Sadie - pasta n sauce, chilli with Quorn (make a big batch and freeze the rest for another few meals), spag bol with quorn, jacket potato with Quorn coronation sauce (see a pattern emerging here?! :rotfl:) Pack of savoury rice with either quorn of a HEB of chicken/other meat

You can still have your meat (weighed) with loads of mixed/any veg and mash/new pots/chips. Pork Loins seem to be going cheap most places at the mo but I find them a bit tasteless unless casseroled in the SC.

Hi Saiejp

A friend of mine said she used to make up a packet of batchelors savoury rice, but add frozen mushrooms, sweetcorn, peas, peppers to it whilst it was cooking to bulk it out and serve it with quorn pieces, either mixed in or sometimes just on the side. A bag of qourn pieces costs about £2 but she said it would last 2/3 meals.......

I haven't tried it yet but it sounds good to me:)

are all flavours of the batchelors pasta and sauce free?

whenever i try quorn mince my OH complains about how it tastes.. even if i cheat and dont tell him i've used it " yuk.. this bolognaise tastes like fungus" the first time we had it and i hadnt even told him. But like the idea of using it because i can still munch my way through lots of pasta and my fav rice.

Ah well.. will keep at it, i guess at some point he will give up moaning or just get used to it

No, two aren't - I think its the macaroni cheese and the ham and mushroom? Someone will clarify for me!

How about cooking trying batch cooking, make up two big batches one qourn the other normal mince.....then freeze them in portion sizes, that way all you will have to do is pull out one of each to defrost and re-heat whilst cooking up the pasta...

It may seem like a bit of a faff at first but it makes life so easy when it comes to dinner time. Oh just make sure you label them clearly so they don't get mixed up;)

I use my slow cooker and make up a huuuuuge batch of sauce with the ordinary lean mince lamb500g, tinned toms, passata, loads of veg, garlic and herbs some veg stock. It makes enough for 4 meals for the 4 of us and I worked it out to 40 Syns in total, divide by 4 batches = 10 Syns and then served between the equivalent of 3 Adults is 3.5 Syns per serving......
Not bad is it......

My OH is the same Coco. Won't eat it at all, so I have to use real meat as an HEB or no meat at all (he doesn't mind as he loves pasta).

Just checked, and yes, it's the cheese, leek and ham and the macaroni cheese Pasta and Sauce that aren't free.

Been to the dentist and had one side injected and scaled, going back next week for the other side Was going to have a green day as we are having chilli and rice for dinner, but didn't feel like cooking pasta, so bought a ready cooked chicken and had some of that for lunch.

Can someone just clarify, I'm not allowed rice on a red day am I ?
