If I gave you this list

[nc4DaysLeft]

How would you use these items for all your meals etc over the next four days?

Bread
Potatoes
Carrots
Onions
Rice
Pasta
Tomato pasta sauce jar
Worcestershire sauce
Vegetable oil
Tinned sweetcorn
Tinned butter beans
Tin of evaporated milk
Frozen peas
Small block of cheddar
Stork margarine
Flour
Sugar
Golden syrup
Cocoa powder

This is everything in my cupboards and no money for any other ingredients until Monday. Doable? All I'm seeing so far is jacket potato and cheese, pasta and sauce, can't see anything I can bake with that.

Few ideas:

Carrot and onion 'hash brown' with butter bean mash.

Fritters with mashed butter beans and peas, sweet, carrot mixed in

Cheesy mash with onion gravy and peas

Bread and butter pudding using the evaporated milk

Cheese scones ?

Cheese on toast
Pasta with sweetcorn one day and onion/carrot the next.
Mash some potatoes mix with onion, beans/peas either serve as is or make into a potato cake, dust with a little flour and fry for a few minutes.

I’d make some soup out of the carrots, potatoes and onions. Could also do a curry with similar things if you have the spices or mix potatoes and beans. Do you have any rice or could you borrow some?

Casserole and dumplings

Home made pizzas

I’ve just remembered something my late mother used to do when there was no money left, it’s wash delicious.

Fry an onion in the margarine, add rice and water then bake it. That was in the 70’s when putting the oven on was prohibitively expensive.

Maybe do similar but cook in the hob and add some of the veg/beans and the Worcestershire sauce

Was delicious

Great ideas, thanks, so glad I posted this now. Didn't think of mashing butter beans (never really know what to do with them) could definitely make a big pot of soup, and yes I have got rice sorry I must have missed off the list, so can try a curry too. Thanks so much. Might try that onion and rice thing too

Cheese and onion potato cakes (like fish cakes but cheese) are nice. How many carrots and onions do you have? How many are you feeding?
No oats or breakfast cereal by any chance?

Glad you’ve got some good ideas now.

Jacket, pasta and sauce, veg curry and rice or just mixed veg in rice and cheese on toast

Breakfast: toast with syrup, or just buttered.
Lunch: carrot and potato soup (would be better if you had a stock cube). Use a little pasta sauce or pasatta and the cheese to make mini pizzas.
Dinners: pasta with sauce, maybe some cheese twice. Rice with sweetcorn and peas twice.

Absolutely loads of carrots onions and potatoes so can do a few things with them. It's only me and DS but he has his own (baby) food so just me. I'll probably end up trying most things on this thread as have a few days off work and a bit of time on my hands

Baking idea - Chocolate concrete
will attach link below but it’s just flour, sugar, butter/oil and cocoa powder. It’s very nice and one of my favourites if you want a sweet treat.

How many does it have to feed?
Butter bean stew with pasta sauce and some sweetcorn. Could add some cubed potato or pasta as well.
Pasta bake or vegetable bake topped with mashed potatoes and cheese.
Cheese toasties!

I’d add risotto. If you could get some eggs that would give you more options, chocolate cake, pancakes, egg fried rice for instance.

I’m stealing that chocolate concrete idea, I would have suggested a chocolate cake/muffins if the OP had eggs.

I would use the cheese, evaporated milk and pasta to make a Mac and cheese. I'd also add the peas to give some variety. We used to dilute evaporated milk with water to make normal milk when we ran out. I think it's 3 or 4 tins of water for each tin of evaporated milk. It also makes delicious rice pudding!

You could use evaporated milk to make a cheesy pasta, Mac n cheese style?

Perfect- thank you

@ednatheevilwitch great minds!

Some of the tomato pasta sauce with the butter beans as beans on toast.

The rest of the pasta sauce with the pasta and some cheese.

Onions, carrots and potatoes to make a winter vegetable stew, add some peas at the end of cooking, use Worcestershire sauce for some flavour. Make scones with a little of the Stork to eat with the stew.

Use the sweetcorn and flour to make fritters for a quick lunch.

Make soup with onions, carrots, potatoes, peas and pasta.

Bake potatoes and serve with grated cheese, or any leftover vegetable stew.

Cheese on toast.

Cook some of the rice, towards the end of cooking, stir in peas, grated carrot, finely chopped onion. Serve the savoury rice with grated cheese if available.

Make treacle tart with shortcrust pastry (use the Stork) breadcrumbs and golden syrup.

Drink cocoa to cheer yourself up.

How are you for fuel for cooking? Is it likely to be enough for making soup etc?

If not, ask for help from your supplier. If this more than a one off, have your sought help/checked your benefits etc?

Do you have any friends/family who you could 'borrow' some eggs and perhaps something like a tin or corned beef from so you could add omelettes and corned beef hash?

Love these ideas and can't wait to get started chopping veg this afternoon.

Plenty of electric so not a problem leaving things on to cook for a while, I'll use slow cooker too.

Visitors are coming on the weekend so I'll see if they can pick up some eggs.
