    Measuring cups.  Got some stainless steel ones earlier this year from Sainsbury's.  Only drawback is you can't put them in a dishwasher.  I'm guessing this has something to do with the weld between the handle and the cup.

    I put mine in the dishwasher and they've been fine.  I've had them years now although I think they were from Lakeland not Sainsbury.

    To answer your original question, there's a huge recipe index at the start of each month's Grocery Challenge, which includes links to several other MSE recipe index.  The monthly grocery challenges are pinned to the top of the Old Style board.

    My fave sweet treat at the moment is a ginger biscuit with a blob of cream cheese spread on top, then a bit of jam on top of that.  Its my cheats cheese cake and is about 75 calories, depending on how much cream cheese you like.  It all started when I bought the ingredients for cheesecake and couldn't be bothered.  We started off using digestives but I much prefer the ginger nuts now.
