Bit of help please

Well yesterday I broke my collarbone at work so it's ssp for me for a while. So things are going to be a bit tight. What I need are some filling but cheap meal ideas to last us through. There's three of us to feed aswell as packed lunches. Hope you guys can help.

the best way to start is to look at what youve got in and use everything up.

If you like you can post up whats in your fridge & freezer & cupbaords and we can suggest what can be made for that?

Hope you get well soon

Sorry to hear about your injury... Hope you feel better soon.

Could you make soups for the packed lunches? Hearty and filling - could take in a flask...

Cheap and filling meals for me here mean:
Corned beef hash
Any kind of potato bake
Pasta + any sauce I fancy
Spaghetti Bolognese (maybe batch cook on a weekend and get someone to help with chopping/cooking??)
Chilli and rice

Am all out for now but will try to think of some more for you...

Get well soon!

Have you checked on the employment board if you're entitled to more than SSP, since it happened at work?

I hope you have a speedy recovery. The links Tiff has kindly pointed you towards should help in the meantime. What kind of food do you like?
