Big pot of chilli con carne, bulked up with kidney beans and veg.

Serve with rice and cheese, and leftovers are great in wraps.


Tray bake of sausages or chicken thighs, chopped potatoes, onions and tomatoes. Bake it all in the same tray drizzled with some olive oil.


Breakfast for dinner is always fun, eggs, beans, toast, bacon etc.


Fish fingers and homemade potato wedges.


If all else fails, pop some frozen pizzas in the oven.

My teenage grandson loves Thai Green Curry - made with chicken. He makes this himself and does enough for 2 days. When his Mum had to go away for a couple of nights- he made a big chicken curry and invited all his friends round to watch the Euros. Not bad for a 17 year old.
Huge quantities of milk, toast, butter, baked beans (baked beans on toast that they can help themselves to). Batch cooking of chilli con carne, spaghetti bolognese etc (can make in advance and freeze). Lots of fruit and veg to snack on. Jacket potatoes with assorted fillings

Thank you all for your suggestions, it?s day 2 and so far they?ve gone through:


Jacket potatoes with tuna and sweet corn and baked beans and salad

Chilli con carne and rice

A whole roast chicken, shredded and made into a salad with avocado, lettuce, broccoli and green beans

A million slices of toast

A whole 750g tub of Nutella

Enough milk to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool

Peach crumble where I used up 5 tins of peaches

A family sized punnet of grapes

Endless sandwiches

A massive packet of biscuits


Tomorrow we are opening the weetabix. I optimistically bought 3 packets thinking it would last the week, but seeing how things are I expect it to last 1 breakfast.


I?ve no idea how they do it, and they are as skinny as rales.

Yes, just typical teenagers :) Thanks for the update Roundtable.

Fajita kits are also good as they can make this themselves quite easily, I would suggest 2 packs and more chicken, peppers and onions than it says on the packets.Wraps are useful to stuff salad and any leftovers in for lunch the following day.

    • Yawn.. as I and others suspected the noticeboard is already looking shabby, has the details of local councillors who in my experience are of very limited help with anything at all (e.g. noticeboard took several years of writing to get back in working order and now isn't being kept up to date with any useful local info about food banks or any services as promised). So nothing at all in left hand side. Pointless and a real shame as could benefit so many small businesses.. and no I don't own a small business I just believe in supporting shopping locally where possible and know they often have little to no marketing budget.
