Poverty Meal

Posted by Malriah  

Fantastic meal for just before pay day! You can get away with using less than 1lb of beef - I made earlier with about 3/4lb (quantities of other ingredients unchanged) and it was lovely. Only thing I did differently was, as I made in advance and... — scimietta99 Nov 14, 2009

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I had some squash in which I cubed and added with the courgette and red pepper. It really bulked it out and we ended up with 4 very generous servings - all still got eaten tho. I didn't use more than 1 cup of the stock... — scimietta99 Aug 24, 2009

Last time I ate this was at the Sharrow Bay Hotel (founded by John Tovey) looking out over Lake Ullswater. John himself came round with the breadrolls. An evening, even after all these years, I will not forget. The pudding however tasted just the... — scimietta99 Dec 13, 2008

We just loved this recipe - when the kids knew it contained chocolate they were convinced and asked for seconds lol. Have never used chocolate in a chilli and it gave a wonderful flavour. It is a good dish to 'bulk' out by adding extra veggies or... — scimietta99 Dec 13, 2008

Really enjoyed this. Simple and tasty. I made a half batch and found it needed slightly more than the stock indicated. (could be down to me not making the full amount). You can get away without using the oil too - I just steamed my peppers and... — scimietta99 Dec 12, 2008

Lebanese Lentil Salad

Posted by Mindy Stillion  

oh, I loved this salad. I prepared the dressing separately and only added what I needed which was probably about half. It needs lots of freshly ground black pepper. I used green lentils and it was so nice even though I only had about 4oz of feta.... — scimietta99 Dec 7, 2008

Pork and Prawn Stir Fry

Posted by JoyfulCook  

The flavour of this was good and I would give it more stars if only it had been easier to understand the instructions. They were a bit back to front and maybe need editing a little. We liked it and, even though i didn't use prawns, it still... — scimietta99 Oct 19, 2008

Granny's Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chili

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sharon123  

I made this a while ago and forgot to rate it. Pulling out one of the last portions from the freezer has prompted me to rate it and I add that if freezes very well. I doubled up and the consistency was great. I couldn't find the black beans in... — scimietta99 Oct 3, 2008

Mamaw's Potato Stuff
