Good idea stuffing them do often and always seem to have too much stuffing, sometimes orzo or cous cous for a change.

Using up some lamb mince I found in the freezer, mixed with herbs and squashed into a log shape, wrapped in foil to make a doneresque kebab, finely sliced with the last of the salad in wraps with garlic mayo.

I used to do this, think I found recipe on here about 15 yrs ago, cooked in SC I expect could do similar in AF now-a-days. Was very tasty and could slice and freeze for another time. Good luck. x2

light supper tonight - OH has a picnic pie (like a pork pie but with ham and chicken in it too) and I've got a pasty and we'll have salad as well. Pasty will hopefully be very nice. It's an excess from the food bank and it was bin or take away. They come from a posh bakery and apparently sell for £6 each so I'm hoping it will be very good. Only concern is whether to heat it or not.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

@Islandmaid we do pretty good HM celeriac oven chips. Don't have a chip pan and never have had one. Iceland has Slimming World sweet potato oven chips, which are just sweet potatoes and salt.
The resistant starch idea might work in a lab but didn't work for me, in our kitchen. Sweet potatoes, beans (but not baked beans) and gluten free pasta made from chick peas, do slow my blood glucose rises. As does cheese and copious amounts of butter. 😉
Fish tonight. Wild caught sea bass fillets, from the English Channel, landed at Folkestone, wrapped in a foil parcel with lemon slices and fresh dill. Mediterranean style vegetables cooked in the oven, with a small amount of organic sweetcorn mixed in.5 -
Just had a pitta bread with a scraping of hummus and lots of salad as I'm off to bed early in order to get up early and see the results.4

Raining here, but at least the news is bright…..
We’re having Chinese crispy duck and pancakes, mine will be lettuce wraps, from Marks. I don’t normally cook on a Friday but we’re out for a friend’s birthday tomorrow night at a very nice restaurant.Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

When leg of lamb was half price at Easter I bought one and cut it into three small roasting joints, freezing two.
This week I did a lamb pot roast for Sunday, and we have had lamb in various guises all week.
Tonight it will be Suleiman’s Pilaff, from The Pauper’s Cookbook by Jocasta Innes, with plenty of vegetables, and just a little rice.
We have some cherries from the tree overhanging the garden for pudding, with the owners’ permission.3 -
gammon steaks with eggs and chips or croquette potatoes.
