Re: What's for Supper?
Last night I cooked chicken pasta.
I just concocted together the dish out of the stuff I had in the house and it was pretty good. So I cooked and drained enough macaroni for about 6 people. While I was doing that I fried some onions and 2 cloves of garlic and browned off the chicken, I also added some fresh parsley that I had in the fridge.
I put the pasta into a baking dish and poured a jar of 3 or 4 cheese pasta sauce over it and then stired it up. Then I topped it with the chicken and onions. Then I poured over some white sauce (mixed up from a packet). Then I smothered the lot with cheese, baked it in the oven, dished it up and then we all pigged out.
Something dead quick, dead easy and dead tasty for when you really don't feel like cooking.

We do chicken lasagne 
replace the mince with chicken and add veg (broc, carrots and peas)
put cheese and bacon sauce on top and grate some extra cheese over to taste.
Kids love it and i get them eating extra veg as well
Made sainsburys meal for £5 last night, cost me less than a £5
Meatballs..yum yum

Re: What's for Supper?
Try this if you like corned beef hash. Its called panacklety (no idea how to spell it) and its from the northeast of England.
Slice some onions and fry them in a big frying pan. When soft put some sliced potatoes in a layer on top. Cover with water with a stock cube- or bisto - added - and salt and pepper- and then simmer with lid on till cooked. When spuds are soft put the corned beef on top in slices to make another layer. Put the pan lid on and let the corned beef heat through. Don't stir else its all a mess. Tastes good but its a mess.
My mum used to layer everything in an ovendish and bake it. An aunt used to add bacon, but that just tastes wrong to me.

Re: What's for Supper?
yeah ill take the lemon pie 
One thing i was always told when baking is use the hands, doesnt matter how messy it gets, so far everything turns out good.
i only use measures when i bake, everything else i do is a bit of this and that
We are naughty with the kids, carrots are for seeing in the dark, others are trees to make you grow big and strong etc etc.
My eldest got brought up with a childminder who bought everything in packets and freezer, she is hard work and refuses to eat, but we are getting there slowly, my other 2 was brought up with me at home and totally love there food, ive made it fun and is slowly rubbing off on the oldest
But she still wont eat beetroot, my other 2 have had ham and beetroot buttys for dinner, my eldest just ham

Re: What's for Supper?
I love my cooking for the rushed potatoes...
Spuds - many as you like...
Cut into £1 coin thickness - par boil till aldente (or put in dish raw for thicker sauce)
Add anything else you like - fried onions, mushrooms...etc.
Tin Campbells condensed soup - mushroom.
Mix all together in bowl or casserole dish
Cook - either Microwave or oven till spuds cooked...
I've just experimented with making sausage rolls with Mustard or sweet chilli sauce inside too - will comment on result later.

Re: What's for Supper?
That sounds like us too ann, although hubby can be a bit of a fussy child aswell sometimes.
The only meal we can all eat without anyone moaning is Shepherds pie, so i'm happier cooking in winter rather than summer. We're also partial to a nice Roast aswell.
I use the slow cooker alot also but mainly for various mince dishes. I'm not as adventurous a cook as i'd like to be because i know i'll end up throwing half of it away. My kids are quite young still so wouldn't appreciate anything too fancy.
I get really fed up with what to cook for dinner day in day out, you ladies with OH's who cook are soooo lucky.
