stir fry sauce (or just a good glug of soy sauce, or if you don't have any in use a tbsp. of ketchup and a pinch of sugar when you stir fry your chicken, this is szcheuan tomato chicken). That would be enough for 2 adults and 2 little ones.

thank you uni.

I should add I have lots of spices and baking stuff.

I've got one chicken fillet out for tonight to make fajitas with (had wraps in freezer).
Planning on pizza tomorrow with flour etc and pepperoni.

Sounds perfect Tootoo. I used to love making homemade pizza but my joints aren't up to doing dough now (saving my clubcard points to get a breadmaker which will mix the dough for me).

The sausages I would chop up and use in a toad in the hole

The stew steak I would split in half and do stew with a yorkshire pud or dumplings and the other half would get used to do a meat and potatoe pie,both of which freeze well if you wanted to do them at the weekend and eat later in the week.

The fish portion I would add peas/sweetcorn, do a white or parsley sauce and bung mashed potatoe on to do a fish pie with.

The bacon or ham I would use in quich or pasta cabanara

And for sweet stuff, seeing as you'v got oats,sugar,fruit and syrup is the famous Twinks, should be a link in the monthly shopping chalange thread in the recipe section.hth

I would do a curry. Fry some spices up, add some veg (carrots, onions, peppers), pour in some veg stock and coconut milk, let simmer until veg are cooked and serve with naan bread. For quicker version, grate carrot into the veg stock mix instead.

I would then make an apple crumble: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1161635/simple-and-easy-apple-crumble

Salsa can be used as a dip for your huge amounts of crisps.

You also have the ingredients on hand to make a quiche, where almost every item on your list can be chucked in (ham, cheese, veg, onions, potatoes etc.)

Good luck.

one of the dishes my mum does is chicken cooked in condensed chicken soup ~ I do a version with frying off some onion, garlic etc then throwing in some diced chicken pieces and brown these off. I add the chicken soup, watered down as much as needed with some black pepper and mixed herbs. Bring to boil then either simmer on hob, or cook in the oven until chicken cooked through. Mum serves here with rice, peas and sweetcorn. simple but tasty


Crumble sounds good, you potentially could pad that out with some of the muesli mix (I often add porridge oats to my crumble topping to make it go further)....could chuck some of the raisin with the apples for the base and some cinnamon or nutmeg if you have any
