we did jacket potato with cheese and made some prawn salad last week, may have to have it again.

Need to fob my parsnips off on someone (urgh)

OOOH also making a carrot cake

ooohh Can I have the recipe for the carrot cake?

Just noticed I have an abundance of carrots

It's a MN recipe, from yonks ago

125g self raising flour
pinch salt
1 tsp cinnamon
125g soft brown sugar
2 eggs
100 ml sunflower oil
125g grated carrot
25g desiccated coconut
25g chopped walnuts

Sieve flour, salt and cinnamon in bowl. Stir in brown sugar. Add eggs and oil and mix well. Stir in carrot, coconut and walnuts. Pour mixture into 8" tin and bake at 180C for 20-25 mins until firm to touch.

Cheese frosting -
50g butter,
50g full fat soft cheese,
225g icing sugar,
1 tsp lemon juice.

Beat all together until fluffy and creamy. Decorate with icing and walnut halves.

I tend to use phili light and not full fat soft cheese. I also substitute sultanas for the nuts, and use olive oil instead of sunflower oil (not sure of the pros and cons for this, but we never have sunflower oil in the house!)

I made meatballs in tomato sauce yesterday and it was meant to do for today aswell but the dc turned their noses up at the meat balls even though they ate them yesterday, so will have to take them out (throw them in a curry sauce for dh) and do pasta bake with the left over tomato sauce and add some veg for tonight.
One day chicken curry and basmati rice, one day fish baked in the oven with veg then I hope to get some more inspiration ... have to use cupboard stuff too as I've over spent this month.
