I love reading through these posts as it gives me so much inspiration.

I am running the freezer down at the moment and so we will be having:

M: Gammon & Mustard Mash & carrots
T: Chicken Pie & Mushy Peas
W: Omlettes with onions/peppers etc
T: Veggie Pasta Bake
F: Home-made fish cakes, potato wedges and mushy peas.

Got all this stuff in, and so minimum spend

Sure no problem

2 oz butter
2 fl oz honey
1 lb 1 oz porridge oats
6 oz nuts (I used almonds and pecans)
3 1/2 oz seeds (I used pumpkin and sunflower seeds)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
5 1/2 oz raisins
3 1/2 oz crunchy peanut butter
4 1/2 fl oz golden syrup
2 1/2 oz light brown sugar

Mix together the nuts, seeds, cinnamon and raisins. Meanwhile melt the butter and honey together. Pour over the dry ingredients and bake until golden brown (don't allow to burn).

Then melt the peanut butter, golden syrup and sugar together. Mix well with the granola. Press into a lined tray and cool until set. Cut into slices.

Let me know how you get on with it.
