Ready Steady Cook!

BWZN93

Hello!

Tonights Home Made Pizza's went down a storm (Boyf said "i'll eat these all the time now" - High Praise Indeed - and all thanks to those that replied to my earlier thread!)

Anyway - Just thinking about tomorrows dinner, and felt that since you guys are all so much more knowledgeable, id let you know the rest of whats left in the fridge and you can help me figure out a suitable recipe for them, ready, steady, cook style......

So:

Mini Chicken Fillets
A tomato
Bacon medallions (those things trimmed of fat)
Eggs
Milk
Pepperoni slices
half pack of Cheddar cheese
Half a Mozzarella ball thingy
Packet of 'white sauce' (not nice, but must be used...)
Chestnut mushrooms
Half a wilting lettuce
3/4 of a red onion
a lemon

and the Sundries :
Salt
Self raising flour
pepper
margerine
bread
various herbs and spices
A jar of Gherkins Yuk
A jar of chillies, again yuk yuk yuk


Anyhoo - I was thinking Chicken, Bacon and Mushrooms combined in a white sauce and/or cheeses and put into home made ravioli. I have never made pasta before, and am willing to try. My boyf's suggestion was a bit more boring - Chicken Sandwiches, with lettuce, tomato, gherkin and chilli - and the obligatory jar of Mayo he has with everything, but theres got to be something else!

So - If you can help with formulating the chicken pasta thingy recipe, or can give me a better suggestion - go for it!

Edited: Spelling, and forgot herbs.........

What about,

Butterfly the chicken and cook it in the oven with a little oil on it, should take about 20 mins or so depending on the thinkness of it.

Make the white sauce mix, add some of the cheese to make it cheesy.

Boil up some pasta so it is done about 10 mins before the chicken.
Cut up the bacon into small bits and fry that with the mushroom quickly, then add to the pasta in a bowl.

Dice the tomato and add to the pasta.
Then serve the chicken with a bacon pasta salad type thing and a cheesy sauce to go over the top.

For afters if you have plain flour you could do pancakes to use up the lemmon.

I have 5 oranges, 2 kiwi fruit, 1 pear and a punnet of blueberries that are past their best but still usable. I was thinking of stewing the pear and giving it to my DS with blueberry compote for his pud, but that still leaves me with the oranges and the kiwi...

Any ideas gratefully received!

you can use the oranges in a stir fry. Segment them as you would for fruit salad (taking all the semi-opaque skin off leaving just the inner fruit). This goes lovely with chicken (or turkey), some cashew nuts, some peppers and add a dash of cornflour to some orange juice (squeeze one of the oranges) and use this as your sauce. Serve with either noodles or rice.

all can be used in a smoothie

Trow

Chocolate fondue of course!

Melt chocolate and mix with some cream/evap milk/tip top or similar.

Segment the oragnes and chop the kiwi so they are still chunky. Dip using a fork into the bowl (or cup) of chocolate.

Kiwi and orange are my FAVE fondue fruits.

Slobber...!

Oh YUM! I love chocolatey fruit! I'm going to attempt the fondue on Friday, which is treat night chez moi! The stir-fry sounds fantastic as well (and healthy), so that's going to get tried out this week, too. DH is not a great fruit eater although he does like most fruit. Great way to up the intake. It's the smoothie tonight, due to the constraints of what I have in my kitchen cupboards. I'm going to make it a very thick one though, with lots of yoghurt and serve it as a pud. I still have too much orange left over so the plan is to juice it and then add it to DS and mine porridge tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone!

I always meal plan but have the urge to try something new today. Was going to make lasagne but am a bit bored of that. Plus i've been a bit slack with meals this week so DH deserves something nice! So main ingredients avaliable are.... minced beef, passata, mozzarella, cheddar, pasta, got a little bit of pepperoni left and pleanty of other basic store cupboard ingredients. Am thinking perhaps some meatball-y pasta-y type thing, but i'm not very adventurous in the kitchen so not sure where to start Any ideas??

Would HM pizza be any use? Do you have dough making materials?

or HM burgers?

Pasta bake ropped with cheese?

Chilli?

Spag bol?
