What is in the cupboard?

In light of the forthcoming isolation I have emptied my cupboard onto the worktop to see what I've got in. Embarrassingly I've got loads of pasta and rice which I didn't know I had. Also some randoms if anyone can suggest a recipe - cocoa powder, maple syrup, boudoir bisciuts?, flour, sugar and few other staples. It's time to get inventive so we can avoid the shops when we need to.

    We're going to know a bit more of what you have. There are websites like this; https://myfridgefood.com/, where you can enter in your ingredients and it will give you some recipes.
    Filling meals are easy to make with rice, beans, pasta, and eggs.

    Just type your ingredients into your search bar, it will come up with some recipes.
    Do I need it or just want it.

    brownies of some kind - for when you need some comfort food ( sorry don't have any recipes)

    Why am I in this handcart and where are we going ?

    Boudoir biscuits = trifle! Put them in the bottom of a bowl, add tin of fruit if you have it, put custard on top, and bingo. (Hope your cupboard contents include tinned fruit and either tinned or packet instant custard?) Otherwise, soak biscuits in alcohol, add cream or thick yoghurt. Maple syrup for pancakes or generally as a sugar substitute.

    That's good idea but I think i'll need a recipe. Not great at baking.
