Cherry takes the reins

24 tins of beans, and a coconut macaroon recipe.

HTH

That macaroon mix tastes yummy! :rotfl:

I like the raw mix too, and they don't stick to the baking paper like the ones with milk in do. It was off the back of a coconut packet from the co-op years ago. Funny how some of the best recipes come out of things like that.

Yep, my spiced bread pudding recipe came from inside an egg box while I was student.

The macaroons taste as good as the raw mix!

Are you following XSpender's thread about using up food? That's a double freezer list - very impressive!

I haven't read it yet. DH is back at work tomorrow night so i will give it a read. I've missed reading diaries properly while he has been off.

I'm laid on the bed as I haven't even got the energy to walk downstairs. I've just read through xspenders thread over on OS. That's exactly what I need to do but won't be anywhere near as exciting with nuggets and waffles.
Thank you for the recommendation.

I don't think I ever follow a recipe. Especially not for soup I just chop whatever looks sad in the veg drawer along with 1 veg and 1 chicken stock pot/cube. Top up with water and boil till soft. Blend and add salt and pepper. No 2 ever taste the same :rotfl:

Apple sauce should work in the banana bread if it looks like it needs something else OBL.

I'm really bad at just making it up :rotfl:

Doh I didn think of apple,I have one here too,I didnt end up making it though but will do it tomorrow instead
Im loving that people have shortend my name to OBL,I sound like a star wars character

I have those to use up too, my boys see them as major treat which amuses me. I have a bad habit of chucking a bag of each in every month when I go to the big supermarket so these things stack up. They love the value mixed veg too - but the trick with that is to keep the empty butter tub, drain the veg and then shake it in the tub to get a thin coating on everything.

DD2 lives on them. I know thats really bad but she has a lot of food problems and it seems to be the only potato product she will eat along with extremely crispy fries. All the others do have a healthyish diet. She just doesn't eat anything else.

We only buy the bags of value veg, use a bag at each meal (7 of us). I would rather pie on the veg than mash/meat.

We get through half to three quarters of a bag of frozen veg each meal too!

Re banana bread, we chop up 3 oz of sultanas and 3oz of dried apricots and add to the ingredients. Only trouble is, it's demolished so quickly:rotfl:
